How To Protect Your Organization From Targeted Attacks

A targeted attack is a complex cyber attack tailored to specific organizations or employees. The best way to protect your organization from targeted attacks is to reduce its attack surface, invest in a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, create an incident response plan and educate employees on cybersecurity best practices. Continue reading to learn what makes targeted attacks dangerous and how your organization can protect against them.

Seven Best Practices for Privileged Access Management

Privileged Access Management (PAM) protects an organization’s most critical systems and accounts from unauthorized access, making it important to have a good PAM strategy in place. Some of the best practices to develop a good PAM strategy include implementing least privilege access, monitoring privileged accounts, adopting password security best practices, requiring multi-factor authentication and auditing privileges regularly.

Eight Common Attack Vectors Organizations Need To Be Aware Of

An attack vector, also known as a threat vector, is a way for cybercriminals to gain access to an organization’s network or system. Some common types of attack vectors that organizations need to defend against include weak and compromised credentials, social engineering attacks, insider threats, unpatched software, lack of encryption and misconfigurations. Organizations must identify all of the potential attack vectors and protect their network against them to avoid security breaches.

How To Securely Manage Database Access for Remote Users

The best way to securely manage database access for remote users is by using a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution. PAM solutions provide full visibility and control over database access to prevent privilege misuse, reducing the likelihood of an insider threat harming your organization.

Introducing Time-Limited Access

As an enhancement to Keeper’s secure sharing capabilities, Time-Limited Access allows you to securely share credentials or secrets with other Keeper users on a temporary basis, automatically revoking access at a specified time. Time-Limited Access prevents long standing privileges and ensures that information is removed from the recipient’s vault, greatly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Time-Limited Access brings several key benefits to users and administrators.

How KeeperFill Protects You From Spoofing Attacks

Spoofing attacks are a common cyber attack that tricks people into revealing their login credentials by pretending to be a legitimate business website. Password managers, like Keeper Password Manager, have an autofill feature that can help protect against this type of attack. If you land on a spoofed website, Keeper’s autofill feature, KeeperFill®, will not fill in your login credentials if the URL stored in your password vault does not match the website you’re on.

Passkey Support Across KeeperFill, iOS and Android

Keeper is excited to announce that it now supports passkeys for mobile platforms on iOS and Android. This update extends passkey management functionality in the Keeper Vault beyond our earlier launch of Keeper browser extension support for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave and Safari. A passkey is a cryptographic key that lets users log in to accounts without having to enter a password. Passkeys have seen rapid adoption since their introduction in 2022 and Keeper is proud to enable their use across devices, bringing users a more secure and streamlined authentication experience.
