As the autumn leaves fall and Halloween costumes are tucked away, it's time to share product updates before we gather around the Thanksgiving table. This month, StrongDM dives into the passwordless future using cloud-native authentication to meet modern infrastructure demands. Also coming soon, keep an eye out for Device Trust: A new feature that adds critical context to your access connections and narrows the aperture for risk. Read the details below.
StrongDM manages and audits access to infrastructure.
- Role-based, attribute-based, & just-in-time access to infrastructure
- Connect any person or service to any infrastructure, anywhere
- Logging like you've never seen
It is graduation month and as you prepare to graduate from outdated security practices, we're excited to introduce new features that will give your security policies a well-deserved upgrade.
Say goodbye to old manual ways and welcome a brighter future of enhanced security. In this blog post, we'll delve into our newest product enhancements that are designed to empower organizations on their cybersecurity journey.
- Log Streaming to S3: Dive into a world of enhanced visibility, compliance, and security as we enable you to effortlessly stream your StrongDM audit logs to a third-party object storage service. We are starting with Amazon S3, and will be introducing additional options in the future. It only takes a few steps. Simply enable log streaming in the Admin UI, add the policy to your S3 policy, and you’re done. Now all logs will be written to the configured S3 location. Once the data is in S3, export to any tool you wish. Documentation Here.
For instance, effortlessly send logs from your S3 bucket to Splunk and craft personalized dashboards to suit your needs. Uncover source-specific role changes, track server changes over time, or trace authentication events by country. The possibilities are endless.

Improvements
- Certificate Expiration Time. The certificates used by the SSH Certificate-based resource type now have a validity of 24 hours, this is increased from 3 minutes.
