Key Capabilities / Features

Keeper’s cybersecurity platform enables zero-trust security and compliance by unifying enterprise password management, secrets management and privileged connection management – all built on Keeper’s proprietary zero-knowledge encryption model.

User and device verification are at the core of zero trust. A zero-trust solution must include a number of functions to ensure its effectiveness. Some of those functions include:

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP)
Monitoring and validation

In a recent Keeper survey, 40% of respondents revealed that they had experienced a cyber attack originating from an employee, highlighting the critical need for robust PAM solutions to protect against insider threats. Further, according to the 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, 80% of organizations that have adopted PAM solutions report a significant reduction in cyber attack success related to credential theft and misuse. KeeperPAM builds on this approach, integrating a zero-trust security framework that ensures only verified, authorized users gain access to critical infrastructure while its zero-knowledge architecture ensures complete data protection.

The zero-knowledge model utilizes a unique encryption and data segregation framework that prevents IT service providers from having any knowledge as to what is stored on their servers.

In Keeper’s case, this means:

Customer data is encrypted and decrypted at the device level (not on the server).
The Keeper app never stores plain text (human-readable) data.
Keeper’s servers never receive data in plain text.
The keys to decrypt and encrypt data are derived from the user’s master password.
Multi-layer encryption provides access control at the user, group and admin level.
Sharing of data uses public key cryptography for secure key distribution.
Data is encrypted on the user’s device before it is transmitted and stored in Keeper’s digital vault.
No one but the end user can view the plain-text data in their vault — not even Keeper’s employees.

How we are different

Keeper Security was co-founded by two cybersecurity visionaries, Darren Guccione (CEO) and Craig Lurey (CTO). Fourteen years ago, Darren and Craig conceived the early plans for the world’s top-rated zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) software on a long overseas flight. Today, Keeper is transforming cybersecurity for millions of individuals and thousands of organizations globally. Built with end-to-end encryption, Keeper's intuitive cybersecurity platform is trusted by Fortune 100 companies to protect every user, on every device, in every location.

Keeper’s patented zero-trust and zero-knowledge PAM solution, KeeperPAM, unifies enterprise password, secrets and connections management with zero-trust network access and remote browser isolation. By combining these critical identity and access management components into a single cloud-based solution, Keeper delivers unparalleled visibility, security and control while ensuring users meet compliance and audit requirements. KeeperPAM is a fully cloud-native solution that seamlessly integrates all PAM processes into Keeper’s encrypted vault. This unified approach ensures simplicity and scalability, enabling organizations to manage privileged credentials and secrets securely within a single platform. Whether securing on-premises systems or cloud-based infrastructure, KeeperPAM enables organizations to implement a comprehensive access-control policy that adapts to their unique needs and risk profiles.

Keeper’s solutions meet the highest standards of data protection, privacy and security, providing organizations with assurance that their PAM solution is backed by industry-leading security standards. Keeper’s solutions are SOC 2 and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certified, FIPS 140-3 validated, and FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorized, demonstrating the company’s commitment to the highest security standards. Keeper combines device-level elliptical curve cryptography with multiple layers of encryption, multi-factor and biometric authentication, and AES 256-bit encryption plus PBKDF2 to protect enterprises and midmarket organizations in the private and public sector, including federal agencies like the Departments of Justice and Energy.
