Keeper delivers KeeperPAM® as a single, unified platform. One vault, one admin console and one policy engine cover enterprise password management, secrets management, privileged session management, Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) and endpoint privilege management.
All capabilities share the same zero-knowledge architecture, the same encrypted vault and the same reporting infrastructure. There are no separate products to integrate, no inconsistent interfaces to navigate and no professional services required to reach a production-ready state.
BeyondTrust is a well-established PAM leader whose product suite spans Password Safe, Privileged Remote Access (PRA), Endpoint Privilege Management and the Pathfinder Platform, each with its own interface, data storage and administrative model.
BeyondTrust has made meaningful progress toward unifying these under the Pathfinder console, but the underlying products remain separate, and integration between them relies on API connections.
Keeper is built on a true zero-knowledge, zero-trust architecture. All encryption is performed client-side before data reaches Keeper's servers. Keeper has no technical ability to access customer vault data, credentials or secrets, and neither does anyone else. Every record is protected by a unique AES-256 encryption key generated locally on the user's device.
Based on publicly available documentation, BeyondTrust does not employ a zero-knowledge encryption model.
Keeper has implemented quantum-resistant encryption using the CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithm, a NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic standard, helping to future-proof customer data against the threat of quantum computing attacks on current encryption.
Keeper's cryptographic module is also FIPS 140-3 validated by the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program.
Based on publicly available information as of April 2026, BeyondTrust has not publicly implemented or announced quantum-resistant encryption.
BeyondTrust achieves FIPS 140-3 compliance for its Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access products through the use of third-party FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules within its appliances, rather than through an independently validated proprietary cryptographic module.
Keeper is FedRAMP High Certified and GovRAMP High Authorized, the highest level of federal and state government authorization, hosted on AWS GovCloud with U.S.-only data storage and a sequestered U.S. Persons-only support team.
Keeper is FIPS 140-3 validated, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certified, and supports ITAR and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
Based on publicly available information, BeyondTrust holds FedRAMP Moderate Certified Authorization and is not FedRAMP High or GovRAMP High Authorized.
BeyondTrust holds SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications for commercial enterprise deployments.
Keeper has never experienced a data breach. Keeper's zero-knowledge, zero-trust architecture means there is no central store of decryptable credentials for attackers to target. Even in the event of a server-level compromise, the data stored on Keeper's infrastructure is cryptographically inaccessible without the encryption keys that never leave the user's device.
BeyondTrust has faced a series of critical vulnerabilities in its remote access products. In December 2024, the Chinese state-sponsored group Silk Typhoon exploited a zero-day in BeyondTrust's platform to breach the U.S. Treasury.
In February 2026, a second critical pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-1731, CVSS 9.9) was disclosed in BeyondTrust Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access, was actively exploited in ransomware attacks and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Approximately 8,500 on-premises instances were exposed to the internet at the time of disclosure. BeyondTrust patched cloud customers automatically, but self-hosted customers required manual remediation.
Keeper deploys in three steps: provision users through Single Sign-On (SSO) and SCIM or Active Directory, set role-based policies and install a lightweight containerized gateway in target environments. The gateway is outbound-only and requires no inbound firewall changes, no dedicated servers and no on-premises infrastructure beyond the gateway itself.
Most organizations are fully operational within a day. No professional services are required, though they are available for complex migrations.
BeyondTrust supports both cloud and on-premises deployment. Cloud deployments have streamlined the setup process, but deploying the full BeyondTrust suite, particularly Password Safe alongside Privileged Remote Access, typically involves a multi-component installation, dedicated infrastructure and professional services engagements.
Keeper provides KeeperAI, an agentic AI engine embedded within KeeperPAM that monitors active privileged sessions in real time, analyzes keystroke logs and command execution, classifies behavior by risk level and automatically terminates sessions when a threat is detected.
Built on a Sovereign AI framework, each organization retains full data ownership with flexible on-premises or cloud LLM deployments, including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI and Anthropic.
BeyondTrust has introduced AI capabilities through its True Privilege™ graph, an AI-powered visualization of identity attack paths that helps security teams identify and prioritize hidden privilege escalation routes across human and non-human identities.
BeyondTrust has also announced an agentic AI solution for extending PAM controls to AI agents.
Keeper provides KeeperDB, a built-in database management interface inside the Keeper Vault. Privileged users can securely query and manage MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases without credentials touching a local device.
Every session runs inside Keeper Remote Browser Isolation, is fully recorded and is governed by centralized least-privilege policies with a complete audit trail from a single console.
Based on publicly available documentation, BeyondTrust supports database credential management through Password Safe, including credential vaulting, automated rotation and session management for database accounts.
BeyondTrust does not offer a native browser-based database management interface comparable to KeeperDB.
Keeper Secrets Manager is a fully cloud-based, zero-knowledge secrets management solution requiring no on-premises components. It secures API keys, SSH keys, certificates and CI/CD pipeline credentials with built-in automated rotation.
Keeper Secrets Manager integrates natively with Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions and Jenkins, supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI tool integrations and provides over 100 out-of-the-box DevOps integrations.
Based on publicly available documentation, BeyondTrust manages secrets through Password Safe, which includes credential vaulting, automated rotation and secrets management for infrastructure. Password Safe's approach is primarily vault-centric: credentials are pre-created, stored and rotated on a schedule or based on policy parameters, rather than generated dynamically on demand per session.
BeyondTrust offers integrations with DevOps tooling, including a Terraform provider, a GitHub Actions custom action and a Kubernetes sidecar integration, but these are focused on retrieving pre-stored secrets from the vault rather than generating ephemeral credentials at request time.
Keeper Enterprise Password Manager is designed for every user in the organization, not just IT administrators. Accessible via a web vault, desktop apps for Windows, Mac and Linux, mobile apps for iOS and Android and browser extensions for all major browsers, Keeper delivers a consistent, intuitive experience across every platform.
KeeperFill autofills passwords, passkeys and 2FA codes. BreachWatch® monitors the dark web for exposed credentials, and every enterprise user receives a free Keeper family plan.
BeyondTrust Password Safe and its Workforce Passwords feature have expanded to cover non-technical users, but the platform's design primarily prioritizes administrative control, auditing and privileged access.
BeyondTrust offers a Password Safe mobile app for iOS and Android that covers privileged credentials, secrets and Workforce Passwords, but it requires an existing enterprise Password Safe installation and administrator configuration before any user can access it.
Keeper's Advanced Reporting & Alerts Module (ARAM) tracks over 300 auditable events across the entire platform, including vault activity, privileged sessions, secrets access and policy changes, with real-time alerting and direct Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) integration into CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Security Operations and Splunk.
Keeper's Compliance Reporting module provides consolidated, audit-ready reports for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS and ISO 27001, all from the same console.
BeyondTrust offers reporting and auditing across its product suite, with SIEM integrations and session recording. The company has moved to address historical fragmentation through its Pathfinder platform, which provides a shared login and cross-product navigation across its SaaS products.
However, individual products retain their own reporting interfaces and separate data structures. PRA session data, for example, requires a dedicated integration client and its own database connection to surface in BeyondInsight.

KeeperPAM delivers a zero-knowledge architecture, quantum-resistant encryption, FedRAMP High Authorization and AI-powered threat detection, all in a single cloud-native platform that deploys in minutes, not months.
KeeperPAM bietet eine einheitliche Zero-Knowledge-Plattform, die im Vergleich zu den beiden separaten Produkten von BeyondTrust, die auf komplexen API-Integrationen basieren, einfacher zu implementieren und zu verwalten ist. Mit einer einzigen Schnittstelle, einer gemeinsam genutzten Infrastruktur und einer zentralisierten Richtlinienverwaltung vereinfacht Keeper die Verwaltung und verbessert die Transparenz. Es bietet vollständig integrierte Funktionen wie Secrets Management, Fernzugriff und Sitzungsüberwachung, sodass keine professionellen Dienste erforderlich sind. Keeper wurde für moderne, Cloud-First-Unternehmen entwickelt und bietet eine schnellere Bereitstellung, bessere Skalierbarkeit und eine nahtlosere Benutzererfahrung als BeyondTrust.
Keeper is also FedRAMP High Certified, while BeyondTrust holds FedRAMP Moderate. Keeper has implemented quantum-resistant encryption (CRYSTALS-Kyber); BeyondTrust has not. KeeperPAM deploys as a unified, cloud-native platform in minutes, without the professional services engagements and multi-component infrastructure that BeyondTrust deployments typically require.
KeeperPAM basiert auf einer Zero-Knowledge-Sicherheitsgrundlage, was bedeutet, dass nur der Endbenutzer auf seine Daten zugreifen und diese entschlüsseln kann – Keeper kann dies nicht. Diese Architektur ist entscheidend für den Schutz sensibler Anmeldeinformationen, Geheimnisse und Sitzungsdaten vor externen Bedrohungen und Insider-Risiken, was Keeper von BeyondTrust unterscheidet, das keine Zero-Knowledge-Verschlüsselung bietet. Während BeyondTrust seine PAM-Funktionen auf zwei separate Tools aufteilt – Password Safe und Privileged Remote Access – bietet Keeper eine einheitliche, Cloud-native Plattform mit integrierter Richtlinienverwaltung, Secrets Vaulting und sicherem Fernzugriff, die alle durch Zero-Knowledge-Verschlüsselung gesteuert werden. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass jede privilegierte Aktion, Sitzung und Berechtigung auf der tiefstmöglichen Ebene geschützt ist, ohne die Benutzerfreundlichkeit oder Leistung zu beeinträchtigen.
BeyondTrust does not use zero-knowledge encryption. Its centralized credential vault means BeyondTrust has technical access to stored data, and a compromised vault gives attackers simultaneous access to passwords, SSH keys and session tokens for an organization's most sensitive systems. This architectural difference is why BeyondTrust's platform has been a repeated target for state-sponsored threat actors, including the December 2024 U.S. Treasury breach attributed to the Chinese state-sponsored group Silk Typhoon and the February 2026 CVE-2026-1731 ransomware exploitation.
KeeperPAM eignet sich im Vergleich zu BeyondTrust aufgrund der einfachen Bereitstellung, Kosteneffizienz und Skalierbarkeit von Keeper besser für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen. Als Cloud-native, agentenlose Lösung macht KeeperPAM eine komplexe lokale Infrastruktur überflüssig, wodurch sie schneller implementiert und einfacher zu verwalten ist, ohne dass ein dediziertes IT-Team erforderlich ist. Im Gegensatz zu BeyondTrust, das oft zusätzliche Appliances und kostspielige Konfigurationen erfordert, bietet KeeperPAM einfache, sofort einsatzbereite Integrationen. KeeperPAM bietet wettbewerbsfähige Preise ohne versteckte Infrastrukturkosten, was niedrigere Gesamtbetriebskosten und eine schnellere Wertschöpfung im Vergleich zu den zusätzlichen Lizenz- und Wartungsgebühren von BeyondTrust gewährleistet.
BeyondTrust holds FedRAMP Moderate Certified Authorization. For agencies and contractors where FedRAMP High is a procurement requirement, Keeper is the choice.
KeeperPAM und BeyondTrust bieten beide privilegierte Speicherung und Sicherheit von Anmeldeinformationen, aber KeeperPAM bietet einen moderneren Zero-Trust- und Zero-Knowledge-Ansatz, während BeyondTrust auf ein veraltetes Tresor-basiertes System angewiesen ist, das eine zusätzliche Infrastruktur erfordert. KeeperPAM verschlüsselt Anmeldeinformationen lokal auf dem Gerät, bevor sie in der Cloud gespeichert werden, um Zero-Knowledge-Sicherheit zu gewährleisten. Es ermöglicht auch passwortlosen, agentenlosen Zugriff und lässt sich nahtlos in SSO, MFA und IdPs integrieren, ohne dass zusätzliche Geräte erforderlich sind.
BeyondTrust's remote access products have experienced a pattern of critical vulnerabilities. CVE-2026-1731, a pre-authentication remote code execution flaw with a CVSS score of 9.9, was disclosed in February 2026 and actively exploited in ransomware attacks within 24 hours of a proof-of-concept being published. This followed the December 2024 breach of the U.S. Treasury via a BeyondTrust zero-day. Approximately 8,500 on-premises instances were exposed to the internet at the time of the CVE-2026-1731 disclosure. BeyondTrust patched cloud instances automatically, but self-hosted customers required manual remediation.
KeeperPAM lässt sich aufgrund seiner Cloud-nativen Architektur, der einfachen Bereitstellung und der Flexibilität besser für die Anforderungen von Unternehmen skalieren. KeeperPAM wurde für die einfache Skalierung in Hybrid-, Multi-Cloud- und Remote-Umgebungen entwickelt, ohne die Komplexität älterer On-Premises-Infrastrukturen, wie z. B. zusätzliche Hardware oder übermäßige Konfiguration. Die nahtlose Integration von KeeperPAM mit Identity Providern (IdPs), SSO und MFA macht es anpassbar an Unternehmensumgebungen, die hochvolumige, automatisierte Workflows und eine schnelle Bereitstellung für große Teams erfordern.
BeyondTrust deployments, particularly when deploying Password Safe alongside Privileged Remote Access, typically involve a multi-component installation, dedicated infrastructure and professional services engagements. Complete migrations for larger enterprise environments have been documented to span several months. For organizations that need to be operational quickly or lack large dedicated IT teams for PAM administration, this difference in time to value is significant.
