StrongDM

aid: strongdm
name: StrongDM
description: StrongDM is a Zero Trust Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform that brokers and governs access to infrastructure
  — databases, servers, Kubernetes clusters, cloud resources, network devices, and internal web apps — through a central control
  plane. It enforces policy and authorization continuously with adaptive action controls, full session recording and audit,
  and no standing privileges. Automation is exposed through the StrongDM Admin API, a gRPC-based control-plane API that first-party
  SDKs (Go, Java, Python, Ruby, C#) wrap with REST-like ergonomics and request signing, plus a Terraform provider and the
  sdm command-line client. This profile was enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline from StrongDM's public developer surface.

- name: StrongDM Admin API
  description: The StrongDM control-plane API for automating management of resources, accounts, roles, access grants, gateways,
    relays, secret stores, and audit logs. The transport is gRPC with request signing; StrongDM ships first-party SDKs (Go,
    Java, Python, Ruby, C#) that wrap it with REST-like ergonomics and handle signing, retries, and pagination. Authentication
    is an API access key plus secret key generated in the Admin UI.
