Revolutionizing Privileged Access Management With KeeperPAM®

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 attack vectors. Additionally, 60% of organizations cite insider threats as the primary cause of data breaches (2023 Cybersecurity Insiders – Insider Threat Report), highlighting the critical need to secure privileged accounts against both external and internal threats.

However, a vast majority of organizations – both big and small – don’t have the platforms and processes in place to secure the privileged accounts of every user, on every device, from every location. That’s where a modern Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution comes into play.

The growing need for modern privileged access management

Organizations that fail to implement a robust PAM solution face significant financial and operational risks. The 2024 IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report found that the average cost of a breach rose to $4.88 million. However, 80% of organizations that have adopted a PAM solution report a significant reduction in cyber attack success related to credential theft and misuse.

With the increasing complexity of IT environments, including hybrid cloud infrastructures, passkey adoption, DevOps pipelines and remote workforces, legacy PAM solutions often fail to provide seamless security and usability. Today’s modern infrastructure needs to be accessible at all times, from anywhere in the world, while still maintaining Just-In-Time (JIT) access, zero trust and least privilege. 

Introducing KeeperPAM: A groundbreaking approach to privileged access management

Keeper Security is pleased to announce the next generation of its privileged access management platform, KeeperPAM, a patented cloud-native, zero-knowledge platform. KeeperPAM enables seamless infrastructure access through a secure vault. Simply log in with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for one-click, passwordless access to servers, databases, web apps and SaaS platforms.

Unlike legacy PAM solutions, KeeperPAM is zero-knowledge and zero-trust, meaning Keeper never has access to your network, infrastructure or secrets. With a lightweight, containerized gateway, Keeper eliminates agents and on-premises complexity while providing full auditing, session logging and flexible access through User Interface (UI), Command-Line Interface (CLI) or isolated web browsing. 

Keeper’s engineers are the original creators of Apache Guacamole and experts in browser-based remote session protocols covering SSH, RDP, VNC, HTTPS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and more.

What makes KeeperPAM groundbreaking?

• Cloud-native, not cloud-adapted – Unlike legacy PAM providers that have adapted on-premises products to the cloud, KeeperPAM was built from the ground up to be cloud-native, scalable and easy to deploy across any environment.
• Multi-protocol access – Instant passwordless sessions to remote servers, databases and web-based applications – without exposing credentials or requiring firewall changes.
• Zero-trust and zero-knowledge security – With end-to-end zero-knowledge encryption, only you can decrypt your data and remote sessions, ensuring absolute privacy and security.
• Agentless, seamless deployment – Unlike legacy PAM solutions that require complex network configurations, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or on-prem appliances, KeeperPAM simplifies access by using a lightweight Keeper Gateway service, which eliminates network vulnerabilities and significantly reduces IT overhead.
• All-in-one platform – KeeperPAM integrates enterprise password management, secrets management, privileged session management, remote browser isolation and zero-trust network access into a single, unified solution. You can choose whether users have only an enterprise password manager license or a full PAM license.

With KeeperPAM, businesses no longer need various cybersecurity platforms cobbled together that leave them exposed. Everything is managed from a single pane of glass.

Core benefits and capabilities of KeeperPAM

KeeperPAM offers all of the functionality organizations need to prevent breaches, ensure compliance and enable easy and secure access to resources.

Some of the core capabilities include:

• Password Management – Protect and manage passwords, passkeys and confidential files in a zero-knowledge vault.
• Secrets Management – Protect API keys, CI/CD pipelines and developer tools, while eliminating secrets sprawl, by removing hard-coded credentials from source code.
• Session Management – Provide passwordless remote access to any resource using a web browser.
• Database Management – Control access to databases, either on-prem or cloud, using interactive UI sessions, CLI sessions or tunneling with your favorite front-end tools.
• Remote Browser Isolation – Lock down internal web-based apps, cloud apps and admin panels, while preventing data exfiltration and controlling browsing sessions, with auditing, session recording and password autofill.
• Admin Console – Manage and deploy Keeper to users, integrate with identity providers, monitor activity and establish role-based enforcement policies.
• Control Plane – Orchestrate and monitor the various components and activities related to privileged access, session management, policies and workflow.

How is KeeperPAM deployed?

KeeperPAM uses a zero-trust gateway service to access each environment. No firewall updates or ingress changes are needed, thereby enabling seamless, secure access without complexity.

There are three simple steps to deploy KeeperPAM, which will take under an hour to complete: 

1. Deploy the vault with your SSO and provision through SCIM, SAML or AD
2. Set policy
3. Install a Keeper Gateway in the target environments

Deploying KeeperPAM is fast, flexible and designed to scale with your organization’s needs. Whether you’re a small business or a global enterprise, Keeper’s innovative cloud-native architecture ensures rapid implementation with minimal IT overhead. Professional services are never required, unlike legacy PAM platforms. 

The future of PAM is here

As cyber threats continue to escalate and regulatory requirements become more stringent, businesses need a modern PAM solution that is secure, scalable and simple to deploy. KeeperPAM redefines privileged access security by eliminating outdated architectures, reducing complexity and delivering an all-in-one, zero-trust security platform.

By combining enterprise password management, secrets management, connection management, zero-trust network access and remote browser isolation into a single, easy-to-use interface, KeeperPAM empowers businesses of all sizes to proactively prevent breaches, streamline compliance and simplify security.
