Keeper Security Awarded CISA Continuous Diagnostics Approval
Keeper Security, recognized as a leader in innovative cybersecurity solutions, recently announced that its privileged access management solution, KeeperPAM, has been included in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Approved Products List (APL). This addition signifies a notable achievement in the company's commitment to enhancing cybersecurity measures for federal agencies.
Keeper Federal's zero-trust privileged access management solution is tailored specifically for federal agencies, ensuring alignment with essential U.S. government cybersecurity frameworks. This recognition by CISA underscores the effectiveness and reliability of Keeper Security's offerings in safeguarding against credential-based cyber threats.
Understanding CISA and the Importance of the CDM Program
The Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation Program by CISA aims to strengthen the cybersecurity framework for federal civilian agency networks. It provides a comprehensive set of tools, services, and dashboards that assist these agencies in the ongoing diagnosis and mitigation of cyber threats.
Products included in the APL are subjected to a thorough and standardized evaluation process. This ensures they meet stringent technical, operational, and cybersecurity criteria, thus fulfilling security mandates like FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST standards that are vital for the U.S. Federal Civilian Executive Branch.
Keeper's Commitment to Cybersecurity
Paul Aronhime, Senior Vice President of the Federal Sector at Keeper Security, expressed the company's unwavering dedication to protecting federal agencies against increasing cyber threats. "We focus on empowering teams that are often under pressure due to limited staff and budget constraints to effectively prevent data breaches and mitigate cyber attacks," he noted.
As cyber threats evolve in complexity, Keeper Security stands strong by promoting proactive cybersecurity measures through its zero-trust and zero-knowledge architecture. This design approach guarantees that only authenticated users have access to encrypted credentials, directly correlating with the CDM Program's emphasis on Identity and Access Management.
