Keeper Protects From Stolen Credentials With Secure Time-Limited Access

The security concept known as “Privilege Creep” occurs when an individual accumulates access rights over time, retaining entry to systems and data beyond the completion of a specific task or the need for such access. This gradual accumulation of unnecessary privileges within an organization not only complicates the management of access rights but also magnifies the potential for security breaches, data theft and misuse of information.

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

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.

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.
