The gist: Keeper Security brings privileged access management directly into Microsoft Teams to centralize approval processes for sensitive access and improve auditability.
Keeper Security has unveiled an integration for Microsoft Teams that handles requests for privileged access and their approval directly within the collaboration platform. This is intended to make security processes more transparent and reduce media breaks through email or separate ticketing systems.
Many organizations currently handle privileged access requests across distributed channels such as emails, ticketing systems, or separate management portals. This fragmented structure makes tracking difficult and leads to confusion. Keeper’s Teams integration centralizes these workflows by allowing users to handle requests and approvals directly within their daily work environment.
The solution supports multiple scenarios: time-limited requests for stored credentials or folders, one-time password releases, approvals for elevated user rights on endpoints, SSO device releases, and creation of new credentials with automatically generated passwords. All approved actions are documented to ensure later auditability. Access is granted according to the principle of least privilege, is time-limited, and is automatically revoked.
Keeper operates the Teams app within the infrastructure of the respective organization and does not process credentials and secrets through its own cloud services. The architecture is based on end-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge approach, in which the provider itself has no access to stored information. The integration leverages existing components such as the Keeper Secrets Manager and can be automatically deployed.
The Teams integration fits into Keeper’s broader integration strategy, which already includes connections to Jira, ServiceNow, and Slack. This approach reflects a trend in which security and approval processes are being shifted into employees’ everyday work environments rather than forcing application switching – however, balancing usability and security requirements remains an ongoing challenge.
