The Ovum Market Radar: Password Management Tools examines the current password management landscape, analyzes top vendors and provides advice for enterprises considering, selecting and deploying a password management solution. 

According to the report, password management tools need to be at the top of any organization's cybersecurity agenda since 80% of major breaches can be traced back to a single compromised identity. Of the top 12 vendors profiled in the report, Keeper is recognized as one of the most popular products used by businesses.

"We're pleased with the depth of the report regarding the rapidly-growing, password management industry given the essential need to protect businesses of all sizes against password-related data breaches."

• feature multi-factor authentication mechanisms;
• have relevant certifications such as ISO 27001 for information security management; and 
• support the FIDO Alliance, which is an influential industry association working to promote authentication standards that reduce reliance on passwords stored on third-party servers.
