Security teams are under constant pressure to move faster without giving up control, but in many organizations, access requests, approvals and credential workflows still live outside secure systems. They happen in chat messages, ticket comments or manual processes in tools like Slack, Teams, Jira or ServiceNow, increasing risk, reducing visibility and slowing response times.

KeeperDB is a secure, multi-protocol database client built on Keeper’s zero-knowledge platform. Available as both a free standalone desktop application and a privileged session component of KeeperPAM, KeeperDB combines a database query engine, vault-managed credentials, real-time performance monitoring and an AI-powered database assistant in a unified interface. Continue reading to learn more about how KeeperDB works, its key features and the benefits of using it to help secure database access.

For Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), managing cybersecurity programs across multiple client environments can be a daunting task. Context-switching between isolated client accounts, enforcing access policies at scale and ensuring that no vulnerability in one environment affects another demonstrates the ongoing challenges of multi-tenant security.

Although customer password vaults were not affected, LastPass confirmed that customer information was exposed when cybercriminals compromised a third-party market intelligence platform in June 2026. This is not the first time LastPass customers have had their information put at risk; LastPass’s major 2022 breach involved cybercriminals stealing backups of customer vault data.

Leading Managed Service Provider (MSP) distributors aren’t just adding identity tools to their marketplace. They are redefining the criteria for partnership within their ecosystems. For years, joining a major distributor’s marketplace was primarily a commercial transaction. Submit your business details, pass some basic onboarding checks and sell away. Identity security was an afterthought, a product category rather than a partnership requirement. Those days are gone.

Password managers are among the most helpful security tools available, offering strong password generation and encrypted credential storage. However, attackers are beginning to target password managers by exploiting the device registration flow, which is the process used to verify and approve a new device before it can access a user’s vault. By brute-forcing the One-Time Passwords (OTPs) that protect this step, attackers can register unauthorized devices and download copies of encrypted vaults.

Information Technology (IT) security is the practice of protecting an organization’s systems, data and networks from unauthorized access and cyber threats. It encompasses a wide range of processes, policies and technologies designed to secure everything from employee devices to cloud infrastructure.

The NIS2 Directive is the European Union’s updated cybersecurity framework, designed to improve cyber resilience across critical sectors. Building on its predecessor, the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive, NIS2 significantly expands its scope to include industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, energy, transport and managed services. NIS2 also introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements, direct accountability for senior management and defined incident reporting timelines.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a Department of Defense (DoD) framework made to ensure organizations handling federal information maintain adequate cybersecurity controls. While CMMC is often associated with government agencies and defense contractors, research universities involved in DoD-funded projects may also need to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) like research data and technical specifications.

Database access is one of the largest blind spots in enterprise security. Credentials are often shared, insecurely stored or transmitted without monitoring. KeeperDB is a modern, multi-protocol database client that addresses these gaps by supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and other major protocols from a unified interface.
