# Database, Kubernetes, and SSH access without passwords

**[Tailscale](https://daily.dev/sources/tailscale)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Border0 integrated with Tailscale replaces shared database credentials and connection strings with identity-aware access management for databases, Kubernetes, SSH, and RDP. Every connection is brokered through a Layer 7 proxy that understands database wire protocols, ties sessions to real user identities via existing SSO providers, and records query-level activity. Access policies can be scoped by role, time, region, or approval workflow, enabling just-in-time access rather than standing credentials. The result is a consistent audit trail across all sensitive systems, useful for SOC 2/ISO 27001 compliance and incident reconstruction. A free trial is available with no credit card required.
