Keeper Security, a leading cybersecurity provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) software, is launching Keeper Forcefield—active protection against memory-based attacks on Windows devices.
According to the company, Forcefield is a groundbreaking kernel-level endpoint security product that proactively defends against memory-based attacks, including credential theft from infostealers, and runtime memory-scraping malware.
Keeper is one of the first cybersecurity software companies to deliver real-time memory protection at both the user and kernel levels, raising the standard for endpoint security in enterprise environments.
Keeper Forcefield locks down memory access at the kernel level. Unlike conventional antivirus or Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools, it enforces real-time memory protection capable of blocking non-privileged, fileless, and zero-day attacks without degrading system performance, the company said.
“Forcefield closes one of the most dangerous blind spots in endpoint security,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and co-founder of Keeper Security. “Malware can extract sensitive information directly from a device’s memory, even at the user level where administrative privilege isn't required. Forcefield prevents this type of exploit entirely without disrupting trusted applications or everyday workflows.”
Forcefield provides peace of mind by actively safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access while operating silently in the background, the company said.
It installs a lightweight, kernel-level driver that shields protected application memory from unauthorized access. Users can easily toggle Forcefield on or off within the Keeper Desktop application or deploy it via Group Policy.
The solution continuously differentiates between trusted and untrusted processes in real-time, ensuring legitimate activity continues uninterrupted while malicious or unknown processes are blocked from scraping sensitive data.
Windows applications protected by Forcefield include:
- Web browsers - Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi
- Keeper software - Desktop App, Web Vault, Browser Extensions, Gateway, Bridge, Commander, and KeeperChat
- Operating systems - Windows 11 x64 and ARM64
Forcefield is available for both individual users and enterprise environments. Organizations can deploy protection across fleets of Windows devices in minutes using existing management tools, ensuring scalable and consistent endpoint defense without added friction, said the vendor.
