Keeper Security

With the recent diversification and sophistication of cyber-attacks, the importance of managing authentication information has never been greater. In particular, the reuse of passwords and improper use of privileged IDs have become major risk factors for information leaks and internal fraud.

To address these issues, we are now offering Keeper Security's cybersecurity products, based on the globally acclaimed Zero Trust and Zero Knowledge security architecture.

Keeper offers a SaaS-type service that unifies a business password manager and KeeperPAM (privileged access management) on a single platform based on a zero-trust and zero-knowledge encryption model. This security model encrypts and decrypts user data at the device level, and by using vaults (vaults) that can only be accessed by the user him/herself, it protects authentication information related to the user such as passwords and certificates from the threat of unauthorized access, while also reducing the burden of password and privilege ID management and operation. Keeper also reduces the burden of managing and operating passwords and privileged IDs.
