CHICAGO, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software protecting passwords and passkeys, infrastructure secrets, remote connections and endpoints, reflects on 2025 as a year of meaningful growth. Amid an increase in credential-based attacks, rapid AI adoption and the operational demands of hybrid environments, Keeper strengthened its Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform, expanded its global footprint and conducted industry research that shaped how organizations approach identity-first defense.
“This year’s results show how hard our global team works and how much trust the thousands of organizations that rely on Keeper to protect their most sensitive systems and data have in us,” stated Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “We’re proud of what we’ve done together and very thankful to our customers, partners, and employees for helping Keeper become a leader in identity and access management.”
A Change for Privileged Access
Keeper’s first appearance in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management was one of the most important events of the year. The award was in line with the development of KeeperPAM, which combined enterprise password management, secrets management, connection management, zero-trust network access, remote browser isolation, and endpoint privilege restrictions into a single, cloud-native platform.
Companies all across the world have started using KeeperPAM to modernize privileged access with zero-trust and zero-knowledge security that isn’t as complicated as older PAM products. Keeper was adding new, cutting-edge features to its platform all year long. Endpoint Privilege Manager lets you raise your privileges exactly when you need them, which lowers the dangers that come with having local admin permissions. Keeper Forcefield is the only device of its sort in the industry that defends Windows computers from attacks that use memory.
KeeperAI, which is built on a Sovereign AI framework, also gave users more visibility and control over privileged sessions. It does this by allowing real-time, agentic AI threat detection and response, which makes sure that high-risk sessions are automatically ended and all user activity is analyzed and categorized. Keeper Secrets Manager added support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as teams started to use AI in their operational and development operations. With Keeper’s integration, clients’ third-party AI tools, such local or cloud-based assistants, can safely access or manage secrets stored in their vault without putting Keeper’s zero-knowledge security architecture at risk.
Keeper’s continual dedication to balancing usability with continuous security upgrades was shown in platform developments including bidirectional One-Time Share, better biometric login with passkeys, a WearOS smartwatch app, QR-code WiFi records, and improvements to mobile and vault experiences. Keeper also made integrations across the cybersecurity ecosystem even stronger. For example, it made new connections with CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, Google Security Operations, and Microsoft Sentinel. This helped businesses add privileged access telemetry to their larger detection and response workflows. Getting FIPS 140-3 validation for its cryptographic module showed that the company was still committed to strong encryption.
Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security, remarked, “2025 was a key year for our engineering teams as we made progress on our unified privileged access platform and added features that clearly make our customers’ defenses stronger.” “We brought real-time threat detection right into privileged meetings using KeeperAI. We added more protection to endpoints, updated secure connections, and kept making secrets management and zero-trust access stronger across the platform. Focused, disciplined engineering and frequent feedback from customers have led to these advances. We designed our PAM platform to be quick, scalable, and safe from the start, and we’re only getting started.
Growth and recognition around the world
Keeper’s platform changes led to a lot of growth around the world. The corporation has more than four million paying customers, with a lot of them coming from North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Japan saw the most growth, with Keeper tripling its yearly recurring revenue and expanding into finance, telecommunications, manufacturing, and the public sector.
Through its improved Partner Program, Keeper extended its global distribution network by adding new reseller and distributor ties in the US, Canada, France, Spain, Singapore, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The company also made its presence known in the public sector by getting on the CISA Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Approved Product List, joining the Secure by Design Pledge, and hiring experienced security leaders like Chief Information Security Officer Shane Barney, Federal Advisory Board member David Epperson, and Chief Revenue Officer Tim Strickland.
Throughout the year, industry experts and award programs recognized Keeper’s work in product innovation, identity security, and research. Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) also praised Keeper for how easy it is to set up, its architecture, and how happy customers are with it. For the fourth year in a row, GigaOm called Keeper the Overall Leader in its Password Management Radar Report. KuppingerCole also designated Keeper the Overall Leader in its 2025 Leadership Compass Report for Non-Human Identity Management. Newsweek, CHIP (DE), and Connect Professional all gave Keeper awards for being a good product for consumers. The Computing Security Awards, Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, Fortress Cybersecurity Awards, Global InfoSec Awards, and the Globee Awards also gave Keeper awards.
Industry research gives us data-driven insights:
Keeper keeps putting money into research that looks at the problems and reality that modern security teams face. Keeper’s paper “Navigating a Hybrid Authentication Landscape” looked at how businesses are dealing with passwords, passkeys, and hybrid identity settings as authentication technologies change. Securing Privileged Access: The Key to Modern Enterprise Defense explained the reasons and problems that come with expanding PAM programs, such as moving to the cloud, becoming more mature as a business, and how privileged access affects total risk. Identity, AI, and Zero Trust: Cybersecurity Perspectives from Infosecurity Europe, Black Hat USA, and it-sa Expo&Congress got their ideas directly from security experts at three major industry trade shows. This gave them a view from multiple regions of how identity and AI are changing the next phase of security strategy.
The AI in Schools: Balancing Adoption With Risk study, done for Keeper’s Flex Your Cyber project, gave important information on how schools are handling AI cybersecurity in the classroom. It showed that there are worrying gaps in access controls and security awareness. The goal of the public service program is to help students, families, and teachers learn about cybersecurity. It gives communities easy-to-use tools to deal with new digital threats and improve basic security habits. This is in line with Keeper’s larger goal of improving identity security in both business and consumer settings.
Identity Security Around the World
Keeper’s cooperation with Atlassian Williams Racing helped keep identification safe in high-performance contexts where data integrity and quick decision-making are very important. This year, Keeper and Williams renewed their multi-year partnership, which shows that they are both committed to keeping the data, systems, and competitive insights that underpin modern Formula 1 operations safe.
To show how real the relationship was, the team used KeeperPAM to protect sensitive technical and performance data in both trackside and distributed locations. This helped protect the important systems that racing engineers, strategists, and support teams depend on. Co-branded content featuring drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon, Team Principal James Vowles, and Keeper CTO and Co-founder Craig Lurey was released throughout the season. It helped make identity security ideas approachable and interesting to a global Formula 1 audience.
Keeper was happy to help the team through a great season. Atlassian Williams Racing came in fifth place in the Constructors’ Championship in 2025, which was a big stride forward for the team as they got back on track. The two podium finishes, with Albon and Sainz finishing eighth and ninth in the Drivers’ Championship, respectively, show that the team kept up its good work and momentum all year long.
Looking forward to the next year
Keeper is focused on helping businesses protect every user, device, and connection through a single, zero-trust, and zero-knowledge vault as they enter 2026. After a year of meaningful innovation, global growth, and more research, the company will keep making AI-driven capabilities better, making privileged access controls stronger, and helping customers as identity security becomes more important to people and businesses all over the world.
Guccione stated, “As we look ahead to 2026, we will continue to work toward zero-trust cybersecurity and giving organizations the tools they need to protect themselves against modern threats.” “Identity is at the center of every attack surface, and Keeper will do everything we can to protect it.” We will keep adding new features that make privileged access stronger, make security easier for users and teams, and provide our customers peace of mind as cyber threats become more common and complex, thanks to the power of AI.
