Keeper Security, Inc. | January 11, 2024

Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software protecting passwords, passkeys, privileged access, secrets and remote connections, announces Granular Sharing Enforcements will soon be available for all products in the Keeper® platform. Granular Sharing enables administrators to enforce detailed creating and sharing permissions at the user level. By implementing these permissions, organizations can ensure employees only have access to the resources necessary for their roles, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches and lateral movement within a network. "It's critical for organizations to have security solutions that help them adhere to increasing regulations and compliance requirements," said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. "Granular permission control helps organizations enhance their security posture by restricting access to sensitive information and systems. With Granular Sharing Enforcements, it's easier than ever for IT administrators to better control the principle of least privilege and streamline operations within their organizations." Keeper's added Granular Sharing Enforcement policies provide more detailed restrictions that administrators can apply to users for both creating and sharing records. Most employees do not need access to all of the data or functionalities within an organization, and many industries and geographical regions have specific regulations and compliance requirements regarding data protection and privacy, including HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS and SOX. Granular permission controls enable organizations to align with local and industry regulations by allowing them to define and enforce access policies. This helps in ensuring the organization is compliant with industry standards and legal requirements. Key features of Keeper's Granular Sharing Enforcements include: Auditing: Keeper provides clear alerting and reporting on over 100 different event types. Version control: Only a small subset of users have permissions to update or share records, helping teams ensure information is consistent and accurate. Seamless access on any device: Keeper provides the same user experience across platforms, ensuring cross functionality and ease of use, whether on web, desktop or mobile. Encryption: Keeper provides secure sharing with elliptic curve encryption, ensuring cybercriminals cannot intercept passwords or other shared records in transit. Keeper Administrators can easily customize permissions to best suit the compliance needs of their organization. Administrators modify permissions in the Enforcement Policies section of the Admin Console for the chosen role by selecting Creating and Sharing. Most permissions are activated by default for maximum security. Enforcements have been designed to be simple and powerful, allowing admins to choose the appropriate settings for their unique needs. Granular Sharing Enforcements will be available for all sharing needs within Keeper's Enterprise Password Manager, Keeper Secrets Manager and KeeperPAM. With Keeper's zero-knowledge password management and security platform, IT administrators have complete visibility into employee password practices, enabling them to monitor password use and enforce password security policies, including strong, unique passwords, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and other security policies. Keeper Secrets Manager® 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. Its latest offering, KeeperPAM™, provides next-generation Privileged Access Management (PAM) that is disrupting the traditional PAM market. KeeperPAM delivers enterprise-grade password, secrets and privileged connection management within a unified SaaS platform that is cost-effective, easy to use and simple to deploy. KeeperPAM enables least-privilege access with zero-trust and zero-knowledge security. Enterprises select Keeper because of its strong security architecture, ability to support federated and passwordless authentication with any identity provider, seamless integration into on-premises, cloud or hybrid environments and ease of use across desktop and mobile devices.

At Microsoft, we are privileged to have a leading role in advancing AI innovation, and we are so grateful to our incredible ecosystem of partners, whose mission-driven work is critical to helping customers secure their organizations and confidently bring the many benefits of AI into their environments,” said Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Security.

Deepwatch | January 09, 2024

Deepwatch, the leading managed security platform for the cyber resilient enterprise, today announced the launch of Threat Signal, its standalone forensic-focused operations service. Deepwatch designed Threat Signal to enhance companies’ cybersecurity defenses, proactively identify and help mitigate attack vectors, and stay ahead of evolving risks to strengthen cyber resilience. Threat Signal provides protection beyond traditional security measures, finding advanced cyber threats that have bypassed existing controls by leveraging the latest attacker methodologies to stay in tune with the constantly evolving threat landscape. Using an “outside-in” methodology, Threat Signal evaluates an organization’s externally accessible presence from an attacker’s perspective to pinpoint and investigate risky systems and services. This informs the initial investigation and allows Deepwatch Experts to leverage advanced capabilities through organic intelligence, deep forensics, and threat hunting. According to Forrester’s “How to Make Threat Intelligence Actionable” report¹, “Over time, companies need to move beyond tactical use cases. Threat hunting can uncover threats that have bypassed traditional security tools, allowing companies to stop attacks earlier to minimize disruptions. As Forrester’s Threat Hunting 101 report describes, threat intelligence is vital because it provides insights into the TTPs of threat actors and details on how malware behaves. If time, expertise, and resources are constrained, consider leveraging an external service provider to conduct the threat-hunting exercise as an annual consulting engagement.” Threat Signal provides tailored and proactive security measures through customer-specific intelligence that takes an organization's unique attack surface, business risks, and the latest adversary intelligence or "threat cases" into account. Threat Signal’s additional features and capabilities include: Deepwatch Experts - Seasoned forensic security experts perform in-depth investigations, identifying threats before they disrupt an organization. Attack Surface Profiles - These profiles provide a customer actionable report, detailing external opportunity areas that an attacker could leverage against an organization, including high-risk opportunities, mitigation recommendations, and threat hunting leads. Forensic-Agent-Based Threat Hunting Engagements - Deepwatch’s specialists consistently engage in hunting activities to reveal concealed threats within a company’s infrastructure and provide a threat hunt summary report with detailed observations and any actions that the customer took during that hunt cycle. Reporting and Reviews - Deepwatch provides customers with reports, including: Weekly intelligence brief reports on analyzed open-source intelligence with Deepwatch recommendations. Summary presentations on the solution engagement status, including but not limited to hunting reports. Up to two executive reviews of the solution and observables per year. Ad-hoc awareness briefs of security advisories based on Deepwatch threat criteria. Annual intelligence reports on incident lessons learned and predictions. Malware Analysis - Deepwatch’s Adversary Tactics and Intelligence (ATI) team analyze collected malware and provide a report. Enhanced Security - Deepwatch’s MDR customers benefit from cross-collaborative security operations, harnessing advanced threat detection, and hyper-responsive capabilities. “As security professionals, we look to enhance a company’s security readiness. To do that, it’s critical for them to look beyond their existing security controls to ensure they are identifying and proactively protecting the business from external threats,” said Jerrod Barton, VP, Cyber Operations & Intelligence for Deepwatch. “With Threat Signal, we’re able to help our enterprise customers view their security readiness through the lens of the ‘attackers,’ ensuring that they can rapidly respond to any incoming threats, which in turn helps them elevate their cyber resilience.” About Deepwatch Deepwatch is the leading managed security platform for the cyber resilient enterprise. The Deepwatch Managed Security Platform and security experts provide enterprises with 24/7/365 cyber resilience, rapid detections, high fidelity alerts, reduced false positives, and automated actions. We operate as an extension of cybersecurity teams by delivering exceptional security expertise, visibility across your attack surface, precision response to threats, and a compelling return on your security investments.
