Least privilege access built for infrastructure that never stops changing.
Delinea secures every identity. Once a human, machine, or AI agent connects through StrongDM, authorization is evaluated for the life of that session, not just once at login.
THE INFRASTRUCTURE REALITY
When infrastructure shifts hourly, broad grants and static roles fall behind. StrongDM grants least-privilege access just in time and automatically expires it, so no one keeps permissions they don't need.

DELINEA + STRONGDM
StrongDM extends Delinea's control plane into the cloud-native, hybrid, and ephemeral infrastructure that moves too fast for standing policy alone.
HOW IT WORKS
Every request to a database, container, or cloud infrastructure, moves through the same four steps, no matter who or what is asking.
The user, machine, or agent connects through StrongDM, which is the only path to any resource.
Access is requested for one resource and task, then approved in seconds by policy or a human.
StrongDM logs every action live, brokers the credential throughout, and ends sessions instantly when policy breaks.
Once the work finishes, access disappears automatically, so no credentials or open sessions linger.

WHERE IT WORKS
Databases, containers, infrastructure, and AI agents, whether in the cloud or on-premises, all reachable through the same StrongDM gateway.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, and 20+ more.
Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, and Docker.
AWS, including GovCloud, Google Cloud, and Azure.
Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, and Copilot.
Linux, Windows Server (RDP), and SSH-based systems.
Internal tools and HTTP/S resources, no VPN required.
STRONGDM BUSINESS BENEFITS
Bring cloud, Kubernetes, databases, and AI agents under one least-privilege model, with credentials proxied and never exposed.
Native just-in-time access through the CLI, scripts, and IaC tools engineers already use, embedded into existing pipelines.
Humans and AI agents get instant, secure access without ticket queues, cutting audit prep from hours to minutes.
CAPABILITIES
Desktop client for developers and business users delivers a frustration-free experience.
StrongDM integrates natively with the terminal, IDE, and CLI tools developers already rely on. Security that doesn’t ask anyone to change how they work is security that gets used instead of routed around.
Human-in-the-loop approvals via Slack or Teams, or automatic approvals via ITSMs, streamline access.
Requests get approved in Slack or Teams, or automatically through your ITSM, and access disappears the moment the task is done. Standing privilege drops where risk demands it, so there’s less sitting around waiting to be stolen.
Adaptive, policy-based authorization with real-time visibility and control strengthens security posture.
Most tools check who you are once, at sign-in, then trust you for everything after. StrongDM keeps evaluating, so a hijacked session or a compromised credential gets caught mid-action, not after the damage is done.
Detailed logging of access, activity, and policy approvals improves compliance and forensics.
Every access request, action, and approval is logged, and sessions are recorded. When compliance asks or an incident happens, you have the record instead of a guess.
Consistent authorization, auditing, and policy enforcement across AI agents and automated workflows mitigate risk.
AI agents request access and act without a human clicking approve in the moment. StrongDM applies the same authorization, auditing, and policy enforcement to agents that it applies to every other identity, so autonomous behavior never becomes an unmonitored access path.
Seamless integration with Delinea Secret Server or other vaults extends prior investments.
StrongDM works natively with Delinea Secret Server and other vaults you’ve already deployed. Nothing you’ve invested in gets replaced, it gets extended to cover the access your current vault can’t reach on its own.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
“Security is a necessary part of day-to-day life. In terms of how we go forward, StrongDM will continue to be part of that story. It has all the mechanisms in place for database access control that we require, and I haven’t found a competitor yet that does the same thing.”
“We chose StrongDM because it’s the one solution to rule them all. You integrate all your data sources, servers, and Kubernetes clusters into StrongDM. Your developers get one simple tool to connect using SSO, and they have access to what they own.”
“Clearcover remains committed to the industry’s best security practices. StrongDM provides us with better insights to bolster our security posture.”
“I would urge all other CISOs to adopt StrongDM as their database proxy platform. We implemented it within a day, and within a week we saw more users requesting access once they saw how easy it was.”
“With StrongDM, people don’t have to maintain usernames and passwords for databases, keys for servers, or passwords for websites. When you eliminate the need for passwords, the attack surface is reduced.”
