Cybercriminals often target internal admin and DevOps credentials through phishing or malware. These privileged accounts provide direct access to critical systems, and once compromised, can allow cybercriminals to move freely within the environment, often without immediate detection.
Employees, contractors and partners with privileged access can pose serious security risks. Whether through carelessness or intentional misuse, these insiders can compromise systems, expose sensitive data and disrupt operations, especially in environments where privileged access is not tightly controlled or monitored.
Over-privileged accounts and misconfigured roles are common issues in SaaS environments. Employees are often granted broader access than necessary, increasing the potential impact if an account is misused. Without strict enforcement of least-privilege principles, users can gain unnecessary access to sensitive systems.
Many SaaS organisations struggle to manage credentials securely across their DevOps environments. Secrets are frequently embedded in scripts, configuration files or code repositories like GitHub, where they can be exposed during development or deployment. These practices create unnecessary risk and leave critical systems vulnerable to misuse or compromise.
Without real-time oversight, privileged account misuse can escalate quickly and remain unnoticed until serious damage occurs. Inadequate auditing, lack of behavior analytics or missing alerts tied to privileged activity can make it difficult to detect anomalies or unauthorised actions. These visibility gaps leave room for cybercriminals or insiders to exploit elevated access.
SaaS companies often rely on external developers, consultants and integration partners who require temporary or limited access to internal systems. Without granular access controls and session monitoring, third-party access creates a major security gap. These external users can retain more access than needed or longer than intended, increasing the risk of misuse or compromise.
KeeperPAM prevents credential theft by ensuring that users never directly access or view privileged credentials during a session. Instead of exposing usernames, passwords or SSH keys, Keeper establishes secure, encrypted sessions through its zero-trust gateway. This setup creates credential-less access pathways to critical infrastructure, rendering phishing and malware attacks ineffective. KeeperPAM also supports automatic credential rotation after access is revoked, eliminating static secrets that cybercriminals often target.
To mitigate the risk of insider threats, KeeperPAM enables comprehensive monitoring and auditing of all privileged activities. Every session can be recorded, capturing both screen and keystroke data, and logs can be streamed to Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms for further analysis. Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) ensure users can only access what their role permits, while the Admin Console provides visibility into who accessed what, when and how.
Over-privileged users pose serious security threats. KeeperPAM solves this by enforcing Just-In-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough-Privilege (JEP) access models. Access is granted only for the duration and scope necessary to perform a task, and all standing privileges are eliminated through automated provisioning and deprovisioning. This reduces the attack surface and ensures employees never retain more access than needed.
Keeper's Endpoint Privilege Manager, an agent-based add-on, enforces least-privilege policies directly on user endpoints, including Windows, macOS and Linux systems. It enables just-in-time elevation of privileges for specific tasks such as running administrative commands or installing software, without granting persistent admin rights. This gives organisations granular control over which applications and processes users can elevate and when.
KeeperPAM addresses poor secrets management by centralising storage and access through a zero-knowledge secrets vault. Credentials, API keys and other secrets can be securely managed and rotated on demand or via schedule. KeeperPAM integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tools, ensuring secrets are never hard-coded into scripts or exposed in repositories.
Visibility gaps around privileged accounts can lead to undetected breaches. KeeperPAM eliminates these blind spots through end-to-end session monitoring, detailed audit logs and real-time risk telemetry. Every session, whether SSH, RDP, browser-based or database, is recorded and available for review. These records can be sent to platforms like Splunk, Datadog and Azure Sentinel, providing SOC teams with the data they need to detect anomalies, investigate incidents and meet compliance requirements.
Third-party contractors and partners often require temporary access to internal systems. KeeperPAM enables organisations to grant time-limited, credential-free access to external users without compromising security. Access can be provisioned through the Keeper Vault and automatically revoked based on policy. Sessions are fully auditable, ensuring that external activity is tracked and reviewed.
