Keeper Security names Jessica Krowel and Bill Grabner to lead North America Private and Public Sector sales.

Keeper Security names Jessica Krowel and Bill Grabner to lead North America Private and Public Sector sales. Sep 03, 2026, 07:00 ET New appointments strengthen Keeper's go-to-market team following recognition as the second fastest-growing security software company globally CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security platform, today announces the appointment of Jessica Krowel as Senior Vice President of North America Sales, Private Sector, and Bill Grabner as Senior Vice President, Public Sector. Both will support Tim Strickland as Chief Revenue Officer, as Keeper continues to strengthen and scale its go-to-market leadership. These key talent acquisitions come on the heels of Gartner(R) recognizing Keeper as the second fastest-growing competitor in its Market Share Analysis: Security Software, Worldwide, 2025 report. Krowel brings almost 20 years of go-to-market leadership in identity and access management. She spent 14 years at CyberArk, rising through the ranks to Global Vice President of Inside Sales and Chief of Staff to the Go-to-Market ("GTM") organization, and most recently served as Vice President of Global Sales Development at Delinea. Grabner brings more than two decades of federal and public sector sales leadership, most recently as Senior Vice President and General Manager at JMA Wireless, with prior leadership roles at Ribbon Communications, Cisco and BroadSoft. Krowel and Grabner will support and scale Keeper's GTM teams across key regions to address demand across the midmarket segment, large-scale enterprises and Federal organizations. Last year, Keeper grew its revenue 53.4% in 2025, more than three times the security software market's overall average of 15.5%, ranking second only to Google in Gartner's analysis. The $111 billion worldwide security software market grew steadily last year, and Gartner attributed the top performers' growth in part to platform consolidation and organizations replacing fragmented point solutions with unified platforms. "The cybersecurity market is seeing an unprecedented inflection point with the advent and widespread adoption of AI technologies," said Tim Strickland, Chief Revenue Officer of Keeper Security. "With Jessica and Bill onboard, Keeper is poised to continue accelerating its rocketing growth as organizations seek identity security solutions that harness the power of AI to protect against existing human risks and emerging agentic AI threats." Keeper's flagship identity security platform unifies password and passkey management, privileged session management, secrets management and endpoint privilege management within a single cloud-native, zero-knowledge architecture. The platform incorporates KeeperAI(R), which delivers real-time threat detection across privileged sessions, and extends governance to AI agents, machines and non-human identities alongside human users. Both Krowel and Grabner will be responsible for expanding adoption of Keeper in their respective markets, as organizations consolidate fragmented identity tools onto a single solution that provides superior visibility, security and control. Keeper's own 2026 research sheds light on the demand for unified identity security, as only 36% of organizations report having a privileged access management solution fully deployed, and 64% still lack fully consolidated privileged access governance. Most of the market hasn't solved this problem yet. "Identity has become the center of enterprise risk and governance given that human and non-human identities are proliferating faster than most organizations can secure and manage them," said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. "We are thrilled to have Jessica and Bill on our team given their superb knowledge and expertise in helping organizations secure and govern all identities in the modern era."

Keeper Security earns top-tier analyst rankings from GigaOm and ISG for enterprise identity leadership.

Keeper Security earns top-tier analyst rankings from GigaOm and ISG for enterprise identity leadership. Keeper Security earned top-tier recognitions from GigaOm and ISG, naming it a leader in enterprise password management and an exemplary identity platform alongside major cloud providers. The analyst accolades highlight Keeper's unified zero-trust architecture, which consolidates credential vaulting, secrets management, and AI agent identity governance into a single cloud platform. SINGAPORE, 2 SEPTEMBER - Keeper Security, a leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security, today announced it has secured top-tier recognition from two independent analyst firms, GigaOm and Information Services Group (ISG), in the same week. GigaOm designated Keeper as the overall quadrant leader in its Enterprise Password Management (EPM) Radar. Concurrently, ISG named Keeper an Exemplary Provider in its Buyers Guide for Identity and Access Management (IAM) Platforms, positioning the company alongside industry leaders Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud. GigaOm's evaluation highlighted Keeper's enterprise password management capabilities, marking the fifth consecutive year the platform has held a top position. Designated as an Enduring Innovator, Keeper was praised for its architectural depth, fast-paced innovation, secrets management capabilities, official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and agentic and non-human identity governance. The firm recognized Keeper's ability to consolidate workforce vaulting and machine-identity governance into a single control plane. "Building a platform that governs identity end to end, from the credential in the vault to the AI agent requesting access to infrastructure, was a deliberate architectural decision we made years ago when most of the market was still solving one problem at a time," said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. "The fact that two independent firms evaluated our platform and both placed us at the top tells us that decision was right, and that the market is catching up to where we knew it needed to go." ISG's broad evaluation scored vendors across product capability, platform architecture, and customer experience. Keeper achieved an overall performance score of 83% (A-), bolstered by an 85.4% score in product capability and an 82.7% score in customer experience. These metrics reflect the functional strengths of the Keeper Password Manager vault alongside Keeper's broader platform extensions into privileged access management (PAM) and endpoint privilege management. The dual recognition comes amid growing market demand to eliminate fragmented cybersecurity stacks. Industry research shows that 40% of organizations run four or more disconnected identity tools, while 96% of cybersecurity decision-makers report that disjointed platforms create dangerous security gaps. By offering a cloud-native architecture that integrates KeeperAI real-time threat detection, Keeper enables enterprises to govern human, non-human, and AI agent identities without disruptive system overhauls.

Keeper Security earns top-tier recognition from GigaOm and ISG for Identity Security innovation and leadership.

Keeper Security earns top-tier recognition from GigaOm and ISG for Identity Security innovation and leadership. September 1, 2026 Two independent analyst firms place Keeper at the top of their market reports for enterprise password management and identity and access management. CHICAGO - Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security, today announces it has earned top-tier recognition from two independent analyst firms in the same week. GigaOm designated Keeper a Leader in the Enduring Innovators quadrant of its Enterprise Password Management (EPM) Radar, and the overall quadrant leader. Information Services Group (ISG) named Keeper an Exemplary Provider in its Buyers Guide for Identity and Access Management (IAM) Platforms, placing Keeper among the top tier of IAM providers globally alongside Microsoft, AWS and Google Cloud. GigaOm's evaluation focused on enterprise password management, where Keeper has now held a top position for five consecutive years. The Enduring Innovators designation is reserved for platforms that have earned their standing through architectural depth, and Keeper was recognized as advancing faster than the majority of the field. The assessment found breadth without obvious weak points, with particular recognition for its secrets management capabilities, official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and agentic and non-human identity governance. The firm described Keeper's platform as one that consolidates workforce vaulting, secrets management and machine-identity governance in one place, built for enterprises that need to govern every identity in their environment, regardless of type. ISG's report evaluated the field of identity and access management more broadly, using a methodology that simulates the enterprise request for information process to score providers across product capability, platform and customer experience against a field that includes the industry's most established IAM providers. Keeper earned an overall performance score of 83% (A-), with its strongest performance in product capability at 85.4%, the dimension ISG uses to measure how well a platform addresses the functional requirements that drive enterprise IAM decisions. A customer experience score of 82.7% secured Keeper's Exemplary placement, reserved for providers that outperform the median across both criteria. "Building a platform that governs identity end to end, from the credential in the vault to the AI agent requesting access to infrastructure, was a deliberate architectural decision we made years ago when most of the market was still solving one problem at a time," said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. "The fact that two independent firms evaluated our platform and both placed us at the top, tells us that decision was right, and that the market is catching up to where we knew it needed to go." Keeper Password Manager is the zero-trust and zero-knowledge credential vault that GigaOm evaluated. It protects passwords, passkeys and secrets for every user, human and non-human, across the enterprise. Keeper's full identity security platform builds on that foundation, extending into privileged access management and endpoint privilege management under a single cloud-native architecture. KeeperAI adds real-time threat detection across every privileged session, surfacing risk in seconds without requiring additional headcount or manual review. Together they represent what ISG's evaluation measured: a unified identity security platform capable of governing every user, machine, non-human identity and AI agent across the enterprise, that deploys in minutes and integrates with existing technology stacks without requiring a rip-and-replace overhaul. The timing of this recognition reflects real pressure in the market. According to the Dark Reading State of Identity Security Survey, 40% of organizations currently run four or more disconnected identity products or platforms, and Keeper's own global research found that 96% of cybersecurity decision-makers say those disconnected tools are creating exploitable gaps in their security programs. Enterprises that have been managing identity security across four, five or six disconnected tools are actively looking for a way out, and independent analyst research is increasingly pointing them toward platforms that can govern all of it in one place.
