Keeper’s easy-to-use cybersecurity solutions are built on a foundation of zero-trust and zero-knowledge security to protect every user on every device, while meeting the most stringent government security and compliance requirements.
“We’ve seen time and again that secrets sprawl and hardcoded credentials pose serious threats to organizations of all sizes, from small business to large government agencies,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “Keeper Security’s recognition by KuppingerCole sends a clear message that our solution dramatically reduces the risks of secrets compromise that lead to breaches.”

KSM is a fully-managed, cloud-based, zero-knowledge platform for securing infrastructure secrets such as API keys, database passwords, access keys, certificates and any type of confidential data. Proper IT secrets management is essential to protecting your organization from cyberthreats, but despite the critical importance of secrets management, Keeper’s 2022 Cybersecurity Census Report found nearly one-third of organizations (32%) lack a dedicated solution to protect their secrets. Additionally, an astounding 84% have concerns regarding risks associated with hardcoded credentials in source code – and 25% don’t have software in place to remove them.
KSM consolidates secrets in a unified platform and eliminates secrets sprawl by removing hard-coded credentials from source code, config files and CI/CD systems. The solution provides visibility and control over an organization’s data environment, security and auditing. It provides out-of-the-box integration with all popular CI/CD platforms and developer SDKs are available for all popular programming languages. Available as part of the KeeperPAM platform, KSM is embedded into the Web Vault, Admin Console and Desktop App. It also offers further integrations into Keeper’s Advanced Reporting and Alerts module, BreachWatch dark web monitoring tool, SIEM integration, webhooks and compliance solutions.
