Keeper Privileged Cloud delivers Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) by extending KeeperPAM’s Just-In-Time (JIT) access framework to cloud identity platforms. A user gets elevated permissions only after a request is approved; those permissions last for a set time window, and Keeper removes them automatically once the window ends. No permanent privilege is left in place.

The main difference between Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) and least privilege is that least privilege limits the amount of access an identity has, whereas ZSP limits both the amount of access and its duration. Least privilege grants every user or machine only the minimum permissions necessary to do its job, but those permissions tend to persist once a task is completed, leaving standing access behind.

Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security platform, today announces the availability of a certified connector integrating Keeper Secrets Manager with Microsoft Azure Logic Apps. The connector, now published on the Microsoft Power Platform marketplace, enables enterprise teams to create and retrieve credentials at runtime directly within automated workflows without ever hardcoding sensitive values in flows.

In late July 2026, over 30 municipal water systems across Minnesota were targeted in coordinated cyber attacks that disrupted the Operational Technology (OT) used to remotely monitor and control water equipment. The attacks initially unfolded on July 26 and 27, striking multiple automated control systems across the state, including those in Plymouth, Braham and South St. Paul.

Every fall, school districts and universities across the country race to onboard thousands of new students, faculty and staff, provisioning accounts, issuing credentials and connecting a wave of new devices to institutional networks. It is a moment of organized chaos, and cybercriminals know it.

AI governance reduces security risk by enforcing least-privilege access, protecting the data and credentials AI systems handle and making every AI action auditable. This matters because most organizations deploy AI faster than they can govern it. Employees adopt unsanctioned tools, and autonomous AI agents are created under existing user identities. Each one adds unmonitored machine identities that expand your attack surface – the exact gap that governance closes.
