Keeper Security Launches KeeperDB for Zero-Trust Database Access

Keeper Security has introduced KeeperDB, a new capability that integrates zero-trust database access directly into its Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform. The tool is designed to eliminate the use of unmanaged database tools and exposed credentials by embedding a secure database interface within the Keeper Vault.

Announced on March 19, 2026, KeeperDB addresses a critical vulnerability in enterprise security: the management of database credentials. Many organizations currently rely on insecure methods for database access, including hardcoded connection strings, shared spreadsheets, or standalone credential vaults that lack session oversight.

These fragmented tools increase the risk of data exfiltration, credential exposure, and audit gaps. Because enterprise databases contain some of an organization’s most sensitive assets, they are frequent targets for both external cyber attacks and insider misuse.

Centralized Database Session Management

KeeperDB provides a vault-native interface that allows developers, database administrators, and security teams to interact with sensitive data without exposing credentials in plaintext. The system supports connections to several major database environments, including:

• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• Oracle
• Microsoft SQL Server

By unifying database session management within the KeeperPAM platform, the company aims to reduce credential sprawl and standardize access workflows across both on-premises and cloud environments. Access to these databases is governed by centralized policies, and every session is fully recorded to ensure audit readiness and regulatory compliance.

KeeperDB represents a natural evolution of our zero-trust architecture. By embedding database access directly into the vault, we eliminate the credential sprawl that creates risk in most enterprise environments.

Zero-Trust Architecture and Security Framework

The new capability is built on a zero-trust and zero-knowledge architecture. This security model ensures that data is protected by end-to-end encryption, meaning only the authorized user possesses the keys to decrypt their specific data.

KeeperDB is part of a broader identity security platform that serves as a unified control plane for secrets, remote connections, endpoints, and privileged access for humans, machines, and AI agents. This platform incorporates several advanced security features, such as just-in-time access, elevation, and session control to enforce the principle of least privilege across service accounts, workloads, and administrators.

the platform utilizes KeeperAI to analyze privileged activity in real time. This AI-powered threat detection system is designed to classify risk and automatically terminate high-risk sessions while generating encrypted, forensic-ready summaries of the activity.

Compliance and Industry Standards

To meet the requirements of highly regulated industries and government agencies, Keeper Security maintains a wide array of certifications. The platform is FedRAMP High Authorized and GovRAMP High Authorized, meeting stringent federal security standards.

The company’s security framework also adheres to several global and industry-specific standards, including:

• ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018
• SOC 2
• HIPAA
• GDPR
• PCI DSS Level 1
• FDA 21 CFR Part 11
• FIPS 140-3

KeeperDB was officially launched at the RSA Conference 2026 in San Francisco. During the event, Keeper Security received 18 industry awards across categories including zero-trust security, privileged access management, and password management.
