Getting started with Border0
This week, we released an improved version of the connector install flow.
👉 Check out this 2-minute demo and see how easy it is to get your first Border0 connector installed, and start using it to make your servers, containers, and database available. Super happy with this new flow! 😀
I may have overused the word “easy” in this video… But hey.. that’s what it is, easy! 😂 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After you have your new connector up and running, you can add sockets (services) and make them available to your team members. Examples include Databases like MySQL, Postgres, or MSSQL, running in AWS, GCP, Azure, or anywhere else. Or compute services such as Linux machines, ec2, Docker containers, ECS, or Kubernetes containers. Finally, desktop access, such as RDP and VNC, is also supported.
With Border0, users can easily discover all services they have access to. They can connect without the need for a VPN using their favorite tools or all through the browser. Shared database credentials, static keys, or passwords can be completely eliminated. It’s low friction and a way of working that fits in an engineer's natural flow.
Finally, administrators such as IT teams or Security folks can set fine grained policies, defining exactly who should have what kind of access to what Server, when, from where and under specific custom conditions. For example, you could define a policy that gives the Okta group “Database-admins” read-write access to the databases, but only during work hours and only when in a specific Geo. Meanwhile, the SRE team may only have read-only access to these databases when on-call. These are simple examples, but they illustrate the level of control you have.
But it’s not just control; it’s also visibility and auditability. You can now easily see who (what SSO identity) accessed what server, when, and from where. You can even see what happened during each session, for example, what database queries were executed, or watch a video of the SSH session.
