NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

As organizations accelerate cloud adoption, identity-based attacks have become a leading cause of data breaches. This risk is amplified by AI-driven automation, which dramatically increases the number and privilege of Non-Human Identities (NHIs) operating in cloud environments, from service accounts to APIs and automated AI processes.

Keeper’s Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, KeeperPAM, delivers AI-enabled, cloud-native privileged account security that safeguards both human and NHIs – such as applications, APIs, service accounts, automation scripts and AI agents that act on behalf of users – across all modern IT environments. Recognized for innovation in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for PAM, Keeper’s identity security platform centrally governs access for humans, machines, NHIs and AI-driven workflows.

By securing both human users and NHIs, KeeperPAM addresses one of the fastest-growing attack surfaces in cybersecurity. Organizations can securely manage and protect applications, containers, APIs, service accounts and scripts, ensuring machine identities do not become persistent, unmanaged points of compromise as automation scales across cloud infrastructure.
Keeper’s approach has been recognized by leading analysts. KuppingerCole named Keeper an Overall Leader in its Leadership Compass for Non-Human Identity Management, and further recognized Keeper as a Product Leader and Innovation Leader. The report highlights Keeper’s strengths in lifecycle governance, automation and cloud-native integration, particularly through Keeper Secrets Manager.

What sets KeeperPAM apart is its ability to consistently govern privileged access across cloud infrastructure, SaaS platforms and automation, without adding complexity.
Unlike legacy PAM solutions designed for on-premises infrastructure, KeeperPAM is cloud-native and purpose-built for cloud, multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The platform requires no inbound firewall changes, no bastion hosts and no agents. Most PAM tools were never designed to manage cloud identities at scale. KeeperPAM reflects how cloud environments actually operate today, delivering practical least-privilege controls, automated rotation and visibility across identities that attackers increasingly target.

As organizations manage service accounts, APIs and automation created by cloud and AI-driven workflows, the real challenge is maintaining clear, consistent control across all identity types as they grow. KeeperPAM provides unified credential management and enforcement of least privilege across both human and non-human identities, ensuring access remains tightly governed as digital environments become more automated.
