At its core, Keeper Security has always been about making people’s lives easier and protecting them while they connect to the information, resources, and data they need. Today we take one big step to advance this vision. Initially, we focused on password security use cases, allowing users to securely store their passwords and easily sign

While acknowledging that zero-trust implementation will be a “journey” with “learning and adjustments along the way,” the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has finalized and released a memorandum detailing specific zero trust milestones for federal agencies to achieve by the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024. Under the memo, which is dated January 26,

Data privacy issues are a key concern for businesses, and not just because data privacy and data security are closely linked. As more and more business is conducted online, consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about how the companies they patronize are using their data. One Pew Research Study found that 81% of consumers feel that

As our world rapidly digitizes, more of our personal information is being exposed online. However, many people remain unaware of the extent to which organizations are tracking their online activities and using their personal data. Even those who are aware may not know what they can do to protect themselves. With this in mind, it

Can you keep a secret? How about your organization’s data environment? In an IT network, a “secret” is any compact datum that must remain confidential. Typically, secrets are used for authentication or as input to a cryptographic algorithm. Common secrets include: Since IT network secrets unlock access to highly privileged systems and data, securing secrets

Between the year-end holidays and breach fatigue, it’s easy for consumers and organizations to fall into a sense of complacency around cybersecurity. Cybercriminals know this, so while many people are vacationing, they’re hard at work. Case in point: Numerous users of the LastPass password manager have been receiving disturbing emails over the past few days,

Cloud computing isn’t inherently less secure than on-prem infrastructure — if organizations configure their cloud instances properly. Unfortunately, in many cases, they do not. Cloud misconfigurations account for 65% to 70% of cloud security issues. What does “cloud misconfiguration” mean? It’s a rather broad term that covers many possible errors, but by far, the most

The holiday season may be in full swing, but cybercriminals don’t take holidays. In fact, during major holidays, they frequently take advantage of thinner staffing levels and distracted employees to up their ante. We can expect the breaches, ransomware, and other cyber hits to keep coming, and possibly even increase over the next few weeks.

Trading platform Robinhood has suffered a breach compromising the personal information of about 7 million customers. In an official blog post, Robinhood said that the incident took place on November 3, when a cybercriminal “socially engineered a customer support representative by phone” to gain access to the company’s customer support system. After exfiltrating data, the

Active duty service members, veterans, and their families are disproportionately targeted by cybercrime. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the military and veteran community lost over $420.5 million to online scams between 2016 and 2020, a figure that was 44% higher than the civilian population. Most cybercrimes targeting veterans involve phishing and other social

The 2021 holiday shopping season is upon us, and the National Retail Federation (NRF) expects sales to rise by 8.5% to 10.5%, an all-time high. However, retailers are also facing serious challenges, including labor shortages, global supply chain disruptions, and cybersecurity concerns. In a recent survey by the NRF, 76% of retail loss prevention professionals

The White House Executive Order on cybersecurity and the push for all federal agencies to adopt a zero-trust security framework will fundamentally reshape public sector information security strategies. The work ahead will be a continuing journey, from migrating legacy systems to cloud environments, to mandating Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), to improving software supply chain security and

While many organizations treat governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) as a standalone department, GRC impacts every area of the enterprise. The negative impact of siloing GRC from the rest of the organization is especially clear during compliance audits. The audit process — already complex and time-consuming — is made even more difficult as GRC personnel

Microsoft made a bold statement last week when it suddenly announced that their users can now ditch their passwords and log in using Microsoft Authenticator, Windows Hello, a physical security key like a Yubikey, or an SMS/email verification code. Microsoft rolled out passwordless login for its business and education customers earlier this year, but this

It’s that time of the year again. Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which occurs every October, is an important annual event where government and industry leaders work together to increase awareness of cybersecurity best practices. This time last year, organizations and consumers were scrambling to adjust to the new everything-from-home realities ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stating that the U.S. federal government “can no longer depend on perimeter-based defenses to keep its critical systems and data safe,” the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a draft memorandum outlining a very aggressive goal: to have all federal agencies adopt a zero-trust security architecture by 2024.
