Zero trust PAM, built to the standard agencies already use to grade it.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Zero Trust Maturity Model measures progress across five pillars. Delinea and StrongDM cover all five, from the vault to the live session, for every human, machine, and AI identity touching your infrastructure.
Visibility and analytics. StrongDM session recording and replay, combined with Identity Threat Protection’s behavior analytics, means anomalous privileged activity gets flagged in the environment where it happened, not reconstructed after the fact from five different log sources.
Automation and orchestration. Access Workflows in StrongDM route just-in-time requests through Slack, Teams, or ServiceNow. Account Lifecycle Manager automates service account provisioning and decommissioning on its own schedule. Neither one waits on a ticket queue.
Governance. Compliance reporting, audit trails, and separation-of-duties enforcement span both platforms, so an auditor gets one coherent record instead of a reconciliation project.

Why It’s Different
Most access tools authorize once. They check the request, issue the credential, and consider the job done. StrongDM delivers runtime authorization throughout the life of the session. Here’s what that makes possible.
StrongDM brokers the credential at the moment of connection, scopes it to the task, and revokes it the instant the task ends, leaving nothing for an attacker to find.
StrongDM evaluates each command or query against policy before it runs and ends the session immediately if something violates policy.
Engineers and AI agents keep using the tools they already use, while enforcement happens underneath the workflow, not on top of it.
Gateways and relays deploy in pairs and scale horizontally, so a single node failure doesn’t take down access.
PROOF
“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.”
