Use cases

Simplify, secure, and streamline remote SSH access based on a user’s identity through your IDP. Remote user access is provided only to machines authorized by administrators rather than the entire network. Automated time-bound credentials on the remote users’ behalf provide a seamless and passwordless experience.

Secure remote access on any TCP connection, including access to Windows machines over Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This gives remote users just-in-time access with time-bound credentials that don’t need to be stored on their local machines. All sessions can be monitored, logged, and terminated by a central administrative team.

Keep remote user access consistent, secure, time-bound, and least-privileged. Use single sign-on to minimize risks associated with storing long-lived credentials across different databases, machines, and clouds. Plus, improve governance by monitoring and auditing all sessions.

Reduce the risk of a security breach by eliminating the use of locally stored Kubernetes tokens without expiration dates that can be exploited by unauthorized users. Boundary lets remote teams use time-bound credentials to securely and consistently access Kubernetes clusters across any public or private cloud environment.
