Modern IT environments span on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure, and every new asset added needs to be discovered, evaluated and brought under access control. Discovery tools can surface those resources, but without automation, processing them is slow, inconsistent and prone to error. Critical assets get missed, and security gaps open.

Keeper Security has once again been recognized by the German technology publication connect professional. In its latest independent test, Keeper Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) received a “good” (GUT) rating, highlighting the platform’s strong capabilities for securing and managing endpoint privileges.

SaaS sprawl means more credentials, more exposure and more manual work for IT teams. Every cloud service an organization adds is another set of passwords that needs to be created, managed and eventually rotated, and most teams are still doing that by hand. SaaS Configuration gives organizations a scalable way to automate password rotation across any number of Privileged Access Management (PAM) User records in the Keeper Vault, keeping credentials current without the manual overhead.

Imagine a customer service representative at your organization uploads sensitive customer data into an AI tool to draft emails more quickly. When an employee uses an AI tool without IT approval, it is known as shadow AI, and such scenarios are becoming increasingly common. Among employees who use AI at work, 78% report using tools that have not been formally approved by their organization, according to Microsoft’s 2024 Work Trend Index.

In 2026, the public sector continues to face numerous cyber attacks, with data breaches often exposing sensitive information, disrupting essential services and undermining public trust. From municipal governments to federal agencies, public sector organizations of all sizes face challenges from threat actors exploiting outdated systems, human error and expanding digital footprints. These incidents are more than isolated security failures.

New research shows Microsoft Edge loads all saved passwords into memory in plain text, and Keeper Forcefield is built to protect against exactly this kind of vulnerability. A security researcher recently published a working tool called EdgeSavedPasswordsDumper that extracts credentials stored in Edge directly from the browser’s parent process memory. There is no exploit needed, just sufficient system privileges.

Employees are adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to enhance their productivity, but they rarely consider the security implications of doing so. When an employee pastes sensitive customer data into an unapproved AI tool, that data is processed by a third-party model outside the organization’s control, often leaving no audit trail for security teams to review.

Zero trust is a cybersecurity framework built on the principle of “never trust, always verify,” meaning every user, device and session must be continuously verified for access to be granted and maintained. In federal environments, zero trust is especially critical because privileged accounts can provide access to sensitive systems, infrastructure and data.

Financial institutions rely heavily on third-party vendors like payment processors, banking platform providers and fintech integrations to maintain operational efficiency. In fact, according to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, 30% of data breaches involved a third party, including vendors with direct remote access to financial systems. As environments become more distributed and accommodate remote work, managing vendor access has become a modern security challenge.

Ransomware and stolen credentials are among the most common and harmful attack vectors targeting financial institutions. Since banking systems store valuable financial assets and sensitive customer data, organizations must demonstrate strict control and oversight of privileged access to support regulatory and audit expectations under frameworks such as SOX, PCI DSS and GLBA.
