Ramp Contracts SSH Access Proxy solves this. It removes the fragile chain of ad-hoc tunnels, shell scripts, and scattered credentials. It gives you a clear, auditable, and secure path into protected environments without slowing engineering down.
With Ramp Contracts SSH Access Proxy, every connection is routed through a controlled gateway. Access policies are enforced in real time. Keys are short-lived. Sessions can be recorded. You control who can reach what, down to the command. This isn’t just SSH — it’s SSH under contract.
The difference starts with contracts as code. You define them once, in plain configuration, and they apply everywhere. No need to remember to clean up old accounts or rotate keys. Contracts expire on schedule. Access requests are explicit. You get high-trust automation without manual cleanup or firefighting.
Traditional bastion setups are hard to scale. Developers rack up multiple tabs, swap SSH configs, and forward ports blindly. Ramp Contracts SSH Access Proxy centralizes and simplifies the entire model. Developers authenticate once. The proxy grants scoped, temporary access that works cleanly with existing SSH clients and tooling.
Security teams gain visibility. Every session is linked to a contract. Logs show exactly what happened, when, and why. There’s no dependency on someone remembering to enable logging or rotate credentials. This level of traceability closes audit gaps and satisfies compliance requirements with less friction.
Deploying the proxy is fast. Point it at your existing infrastructure and define your first contracts. Engineers connect without breaking their workflow. Ops teams enforce least privilege without endless meetings or custom scripts.
