Keeper Security Recognized in 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management

Published

The recognition was based on Keeper Security’s Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

CHICAGO, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security platform, today announces that it has been recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management (PAM) for a second consecutive year. The Gartner report evaluates vendors across their Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. In Keeper’s view, this year’s recognition reflects KeeperPAM’s cloud-native architecture and unified approach to governing the full identity lifecycle, from passwords and secrets to endpoint privilege management and AI agent governance.

Product Innovation Addressing Modern Identity Threats

Keeper’s recent product innovations directly address the identity-based threats that are reshaping enterprise security. The company released KeeperDB for passwordless database management and launched Universal Secrets Sync to push secrets directly to cloud-native vaults, extending secrets governance across modern infrastructure. KeeperAI now extends behavioral threat detection across privileged session protocols to detect anomalous agentic AI activity and trigger automated session responses, treating AI agents as privileged users with full audit and policy enforcement.

“The difference between what we built and legacy PAM platforms shows up immediately during deployment because the foundational architecture is entirely different,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “When you try to add remote access management or secrets governance to a system that was originally designed to be on-prem, then lifted and shifted to the cloud, you’re always fighting the original design. We made different choices from the beginning, building KeeperPAM as cloud-native and identity-agnostic from the start. This unique architecture matters when you’re trying to govern humans, machines and AI agents concurrently.”

Why This Matters Now

As organizations deploy AI agents across their infrastructure, every agent introduces a new identity, attack surface and compliance obligation. The market is moving faster than legacy platforms can adapt. Keeper’s recognition reflects a fundamental shift in what identity governance means: it now spans passwords, secrets, machines and AI agents, with each requiring the same audit trails, policy enforcement and session visibility. This means security teams need a platform built for this reality from the beginning, not one retrofitted to address it after the fact.

2026 Momentum

To Keeper, the recognition by Gartner is part of a broader pattern of market validation in 2026. This growth is reinforced by industry awards, including the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, which recognized Keeper for Innovation and Zero Trust leadership.

“Keeper hasn’t just adapted to the changing security landscape; we have designed our identity security platform specifically for it,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “By delivering a unified platform that secures everything from humans to AI agents, we are solving visibility, access and governance problems that legacy systems cannot. Our commitment to industry innovation is exactly why we continue to be recognized on Gartner reports.”

With FedRAMP High Certification, GovRAMP High Authorization, SOC 2 Type II attestation, ISO 27001 certification and FIPS 140-3 validation, Keeper provides the highest level of security and compliance assurance to customers across commercial and public sector environments.

America’s Largest Political Group Is Getting Its Own Election Night

October 26, 2026

By

A record 45% of Americans identify with neither party. On November 3, they get the first nationally televised Election Night built around the independent voter bloc, presented by United Independents, the organization behind the Independent National Convention, in partnership with DeFiance Media.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Can the country’s largest bloc of voters turn identity into representation? Independents now make up 45% of U.S. adults, a record high in Gallup’s 2025 data, yet partisan coverage continues to dominate mainstream mediums. On November 3, one broadcast will cover the election from the Independent point of view.

Broadcast live from the National Press Club’s television studio in Washington, D.C. Election Night 2026: Independent Edition is an eight-hour program hosted by Christopher Life, founder and CEO of United Independents, and Macy Gunnell, NewsForce’s White House correspondent. DeFiance Media will be producing and streaming the broadcast.

Built on live election data from The Associated Press (AP), the program will call the national races as the returns come in. Then it goes where other broadcasts don’t: race-by-race coverage of independent candidates in consequential congressional contests, and guest conversations with the strategists and organizers behind them.

Built for the Voters Both Parties Are Chasing

Two generations of Americans have come of age as independent voters, and in 74 years of nationally televised Election Night broadcasts, not one has been built around them. This one is: national results and the balance of power, dedicated coverage of the independent candidates who could tip the next Congress, and a live chat with selected viewer questions put to the hosts and guests on air.

Open to Every Newsroom

Television pool feed. U.S. television outlets, including local stations, can carry the program live, in full or in part, separate from DeFiance Media’s full-program streaming.Social streaming. The broadcast streams through participating social media partners. Channels that want to carry it can sign up at Election2026.live.Live clips and excerpts. Newsrooms, commentators, and creators can pull portions of the program for reporting and social distribution while the broadcast is underway.

Request access through the Media & Distribution Access Form at Election2026.live.

Free and Accessible Nationwide

Going live Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026, from 6 PM- 2 AM ET. Updates, guest announcements, and viewing instructions: Election2026.live.
