Keeper Security has introduced KeeperDB, a new database access capability within its privileged access management platform, KeeperPAM. The launch reflects a growing shift in cybersecurity strategy, where organizations are seeking unified, zero-trust solutions to manage sensitive systems such as production databases while reducing credential exposure and improving auditability.

Database environments have become a critical focus area for enterprise security teams, as they store large volumes of sensitive data and are frequently accessed by administrators, developers, and operations teams. Traditional access methods – often involving multiple desktop clients, shared credentials, and network tunnelling – can create fragmented workflows, limited visibility, and increased risk of credential compromise. KeeperDB aims to eliminate these vulnerabilities by centralizing database access directly within the Keeper Vault.

The solution enables users to initiate database sessions from records stored securely in the vault, using either a graphical interface or a command-line interface. Initial support includes widely used platforms such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server, ensuring compatibility across both on-premise and cloud-based environments. By keeping credentials hidden and preventing storage on endpoints, KeeperDB aligns with modern zero-trust security frameworks that treat privileged access as a high-risk vector.

A key differentiator of KeeperDB is its policy-driven governance model. Organizations can enforce granular controls such as read-only access, restrict data transfers, and apply access policies based on roles and risk levels. These controls are designed to prevent unauthorized data extraction while maintaining operational efficiency for teams that rely on real-time database interactions.

Session monitoring and compliance are also central to the platform. KeeperDB supports full visual session recording, allowing security teams to track database activity, investigate incidents, and meet regulatory requirements. This capability is particularly valuable in industries with strict compliance mandates, where detailed audit trails are essential.

To accommodate organizations that rely on existing database tools, Keeper Security is introducing KeeperDB Proxy. This feature allows users to connect through their preferred database clients while still benefiting from centralized credential management, policy enforcement, and session visibility. The approach ensures flexibility without compromising security standards.

Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security, emphasized the importance of addressing long-standing governance gaps. He noted that database access has historically been one of the least controlled areas in enterprise security, and bringing it into a centralized vault enables organizations to apply consistent zero-trust controls and auditing practices.

Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder, highlighted the balance between usability and security, stating that KeeperDB allows teams to maintain familiar workflows while operating within a controlled, secure environment. This reduces complexity while enhancing productivity and protection.

Keeper plans to showcase KeeperDB at the RSA Conference 2026, alongside updates to its broader platform, including Keeper Gateway and the Keeper Vault. As organizations continue to prioritize identity security and privileged access management, solutions like KeeperDB demonstrate how integrating database access into centralized security frameworks can strengthen governance, reduce risk, and support modern enterprise operations.
