Case Study: Axos Financial secures and streamlines database access with StrongDM

Axos Financial Secures and Streamlines Database Access with StrongDM

Axos Financial, the holding company for Axos Bank, Axos Clearing, and Axos Invest, struggled to manage database access as it grew quickly. The company faced the burden of reviewing more than 200,000 database permissions each year and needed a more efficient, secure way to handle access requests. StrongDM helped Axos modernize its database access management approach.

With StrongDM, Axos Financial consolidated many individual access tickets into a single role-based request, eliminated direct database access, and added an extra security layer with centralized audit logging. The platform improved onboarding for technical users, supported high adoption, and gave Axos better visibility into access patterns and queries without impacting database performance. StrongDM also helped Axos accelerate security and operational maturity while simplifying deployment and rollout.
