According to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 75% of cyber attacks involve exploiting compromised privileged credentials, making privileged access one of the most sought-after
Keeper Security is excited to introduce Granular Sharing Enforcements for all products in the Keeper® platform. This feature, an extension of Keeper’s robust existing sharing policies, enables administrators to apply detailed restrictions for record creation and sharing to user roles. By doing so, Keeper Admins can easily enforce the principle of least privilege and simplify compliance.
Administrators can leverage Granular Sharing Enforcements to streamline internal record sharing, improve security and compliance, and give administrators full visibility and control over employee usage and sharing of credentials.
Keeper Enhances Identity Solutions
Layering Keeper on top of existing identity solutions helps cover security gaps and reduces the risk of a data breach. Key features of Keeper’s Granular Sharing Enforcements include:
Auditing: Many systems lack audit trail capabilities for security and compliance. Keeper solves this by providing clear alerting and reporting on over 200 different event types.
Version control: By ensuring only a small subset of users can update or share records, Keeper’s Granular Sharing Enforcements help teams ensure that information is consistent and accurate.
Seamless access on any device: Keeper provides the same user experience across platforms, ensuring ease of use whether on the web, desktop or mobile.
Encryption: Keeper provides secure sharing with elliptic curve encryption, ensuring cybercriminals cannot intercept passwords or other shared records in transit.
Keeper’s Granular Sharing Enforcements take one step further and apply detailed rules for roles to ensure that least privilege access is retained, even upon sharing files and credentials.
Granular Sharing Enforcements Improve Visibility and Security
Keeper Administrators have consistently asked for more control over global user record and folder management. Keeper’s added Granular Sharing Enforcement rules provide more detailed restrictions administrators can apply to users for both creating and sharing records.
With these restrictions, administrators can prevent or allow:
- Creating any records in user vaults
- Creating records outside of shared folders
- Creating folders
- Creating folders outside of shared folders
- Creating new shared folders
- Creating items in the identity and payments tab
- Uploading files
- Sharing to other users
- Sharing to other users outside of shared folders
- Generating One-Time Share links
- Sharing records with file attachments
- Sharing to users outside the enterprise
- Receiving items from outside the enterprise
Several compliance regulations, including HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS and SOX, mandate sharing restrictions for many reasons, but primarily to protect individuals, organizations and the public.
How To Enable Granular Sharing Enforcements
Keeper Administrators can enable their preferred restrictions by navigating to the Enforcement Policies section of the Admin Console for the chosen role and selecting Creating and Sharing.
When visiting this screen, administrators will notice the majority of permissions are toggled on by default. Enforcements have been designed to be simple and powerful, allowing admins to easily customize permissions to best suit the compliance needs of their organization.
Ensure Compliance and Streamline Operations
Keeper’s development is driven by a desire to lead the industry with technical innovation and voice-of-customer research. Launching Granular Sharing Enforcements addresses both of those areas by providing organizations with the streamlined approach they’ve been asking for in a simple package to make compliance a breeze.
Keeper helps organizations of all sizes adhere to strict security compliance policies by giving administrators full visibility and control over employee usage and sharing of credentials as well as role-based access.
