NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Keeper Security remains at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation, delivering AI-enabled solutions engineered for modern IT environments. KeeperPAM is purpose-built for today’s hybrid, cloud-first environments, providing unified protection for passwords, passkeys, secrets, privileged accounts, remote sessions and endpoints.

By integrating credential management and PAM with advanced capabilities such as AI-powered session analysis, automated remediation and remote browser isolation, Keeper empowers security and DevOps teams with tools that are powerful and intuitive. Keeper’s industry-first Forcefield™ technology protects Windows endpoints from memory-based credential theft. The platform’s end-to-end encrypted architecture ensures organizations maintain complete control over their secrets and credentials, data and encryption keys.

This foundation of trust has made Keeper the choice of Fortune 100 companies and U.S. federal agencies, including the Departments of Justice and Energy. VaynerX, a global modern media and communications company, leverages Keeper Enterprise Password Manager, part of the KeeperPAM platform, to strengthen credential security across its organization. With teams working across multiple regions and accessing a wide range of internal systems and external client platforms, the organization deployed Keeper to provide a consistent and centralized approach to credential management to reduce risk without compromising speed and flexibility.

At the core of Keeper’s approach is a true zero-knowledge encryption architecture, where encryption keys are generated, stored and used exclusively on the customer’s devices. Keeper’s encryption operates consistently across all data types and workflows – passwords, passkeys, secrets, files, session recordings and metadata – providing end-to-end protection throughout the entire data lifecycle. This unified encryption approach eliminates weak points commonly introduced when organizations rely on multiple tools with inconsistent cryptographic models and fragmented access controls.

Keeper combines device-level Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) with AES-256 encryption, PBKDF2 key derivation, multi-factor authentication and biometric protections to defend against both offline and online attack vectors. Encryption and decryption occur locally, ensuring that no plaintext data is ever transmitted or stored on Keeper’s servers. This design protects against credential theft, insider risk and advanced attack techniques that target centralized key stores and shared secrets repositories.

Keeper has also integrated the Kyber key encapsulation mechanism across its platform, a quantum-resistant encryption algorithm approved by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Building on its long-standing reputation for using the industry’s most trusted encryption standards, Keeper’s integration of Kyber adds post-quantum resilience on top of established encryption, maintaining strong protection today while supporting long-term quantum readiness.
