Looking ahead to next year, major technology providers are adopting stronger, phishing-resistant authentication methods. Among them is Microsoft, which is phasing out its native SMS and voice authentication services in favor of more secure alternatives, including passkeys, beginning February 1, 2027. The change will initially affect most Microsoft Entra ID users, then extend to Global Administrators and external users on July 1, 2027.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) helps small businesses control, monitor and secure access to sensitive systems, administrator accounts and business-critical applications. It reduces the risk of credential theft, excessive permissions and unauthorized access, without requiring a large IT or security team. Small businesses are now one of the most targeted groups by cybercriminals. Attackers know that SMBs often run on lean IT teams, shared credentials and minimal oversight of who can access what.

Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security platform, today announces it now protects more than 100,000 organizations globally. Keeper’s customer growth builds on consistent company milestones including surpassing $240 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and also earning recognition from Gartner as the second fastest-growing competitor in the worldwide security software market in 2025.

Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security and Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform, today announces a Freshservice Workflow integration that connects vault and privileged access requests to the ticketing systems IT and security teams already use. The integration lets agents fulfill Keeper vault access and approval requests – including Endpoint Privilege Manager and Cloud SSO device approvals – directly from a Freshservice ticket.

Launched in June, Keeper Privileged Cloud has delivered just-in-time, zero-standing privilege access across cloud platforms, identity providers and federated applications – including AWS IAM, Microsoft Entra ID, GCP, Okta and Active Directory. Rather than relying on shared privileged credentials, it grants temporary elevated access by modifying a user’s identity-layer membership or role assignment for an approved, time-bound window.

MSPs rarely inherit a clean slate. Whether onboarding a new client or expanding services within an existing account, providers often step into environments shaped by years of identity and access decisions made long before they became involved. Former employees may still have active accounts. Temporary administrator privileges may have quietly become permanent. Shared credentials can persist because replacing them would disrupt established workflows.

Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security platform, today announces a new integration that brings approval workflow management and secure credential access directly into Google Chat, extending zero-trust identity governance to Google Workspace environments.

Malicious cyber activity targeted remote monitoring and control technology at over 30 community water systems across Minnesota in late July 2026, and water cyber attacks were subsequently reported across at least 12 states. However, the underlying OT security weaknesses are not exclusive to the water sector.

Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security and Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform, today announces an integration with SailPoint, a leader in identity governance, access and compliance. The Keeper SaaS Connector links SailPoint’s IGA platform directly to KeeperPAM. The integration allows SailPoint to control the provisioning, deprovisioning and entitlements of Keeper users, vaults and managed resources.
