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?

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.

Kubectl Cheat Sheet - Kubernetes Commands (Basic to Advanced)

Kubernetes is a popular tool for managing synchronized groups, or clusters, of computers. Users employ it to configure and deploy applications in parallel across clusters on your networks. The kubectl command line tool in Kubernetes lets you send instructions to and receive information from your clusters. This kubectl cheat sheet is a quick guide to getting started with kubectl, including installation, configuration, key commands, and efficiency tips.

5 Types of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Explained

With so many advanced cyber attackers lurking on the threat landscape, a simple password is no longer enough to safeguard your sensitive data. There are many reasons to adopt MFA for your business. It supplements your security by requiring additional information from users upon their access requests—and it significantly reduces your risk of incurring a breach. Several multi-factor authentication methods are available, with varying strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to compare the differences

Simplify Database Authorization with Policy-Based Action Control

As enterprises continue to modernize their IT environments, the need for a more advanced and adaptable approach to database authorization becomes increasingly apparent. Traditional models, with their reliance on static roles and broad permissions, are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of decentralized, dynamic infrastructures. StrongDM addresses this gap by offering a solution that emphasizes fine-grained, policy-based action control, enabling organizations to manage database access with

StrongDM Now Delivers Continuous Authorization for Databases Through Fine-Grained Policy-based Action Control

Access is no longer the primary challenge in enterprise security; it's the actions of users that are most aligned with managing risk. By focusing on how actions are authorized, StrongDM is giving customers a more effective approach to enterprise security. Our policy-based action control ensures that, in addition to access, every user action is scrutinized, delivering a higher level of security tailored to meet the complex demands of modern enterprises.

IGA vs. PAM: What’s the Difference?

IGA (Identity Governance and Administration) manages user identities and access across the organization, ensuring proper access and compliance. PAM (Privileged Access Management) secures privileged accounts with elevated permissions by using measures like credential vaulting and session monitoring to prevent misuse. While IGA handles overall user access, PAM adds security for the most sensitive accounts.

SQL Injection Prevention: 6 Proven Ways to Prevent Attacks

SQL injection attacks remain one of the most prevalent and dangerous threats to database security. These attacks can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, and cause significant financial and reputational damage. Understanding how to prevent SQL injection attacks will help you foster a security-conscious organizational culture.

How To Monitor and Securely Access IoT Devices Remotely

Internet of Things (IoT) devices form the backbone of many modern businesses, facilitating operations, collecting valuable data, and enhancing efficiency. However, the widespread deployment of these devices creates numerous entry points for potential attackers. Without robust security measures, you risk exposing critical systems and sensitive information to malicious actors.

What Is Defense In Depth (DiD)? Strategy & Implementation

Traditional security measures like simple virus protection, firewalls, and web and email filtering are no longer sufficient to safeguard against the sophisticated tactics used by modern cybercriminals. This heightened complexity means you must implement advanced defense mechanisms that go beyond basic protections, ensuring a resilient and adaptive cybersecurity posture.

MFA: The Brave New World of Authentication (Infographic)

Get ready to secure everything and anything with MFA. Easily combine security checks such as device trust and geo-location. With StrongDM you can MFA all resources (e.g., multiple clouds, diverse databases, or critical applications, etc.) without changing your applications’ code or infrastructure.
