Meet strongDM | Cameron Delano 8

Today’s Day Two Cloud is a sponsored episode with StrongDM. StrongDM focuses on infrastructure access; that is, helping engineers and IT professionals get access to databases, servers, Kubernetes clusters, switches, Web apps, and more from a desktop or laptop.

StrongDM takes a proxy approach to the challenge of access and authentication. It uses a local client that can run on a Mac, Windows, or Linux device; a gateway to mediate access; and an administration layer for setting policies and permissions and auditing access.

Our guest is Justin McCarthy, StrongDM’s co-founder and CTO.
