In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity is no longer just a concern for large enterprises—it’s a critical necessity for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) as well. One of the most overlooked aspects of security is password management, yet weak or reused passwords remain a leading cause of data breaches. This is where Keeper Security's Password Manager comes in, offering SMBs a robust solution to protect their credentials, streamline access, and enhance overall security.

The Risks of Poor Password Management

Many SMBs rely on outdated methods for storing and sharing passwords—sticky notes, spreadsheets, or even memory. These practices expose businesses to significant risks, including:

• Data breaches: Weak passwords are easy targets for cybercriminals.
• Phishing attacks: Employees may unknowingly share credentials with malicious actors.
• Operational inefficiencies: Lost or forgotten passwords lead to downtime and frustration.

A password manager like Keeper eliminates these risks by providing secure, encrypted storage and automated password management.

Why Keeper Password Manager is Ideal for SMBs

Keeper’s business version is designed specifically to meet the needs of organizations, offering features that go beyond basic password storage:

1. Zero-Knowledge Security

Keeper employs zero-trust and zero-knowledge encryption, meaning that even Keeper itself cannot access stored passwords. This ensures that only authorized users can retrieve credentials.

2. Strong Password Generation & Storage

Keeper automatically generates strong, unique passwords for every account, preventing employees from using weak or repeated passwords.

3. Secure Sharing & Access Control

With Keeper, businesses can securely share credentials among team members without exposing them to unauthorized users. Role-based access controls ensure that employees only have access to the passwords they need.

4. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Keeper integrates with multi-factor authentication, adding an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access.

5. Compliance & Audit Features

For businesses aiming to meet security standards like ISO27001, Keeper provides detailed audit logs, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
