1. Technology overview
Keeper Security, co-founded by Darren Guccione and Craig Lurey and headquartered in Chicago, builds zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security software. The company reports protecting more than 100,000 organizations in over 150 countries and runs a sales office in Tokyo for the Asia-Pacific region. KeeperPAM addresses the risk of stolen privileged credentials and standing admin rights across servers, databases, web apps and cloud workloads.
KeeperPAM is a cloud-native platform in which a lightweight Keeper Gateway in each cloud or on-premises network needs only an outbound connection, so no inbound firewall rules or VPN are required. It combines an enterprise password vault, Keeper Secrets Manager for DevOps and service account rotation, browser-based SSH, RDP, VNC and database sessions with recording, remote browser isolation, an Endpoint Privilege Manager for just-in-time elevation on Windows, macOS and Linux, and KeeperAI, which analyzes privileged sessions and can terminate risky ones. Users never see the credentials injected into sessions.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Enterprise password vault: Stores passwords, passkeys and files in a zero-knowledge vault with role-based access.
- Secrets management: Manages CI/CD secrets and rotates service account passwords automatically.
- Connection management: Opens recorded SSH, RDP, VNC, HTTPS and database sessions from the browser.
- Remote browser isolation: Protects access to internal and cloud web apps, including from BYOD devices.
- Endpoint Privilege Manager: Grants just-in-time admin rights with approvals and MFA.
- KeeperAI: Monitors privileged sessions, scores risk and terminates suspicious activity.
3. Potential application
A Vietnamese securities company can give IT staff recorded, credential-free access to trading servers through the browser. A software house can store CI/CD secrets in Keeper Secrets Manager instead of code repositories. A hospital group can remove local admin rights from workstations and grant elevation on request.
4. Benefits
One platform replaces separate password managers, secrets vaults, jump servers and endpoint privilege tools. Keeper states KeeperAI cuts threat detection time by 99% with automated response across all privileged sessions. Gateway-based deployment avoids inbound firewall changes and VPNs. Just-in-time, approval-based access removes standing privileges that attackers exploit.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Identity has become the main attack surface, and organizations are consolidating password, secrets and privileged access tools into one platform. In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, mid-sized enterprises often lack the budget and staff for complex legacy PAM, increasing demand for cloud-delivered PAM that can be rolled out quickly across hybrid infrastructure.
6. Other information
Keeper Security's global headquarters is in Chicago, with offices in El Dorado Hills (California), Cork (Ireland) and Tokyo (Japan). Co-founders Darren Guccione (CEO) and Craig Lurey (CTO); strategic investors Insight Partners and Summit Partners. KeeperPAM is FedRAMP High and GovRAMP authorized. Gartner ranked Keeper the second fastest-growing security software vendor in 2025, and the company reports more than 240 million USD ARR.
