Secure remote access for IT, DevOps and external teams

Secure cloud and on-prem access

Unify access to multi-cloud and on-prem infrastructure. The Keeper Gateway provides secure, encrypted entry points across all environments.

Track every remote session

Record every click, keystroke and command. All session activity is logged and can be streamed to your SIEM for real-time analysis and auditing.

Eliminate VPNs

Enable encrypted remote access through encrypted tunnels and credential injection. No firewall changes, no broad network exposure, no VPNs required.

AI-powered risk detection

KeeperAI analyzes every session in real time, categorizes user activity and automatically ends high-risk sessions to stop threats instantly.

How KeeperPAM® enables secure remote privileged access

Connect users securely through the Keeper Vault

KeeperPAM enables secure remote access by routing all privileged connections through the Keeper Vault. This eliminates the need for direct access to target systems, reducing attack surfaces and simplifying remote access for users.

Eliminate network complexity with agentless architecture

The Keeper Gateway establishes outbound, encrypted tunnels to target systems — no agents, VPNs or firewall changes required. This streamlines deployment while enforcing zero-trust principles across cloud and on-prem environments.

Provide Just-in-Time (JIT) access without exposing credentials

With KeeperPAM, users can receive temporary, time-bound access to infrastructure without ever seeing credentials or SSH keys. After access is revoked, credentials can be automatically rotated to prevent reuse and reduce risk.

Enable developers to use native tools securely

KeeperPAM supports popular development and database tools such as PuTTY, pgAdmin and MySQL Workbench. Users can initiate encrypted tunnels directly from the Vault, preserving secure access without changing workflows.

Manage multi-cloud environments from one interface

Centralize privileged access across AWS, Azure, GCP and on-prem systems in a single UI. Keeper Gateways deployed in each environment ensure consistent policy enforcement and visibility across distributed infrastructure.

Monitor every session with full visibility

KeeperPAM records screen and keystroke activity for all remote sessions: SSH, RDP, VNC, database and browser. This ensures compliance, audit readiness and accountability for all privileged activity.

Enforce access controls with role-based policies and MFA

Apply granular Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) and enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all systems, even those without native MFA.

Streamline remote privileged access

Secrets management

Centralize and automate secrets management across all environments. Keeper securely stores and rotates infrastructure secrets like API keys, certificates and database credentials.

Remote browser isolation

Launch protected browser sessions to internal or web-based apps from within Keeper. This isolates the endpoint from sensitive web environments, prevents data exfiltration (copy/paste, downloads) and ensures secure access on BYOD devices.

Multi-protocol session recording

Automatically record screen and keyboard activity across all remote sessions, including terminal, desktop, browser and database protocols. Recordings are encrypted and stored in the cloud for auditing, compliance and incident investigation.

Solve remote privileged access challenges with Keeper

KeeperPAM provides session recording, credential autofill and clear audit trails — among other capabilities — to enable secure browsing and zero-trust infrastructure access without a VPN or local agent.

Frequently asked questions

What is Vendor Privileged Access Management (VPAM)?

Vendor Privileged Access Management (VPAM) is a subset of PAM focused on controlling, monitoring and securing privileged access for third-party vendors. VPAM is designed for external users, such as contractors, service providers or consultants, who require temporary, elevated access to perform tasks. VPAM solutions ensure vendors only access the systems they’re authorized to, for a limited time, without ever exposing sensitive credentials. They do so with just-in-time access, credential injection, session monitoring, audit logging and policy enforcement to reduce the risk of data breaches, ensure compliance and maintain full visibility into third-party activities.

What are the key benefits of using KeeperPAM for vendor access control?

KeeperPAM enhances vendor access control by providing secure, time-limited access without exposing credentials or requiring standing privileges. It leverages just-in-time provisioning, automatic credential rotation and privileged session recording to prevent unauthorized access. With KeeperPAM, organizations can reduce IT overhead, streamline vendor onboarding and enforce security policies.

Does Keeper offer capabilities that allow a remote privileged user to use tools from their own device to manage target resources?

By using KeeperPAM through the Keeper desktop applications, remote privileged users can create secure tunnels to target systems and utilize their own local tools (SSH, RDP, DB clients, etc.) to manage resources, without exposing credentials or requiring a VPN.

How are vendor connections established in KeeperPAM?

Vendor connections in KeeperPAM are established through a secure, zero-trust architecture that eliminates credential exposure while providing full auditability and control. IT administrators configure access by creating connection records and sharing them with external vendors via shared folders, applying role-based policies and time-limited permissions.

Vendors authenticate through the Keeper Vault, accessible through a web browser or desktop app. Once inside, they select authorized resources and initiate sessions that are securely tunneled through the Keeper Gateway. Credentials are never exposed or visible to the vendor. All activity is recorded and monitored in real-time, ensuring compliance, security and a seamless vendor experience.

How does KeeperPAM secure vendor access without exposing credentials?

KeeperPAM secures vendor access by eliminating credential exposure through vault-based access, credential injection and a zero-knowledge, zero-trust architecture. All credentials are encrypted and stored within the Keeper Vault; they are never revealed or accessible to vendors.

When a vendor initiates a session, access is granted via a connection record - not raw credentials. The Keeper Gateway injects credentials directly into the target system, ensuring they never reach the vendor's device. Vendor access is governed by role-based policies, time-limited sessions and real-time monitoring. All activity is automatically recorded across supported protocols, providing full auditability for compliance and security oversight.
