Keeper Security Launches Integration With Wiz to Remediate Critical Cloud Vulnerabilities

Published

on

By

With new integration, Keeper’s identity security platform remediates vulnerabilities discovered by Wiz, enabling closed-loop protection across cloud environments.

CHICAGO, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security and Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform, today announces a new integration with Wiz, a leading cloud and AI security platform that is now part of Google Cloud. Joining the Wiz Integration Network establishes Keeper as a remediation engine for identity security vulnerabilities discovered by Wiz, closing the loop between cloud security detection and active risk resolution. When Wiz identifies an identity-related vulnerability, spanning human users, machine identities, AI agents and database accounts, it automatically surfaces the finding in Keeper’s Cloud Security dashboard, where security teams can review and remediate each issue directly within KeeperPAM®.

As cloud environments grow more complex, organizations face an expanding attack surface driven by the rapid proliferation of Non-Human Identities (NHIs), autonomous AI agents and over-privileged service accounts. Wiz surfaces these risks with unmatched cloud visibility and Keeper provides joint customers with an automated, trusted path from discovery to remediation.

“Finding a vulnerability is the first half of the battle,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “By integrating with Wiz, Keeper helps customers rotate compromised credentials, enforce privileged access management and reduce over-permissioned identities, turning Wiz’s detection power into faster, more decisive risk reduction. This is the future of cloud security – detection and remediation working as one, giving security teams a clear path from vulnerability discovery to resolution across the identities and workloads that matter most.”

“We’re happy to welcome Keeper to the Wiz Integration Network,” said Oron Noah, VP of Product, Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz. “Together, we’re helping customers connect cloud risk findings with privileged access controls, making it easier to move from discovery to remediation. By bringing cloud visibility and access management into a unified workflow, teams can better secure both human and machine identities at scale.”

At the heart of the integration is a real-time workflow that transforms Wiz’s Issues into Keeper-driven remediation actions. When a Wiz customer enables the Keeper integration, Wiz scans the cloud environment for identity security vulnerabilities within Keeper’s remediation scope. Security teams can then select a finding and execute the appropriate remediation action through KeeperPAM:

Rotate compromised credentials and vault updated secretsBring unmanaged accounts under PAM governanceReduce excessive privileges for users, service accounts and IAM rolesMap Wiz Issues to existing PAM records or onboard new resourcesSubmit resolutions back to Wiz to close the loop on each finding

This tight integration bridges the gap between cloud security detection and identity security remediation, giving security teams a single, closed-loop workflow. Rather than manually triaging Wiz Issues and separately executing remediation steps in Keeper, KeeperPAM works alongside Wiz by automatically receiving identity-related Issues and streamlining the remediation steps. For teams, this results in accelerated Mean Time To Remediation (MTTR) and a dramatically reduced window of exposure before a vulnerability can be exploited.

The integration is especially powerful in AI-native environments, where autonomous agents and service accounts can rapidly accumulate excessive permissions across cloud infrastructure. Wiz’s AI Application Protection Platform (AI-APP) detects over-privileged AI agents, insecure service configurations and other AI-native risks. Keeper serves as a designated remediation engine, enforcing least privilege policies and enabling just-in-time access controls for AI agents in response. Together, they secure the full AI lifecycle from code to runtime, without requiring manual intervention from security teams.

Key benefits include:

Streamlined Identity Remediation: When Wiz discovers an identity security vulnerability, Keeper takes action – rotating compromised credentials, enforcing PAM controls and reducing excess privileges – streamlining the steps between detection and resolution.Closed-Loop Security Workflow: Connect Wiz’s industry-leading cloud and AI vulnerability detection directly to Keeper’s privileged access management platform for a complete detect-to-remediate pipeline that operates at cloud scale.Accelerated Mean Time to Remediation: By accelerating response to identity vulnerabilities at the moment of discovery, organizations dramatically shrink the window of exposure and reduce the risk of breach escalation.Comprehensive Identity Coverage: Remediation scope covers the full range of identity types, including human users, machine identities, AI agents and database accounts, ensuring no privileged entity goes unmanaged across cloud environments.

KeeperPAM, Keeper’s cloud-native privileged access management platform, unifies password, secrets and connections management with zero-trust network access, endpoint privilege management and remote browser isolation in a single solution. Built on a zero-trust and zero-knowledge architecture, KeeperPAM provides real-time visibility, automated credential security and AI-powered session monitoring to help organizations prevent breaches and maintain compliance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

By connecting detection directly to remediation, Keeper and Wiz give security teams the confidence that cloud risks are not just visible, but actively resolved. KeeperPAM’s zero-trust architecture ensures every remediation action maintains a verifiable chain of custody – from Wiz’s initial finding through to Keeper’s corrective action – supporting both continuous compliance and audit readiness.

Keeper’s integration with Wiz is available now. Review the full release notes in the Keeper documentation.

About Keeper Security
Keeper Security is the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security solution, trusted by millions of people and thousands of organizations globally. KeeperPAM® is Keeper’s privileged access management platform that unifies password and passkey management, secrets management, privileged session management and endpoint privilege management in a single cloud-native platform, protected with quantum-resistant encryption. KeeperAI delivers real-time, AI-native threat detection across every privileged session. As AI agents proliferate and identity becomes the defining attack surface, Keeper governs access for humans, machines, non-human identities and AI agents, serving as the unified control plane for access, compliance and visibility across the enterprise.

It delivers portfolio intelligence covering more than 8,000 hedge funds and institutional managers representing over $50 trillion in assets under management.

Firms can use this data to identify emerging trends, monitor shifts in institutional conviction, and uncover actionable insights from large-scale portfolio activity sooner.

As investors seek deeper insights beyond traditional market data, understanding how professional money managers allocate capital has become an increasingly valuable source of intelligence.

Whether you’re monitoring a crowded short, tracking institutional accumulation, validating an investment thesis, or understanding how professional money managers are allocating capital, speed and breadth of coverage matter. This dataset delivers on all of them.”

Key capabilities of the Institutional Portfolio Intelligence API include:

Institutional holdings and portfolio dataOwnership trends and capital flow analysisConsensus fund positioning insightsPortfolio concentration and allocation analyticsOutlier trade and conviction signal identificationHistorical coverage dating back to 2013Coverage across 11,000+ U.S. equities and ETFs (and 20,000+ delisted tickers)Fund sentiment by ticker, theme, industry or sectorFund performance and copy-traded returnsFund P/L and other fund manager metricsReal-time raw filings and insights

The launch further expands Benzinga’s growing suite of institutional-grade market data solutions, helping clients build more informed investing experiences powered by actionable intelligence, alternative datasets, and more timely visibility into institutional portfolio activity.
