Wardengate
Platform

One privileged access gateway platform

Wardengate is not a point tool — it is the control plane for how humans, vendors, and workloads reach production. Brokering, recording, MFA, and audit evidence share one policy engine.

Days

Helm or Compose deploy — not a six-month agent rollout

One

gateway for every protocol

SSH, RDP, databases, and Kubernetes through one policy engine

Signed

audit export bundles

Evidence your GRC team can hand to auditors without reconstruction

Self-hosted

control plane option

Run on your infrastructure — no mandatory SaaS lock-in

Why teams choose the platform model

Gateway-first enforcement

Every privileged path terminates at Wardengate. Policy, MFA, and recording happen at the choke point — not on targets operators control.

Identity-bound by default

Entitlements follow people and workloads from your IdP. No shared accounts, no orphan keys, no standing vendor tunnels.

Evidence auditors recognize

Structured exports feed GRC tools and SIEMs. Reviewers get playback and metadata in one pass — not a folder of correlated syslog.

Your infrastructure, your data

Run the control plane on-prem or in your cloud. Open-source tier available. No mandatory SaaS lock-in.

What is a privileged access gateway?

Session brokers sit between identities and targets — enforcing policy, injecting credentials, and recording activity. They are the modern replacement for bastion fleets and vault checkout workflows.
