Keeper Security has announced new enterprise governance capabilities for its Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM), adding structured approval workflows, expiration controls, and real-time audit visibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. The updates target large, distributed organisations managing privileged access under stricter compliance and regulatory requirements.

What Has Changed

Keeper Security says the core of the update is a centralised approval framework within the Keeper Admin Console. Elevation requests are now governed globally, with role-based approvers, escalation paths, and configurable approval windows. Expiration validation and workflow enforcement are designed to reduce lingering privileges and improve separation of duties — a growing requirement for regulated industries across APAC.

The release also introduces enhanced real-time visibility into privilege elevation activity, allowing administrators to monitor requests as they occur with clearer status distinctions and expanded audit logging supported by correlation identifiers.

The Problem It Targets

Privileged access management has become a frontline concern as cyber attackers increasingly target standing privileges — accounts with permanent administrative rights that provide broad access even when not actively needed. Keeper EPM enforces least privilege through policy-driven, temporary elevation, keeping all elevation data encrypted locally and accessible only to authorised administrators within the Admin Console.

The company says its zero-trust, zero-knowledge architecture ensures that even Keeper itself cannot access customer-held privilege data.

Relevance for APAC Enterprises

The announcement carries particular relevance for APAC organisations navigating rapid AI integration and tightening cybersecurity regulations. The shift toward just-in-time access controls — where elevated privileges are granted for specific, time-limited tasks rather than held permanently — is increasingly reflected in regional compliance frameworks.

“Elevation becomes deliberate, bounded and fully auditable. That’s how you reduce standing privilege and operate confidently at enterprise scale,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security.
