Keeper Security

Keeper Security is a global provider of password management, privileged access management, and secure access to sensitive resources. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Keeper also has international locations, including in California, Ireland, and the Philippines.

Keeper's platform is based on a zero-trust and zero-knowledge architecture. This means access is consistently verified, while sensitive data is encrypted in such a way that Keeper itself has no access to plaintext data. Keeper describes its platform as a solution designed to protect every user on every device while integrating easily into existing IT and security landscapes.

The Keeper portfolio includes solutions for enterprise password management, digital vaults, secure sharing, secrets management, dark web monitoring, and privileged access management (PAM). Companies can deploy individual functions modularly and expand them step by step.

At its core is the encrypted Keeper Vault, where passwords, passkeys, 2FA codes, files, credentials, and other sensitive information are stored securely. This is complemented by centralized administration, policies, reporting, SSO integration, SCIM provisioning, SIEM connectivity, and functions for privileged access.

• Keeper Password Manager – secure vault for credentials and sensitive information

Keeper Password Manager enables secure management of passwords, passkeys, 2FA codes, files, and sensitive information in an encrypted digital vault. Users can securely store credentials, use them across various devices, and share them in a controlled manner with other individuals or teams.

This is particularly relevant for companies because password security is not only a technical but also an organizational challenge. Keeper helps reduce weak or reused passwords, enable secure sharing, and enforce security policies centrally.

• Enterprise Password Management – centralized management for organizations

Keeper Enterprise Password Management extends the password manager with centralized management, governance, and integration functions. Companies can control users, roles, policies, teams, sharing, and security requirements through an admin console.

The platform supports integrations with SSO, SCIM, SIEM, and existing identity providers. This allows Keeper to be integrated into existing IAM, ITSM, and security processes. IT and security teams gain a centralized view of password security, usage, policy violations, and potential risks.

• KeeperPAM – privileged access management for modern infrastructures

KeeperPAM is Keeper's privileged access management solution. It combines enterprise password management, secrets management, connection management, zero-trust network access, and remote browser isolation in a cloud-native platform. Keeper positions KeeperPAM as a modern PAM solution designed to secure critical resources such as servers, web applications, databases, and workloads.

Unlike classic PAM approaches, KeeperPAM is strongly focused on rapid deployment, ease of use, and cloud-native operation. Privileged access can be provisioned in a controlled, logged, and time-limited manner. This helps reduce risks from permanent privileged accounts, shared credentials, or uncontrolled administrator access.

• Secrets Management – protecting technical secrets

In addition to human credentials, Keeper also supports the management of technical secrets. These include, for example, API keys, certificates, database access credentials, tokens, or credentials for automation and DevOps processes.

Secrets management is especially important in modern cloud, DevOps, and automation environments. Keeper helps ensure that technical secrets are no longer stored in scripts, configuration files, or unprotected repositories, but instead are provided centrally, encrypted, and in a controlled manner.

• BreachWatch – dark web monitoring for compromised credentials

BreachWatch is Keeper's dark web monitoring function. It continuously checks stored credentials against known data breaches and compromised passwords. If at-risk credentials are detected, users and administrators can be notified so that affected passwords can be changed quickly.

BreachWatch is especially valuable for companies because compromised credentials are often used for credential stuffing, account takeover, or initial attacks. The function helps identify such risks early and respond more quickly.

• Remote Browser Isolation and secure access to web applications

KeeperPAM also supports remote browser isolation. This allows protected web applications to be accessed via an isolated browser session, without requiring direct access from the endpoint device to the target application. Keeper describes this function as VPN-less access to protected web-based applications directly from the Keeper Vault.

This is particularly relevant for companies that want to secure internal applications, admin interfaces, or cloud web applications. Access can be controlled, recorded, and provided without permanently open network paths.

Keeper is particularly well suited for companies that want to pragmatically improve password security, privileged access, and secrets management. The platform is frequently used where credentials are spread across many teams, applications, devices, and cloud services, and where security or compliance teams need more control over passwords, secrets, and privileged sessions.

Typical scenarios include introducing an enterprise password manager, replacing insecure password repositories, centrally managing team and admin credentials, dark web monitoring, secrets management for technical accounts, and getting started with privileged access management.

Keeper also makes sense when companies are looking for an easy-to-deploy solution that combines usability and security control. Especially for organizations that want to quickly gain visibility into password and access risks, Keeper offers a pragmatic starting point with the option to later expand toward PAM and secrets management.

Passwords, privileged accounts, and technical secrets are key risk factors in enterprise security. Companies must ensure that credentials are protected, policies are followed, privileged access is controlled, and security-relevant activities are documented in a traceable manner.

Keeper supports these requirements through encrypted vaults, centralized policies, secure sharing, audit reporting, SSO- and SIEM integration, dark web monitoring, and PAM functions. This allows companies to better control password and access risks and support requirements arising from internal security policies, data protection, ISO 27001, NIS2 or industry-specific regulations.

It is particularly worth noting that Keeper offers a FedRAMP-authorized or FedRAMP-certified solution for government and high-security environments. Keeper describes KeeperPAM, or the Keeper Security Government Cloud, as a FedRAMP-certified solution with zero-trust security, real-time visibility, and control.

Keeper stands out through its combination of password management, secrets management, and privileged access management on a unified zero-knowledge and zero-trust-platform. While many solutions specialize either in classic password management or complex enterprise PAM scenarios, Keeper combines both worlds in a modular approach.

A key difference lies in usability. Keeper addresses not only administrators and security teams but also end users. The platform aims to make secure passwords, passkeys, 2FA codes, files, and sharing easy to use. This allows password security to be more broadly established within the company without unnecessarily impairing productivity.

At the same time, Keeper extends this approach with KeeperPAM toward privileged access, connection management, secrets management, zero-trust network access, and remote browser isolation. This allows the platform to grow from an enterprise password manager into a more comprehensive access security solution.

Another differentiating factor is the zero-knowledge architecture. Sensitive information is encrypted client-side, so it is never available in plaintext on Keeper's servers. For companies with high data protection and security requirements, this is an important trust factor.

Keeper is particularly well suited for organizations looking for a quickly implementable security platform that allows password security, dark web monitoring, secure sharing, and privileged access to be professionalized step by step.

IPG has been an official partner of Keeper Security since 2023 and is thus one of the early certified partners in Europe.
