Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) helps add an extra layer of security to accounts, but it’s important to understand that not all MFA methods are created equal in terms of ease of use and security. In this blog, we’ll go over the different types of MFA methods, along with the pros and cons of each.

When deciding between an on-premises or cloud-based Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, a cloud-based PAM solution is recommended because it is easier to manage, highly scalable and cost-effective. Continue reading to learn more about the differences between on-prem and cloud PAM, the pros and cons of each and the important factors to consider when choosing the right solution for your organization.

As cyber threats continue to evolve, addressing cybersecurity challenges is more urgent than ever. Traditional passwords, long considered foundational to digital security, are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated attacks like phishing and credential stuffing. With cybercriminals becoming more adept, businesses need more secure and reliable authentication methods. Enter passkeys – an innovative step forward in authentication technology.

Depending on the size of your organization, its needs, industry regulations and security risks, how often you review privileged access can vary. However, a best practice for most organizations is to review privileged access quarterly to maintain a strong security posture. Continue reading to learn more about the importance of reviewing privileged access regularly, best practices and how KeeperPAM streamlines privileged access reviews.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) fits into a zero-trust strategy by strictly controlling access and monitoring privileged accounts, aligning with the zero-trust principle that users and devices should not be trusted by default. PAM ensures that privileged access is granted based on the principle of least privilege, continuous authentication and ongoing monitoring and auditing, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or privilege escalation.

Securing privileged accounts with FIDO2 security keys is the best way to protect them from internal and external threats because they offer enhanced security and convenience compared to traditional authentication methods. Continue reading to learn more about why traditional methods are insufficient for protecting privileged accounts, how FIDO2 enhances security and the benefits of using FIDO2 for privileged accounts.

According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, the average cost of a single data breach reached an all-time high of $4.88 million last year, driven by increased revenue loss, operational downtime, customer churn and regulatory fines, among other factors. As frequent targets of cybercriminals, finance services companies face especially high risks – and the consequences of a successful breach can be particularly damaging from both reputational and compliance perspectives.

While many organizations focus on mitigating external cyber threats, insider threats can target privileged accounts with elevated access to sensitive data or systems. Based on Cybersecurity Insiders’ Insider Threat Report, 83% of organizations suffered at least one insider attack in 2024.
