This episode of the StrongDM Explained series introduces how StrongDM modernises infrastructure access through identity-driven Zero Trust, helping organisations move beyond traditional VPNs, legacy jump boxes and static credentials. The session explores the challenges of managing access across cloud and on-premises environments, including connection issues, credential management and administrative bottlenecks. Matt Ord demonstrates how StrongDM enables secure access to servers and databases through existing single sign-on (SSO) providers, without requiring static credentials on local machines. The episode highlights how StrongDM helps organisations simplify access management, strengthen security and improve developer productivity.
