Securing Network Devices with StrongDM's Zero Trust PAM Platform
Securing Network Devices with StrongDM's Zero Trust PAM Platform
Let’s talk about the unsung heroes of your on-premises infrastructure: network devices. These are the routers, switches, and firewalls that everyone forgets about…and takes for granted—until something breaks. And when one of those somethings breaks, it leads to some pretty bad stuff. If your network goes down, that’s bad, bad, bad for business. But if those devices lack the necessary security, well, that can leave you exposed in an incredibly dangerous way.
What Is Zero Trust for the Cloud? (And Why It's Important)
What Is Zero Trust for the Cloud? (And Why It's Important)
Zero Trust cloud security is a cybersecurity model that operates on the principle that no user, device, system, or action should be trusted by default — even if it's inside your organization’s own network. This approach minimizes the risk of breaches and other cyber threats by limiting access to sensitive information and resources based on user roles, device security posture, and contextual factors.

What Is Privileged Identity Management (PIM)? 7 Best Practices
What Is Privileged Identity Management (PIM)? 7 Best Practices
Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is a complex cybersecurity approach. But it’s the only proven method you can use to lock down access and protect your precious resources. It can help you keep cybercriminals out and ensure that even your trusted users can’t accidentally—or intentionally—jeopardize your system’s security.
What Is Zero Trust Data Protection?
What Is Zero Trust Data Protection?
Zero Trust Data Protection isn't just the best way to safeguard your data — given today's advanced threat landscape, it's the only way. Assuming inherent trust just because an access request is inside your network is just asking for a breach. By implementing the latest tactics in authentication, network segmentation, encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring, ZT data security takes the opposite approach.
