Keeper Security and Enterprise Management
Associates highlight current trends and future directions in new
report
CHICAGO, May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust
and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software protecting passwords,
passkeys, privileged access, secrets and remote connections, today
announces the Information Security and Compliance Future Trends
2024 report in partnership with analyst firm Enterprise
Management Associates (EMA).
As emerging technology intensifies existing attack vectors and
creates new threats, the stakes are higher than ever for IT and
security leaders. According to recent research, 95% of IT and
security leaders believe cyber attacks are more sophisticated than
ever before. Despite the evolving threat landscape, the fundamental
rules of protecting an organization in the digital age remain the
same. Integrating solutions that prevent the most prevalent cyber
attacks, including password management and Privileged Access
Management (PAM) solutions, creates a layered security approach
that can withstand common and emerging attack techniques.
"The cybersecurity industry is poised for continued innovation
and transformation, driven by advancements in AI, regulatory
mandates and shifting security paradigms," said Christopher Steffen, Vice President of Research,
EMA. "Organizations that proactively adapt to these changes will be
better positioned to safeguard their assets and data against
emerging threats and cyber attacks."
"With rapidly evolving threats, new regulations, tech
advancements and a proliferation of devices, cybersecurity is more
critical than ever before," said Darren
Guccione, CEO and Co-founder, Keeper Security. "Every
organization needs to secure its passwords, credentials, secrets
and connections to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and defend
against internal and external threat vectors. The dynamic threat
environment underscores the necessity for proactive cybersecurity
strategies that can counter both existing and emerging
threats."
Today's organizations understand that deploying a PAM solution
is critical to strengthen their security posture and mitigate
risks. EMA found that Google search interest in Identity and Access
Management (IAM) and PAM increased from 2019 through 2023,
indicating that organizations and individuals increasingly
recognize the significance of access controls. This aligns with
recent research on the criticality of PAM: 91% of IT leaders
shared that their PAM product gives them more control over
privileged user activity, decreasing the risk of potentially
devastating insider and external breaches.
Despite their importance, traditional PAM products are
expensive, difficult to deploy and difficult to use – creating
barriers to adoption. In recent EMA research, 45% of organizations
cited tool consolidation as the most important factor when
considering investments in new solutions. This trend is expected to
become the norm, as organizations continue to seek more simplified
solutions to their existing cybersecurity and IT tools.
Keeper Security's next-generation, zero-trust KeeperPAM solution
is designed for perimeterless and multi-cloud environments without
the prohibitive costs or deployments typically associated with
traditional PAM solutions. It addresses the need to achieve
visibility, security, reporting and control across an entire
organization, for every user, on every device, from every
location.
In addition to being cost-effective, easy to implement and
engaging for end users, PAM solutions must provide essential
functionality with zero-trust and zero-knowledge security. In a
survey conducted by EMA on organizations' preparations for
zero-trust initiatives, 62% of respondents indicated they were
starting a zero-trust journey. The demand for zero-trust solutions
and methodologies will increase alongside these adoption
efforts.
"Zero trust has the potential to revolutionize the future of the
cybersecurity industry, and Keeper is at the forefront of that
revolution," said Craig Lurey, CTO
and Co-founder, Keeper Security. "We are committed to providing
cutting-edge solutions that empower businesses of all sizes to
navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape securely, connecting
enterprises and consumers with the digital resources they need in
the simplest and most secure way possible."
