Keeper Security provides Slack integration to offer zero-trust privileged access controls

Keeper Security, a leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) software, is launching its Slack integration—extending secure, policy-driven access governance into one of the most popular collaboration platforms.

According to the company, this integration allows organizations to request and approve access to Keeper Vault resources, such as shared folders, service accounts, credentials, and protected applications directly within Slack, while Keeper continues to operate as the system of record for access enforcement, encryption, auditing, and compliance.

The Slack App and Keeper Commander application containers are hosted by the customer, preserving Keeper's zero-knowledge architecture and ensuring that the customer is in complete control over the encryption and decryption of data.

"Security breaks down when people have to step outside governed systems. We designed this integration so that Slack functions as a workflow interface, not a security boundary," said Craig Lurey, CTO and co-founder of Keeper Security. "Slack is where work happens. Keeper is where access is enforced. Keeping those roles separate is what lets organizations move faster without creating new risk."

By bringing access approvals into an established collaboration environment, organizations can eliminate insecure side channels such as email threads, direct messages or screenshots, all while maintaining strict least-privilege access policies and centralized governance across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments, the company said.

With this capability, organizations can streamline access governance while maintaining full control. Requests are initiated in Slack and routed automatically to the appropriate approvers based on Keeper policies. Access is granted on a Just-in-Time (JIT) basis with no standing privileges, and every request, approval, and access event is logged centrally to support audit and compliance requirements.

The Slack integration is part of Keeper's broader platform strategy to extend zero-trust access governance into the systems of work where decisions already occur, without fragmenting security controls or introducing new attack surfaces. This approach allows organizations to modernize access workflows while keeping enforcement centralized, consistent, and auditable, the vendors said.

"As organizations adopt more collaborative and distributed ways of working, security has to adapt without surrendering authority," added Lurey. "This launch reflects Keeper's long-term view of access governance as a wider platform capability, not a point integration."

The Keeper Slack integration is now available to Keeper customers.
