Keeper Security Retrospective: Reflecting On a Groundbreaking Year in 2024

In 2024, Keeper Security advanced with new products, a Williams Racing partnership and industry recognition, cementing its leadership in cybersecurity

CHICAGO, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge privileged access management cloud software, is celebrating a transformative 2024 with advancements in product innovation, global expansion and industry leadership. As the year draws to a close, Keeper® reflects on its accomplishments and looks ahead to continued innovation and excellence in 2025.

"2024 was a transformative year marked by innovation and measurable impact," said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. "Our commitment to delivering enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions enabled us to address the complex and evolving challenges faced by organizations and individuals globally."

Product Innovation: Raising the Bar for Cybersecurity

Keeper introduced an array of product enhancements and new solutions in 2024:

• Keeper introduced passkey support on mobile devices, and autofill has been streamlined for both iOS and Android this year, along with the release of dark mode for Android.
• Keeper's Passphrase Generator is a new option within the existing password generator. Users and admins can choose which generator to use or enforce for their organization.
• Remote Browser Isolation via Keeper Connection Manager provides secure, VPN-less access to websites and cloud-based SaaS applications in an audited environment with full end-to-end encryption.
• Keeper's Risk Management Dashboard delivers a streamlined view within the Keeper Admin Console, giving administrators quick and easy visibility into their organization's Keeper configuration practices and compliance posture.
• Time-Limited Access allows you to securely share credentials with other Keeper users, automatically revoking access at a specified time. Self-Destructing Records allow users to one-time share records with anyone, even if they're not a Keeper user. After the recipient opens the shared record, it deletes itself from the sender's vault.
• Granular Sharing Enforcements enable administrators to apply detailed restrictions for record creation and sharing according to user roles.
• The user interface has been refreshed across the browser extension, Admin Console, mobile app and web vault. Usability continues to be a core focus for Keeper, ensuring both technical and non-technical users can seamlessly integrate Keeper into their daily workflows.
• In the Admin Console, new password and passphrase policies were introduced, allowing for expanded role policies to accommodate the password generator improvements and release of the new passphrase generator.

"These advancements reflect our focus on making robust security both simple and accessible for our users," said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder, Keeper Security. "In 2024, we placed a strong emphasis on emerging technologies like AI and passwordless authentication to meet the evolving cybersecurity needs of businesses. Looking ahead, we are excited to keep innovating, particularly with our ground-breaking privileged access management solution, and providing zero-trust solutions that empower businesses to protect their most valuable assets."

Partnership with Williams Racing

In 2024, Keeper Security became the Official Cybersecurity Partner of Formula 1's Williams Racing, blending high-performance technology with elite motorsport. This partnership included prominent branding on the FW46's steering wheel, halo, suspension arms and bargeboard, as well as special limited-edition Keeper branding on the engine cover and front wing, along with driver events and fan activations at Grand Prix races worldwide.

"Our collaboration with Williams Racing symbolizes the synergy between precision engineering in racing and cybersecurity," said Guccione. "Both fields demand speed, reliability and a commitment to staying ahead of the competition."

The Keeper and Williams Racing partnership extended beyond the track, with the team integrating Keeper's cybersecurity solutions into its global operations. This includes protecting the vast amounts of sensitive data generated during each race weekend, from race strategies to performance metrics. The collaboration is showcased in this case study, which demonstrates how Keeper's zero-trust solutions have enhanced Williams Racing's ability to securely manage critical data and maintain operational efficiency in the high-stakes world of Formula 1.

"We need data," said James Vowles, Team Principal, Williams Racing. "We need cybersecurity. We need IT infrastructure. And we need the ability for people to work in a safe environment. And that's irrespective of whether they are here in the United Kingdom or anywhere else in the world."

Global Growth and Leadership

Further solidifying its position as a trusted cybersecurity leader, Keeper joined the AWS Partner Network and achieved FedRAMP Rev 5 compliance, ensuring its solutions meet the highest standards of security for governments and organizations around the world. Keeper also strengthened its leadership team with strategic hires, including James Scobey as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO); Rick Geehan as Senior Vice President of Sales, Americas; Takanori Nishiyama as Senior Vice President of APAC Sales and Country Leader, Japan; and Paul Aronhime as Senior Vice President of Federal.
