Keeper Security, a pioneer in zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security and Privileged Access Management (PAM), announced the enhancement of its PAM solution for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments. The latest update to KeeperPAM allows organizations to manage and monitor privileged access and automatically rotate privileged credentials for Google Cloud infrastructure and Google Workspace identities, which has long been one of the most problematic security blind spots in cloud computing.
As organizations move at a rapid pace in their cloud transformation, identity attacks have become a leading cause of data breaches. This vulnerability is further exacerbated by the use of AI automation, which is rapidly increasing the number and level of non-human identities (NHIs) that are operating in cloud environments. In Google Cloud environments, privileged access is often fragmented across service accounts, automated workloads, and human users who are embedded in IAM policies. These identities are often over-privileged and have unrotated credentials, which are increasing the identity attack surface and the potential blast radius of a breach.
KeeperPAM addresses this challenge by delivering an identity-first, cloud-native PAM solution purpose-built for Google Cloud—converging infrastructure access, SaaS identity protection, and non-human identity security within a single zero-trust platform.
“Cloud security failures rarely stem from a single misconfiguration – they stem from unmanaged identity sprawl,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “With KeeperPAM, organizations can apply zero-trust principles consistently across Google Cloud infrastructure and Google Workspace identities, enforcing least privilege and eliminating standing access without adding complexity.”

Unifying Infrastructure and Identity Security in Google Cloud
KeeperPAM has a Google Cloud integration that comes with a service account and a light-weight Keeper Gateway, which provides for an outbound-only, agent-less connectivity that is in line with the zero-trust architecture model. The solution automatically discovers GCP resources and identifies privileged identities mentioned in the IAM policies, including Google Workspace users.
Built for Modern Cloud, Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Environments
Although the traditional PAM solutions were intended for on-premises infrastructure, KeeperPAM is cloud-native and designed for cloud, multi-cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. The solution does not require any inbound firewall rules, bastion hosts, or agents, which means that organizations can protect Google Cloud infrastructure without impacting their existing architectures and workflows. This further enhances the benefits of KeeperPAM’s integrated privileged access management for Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure.
“Most PAM tools were never designed to manage cloud identities at scale, especially human identities embedded in SaaS platforms like Google Workspace,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “KeeperPAM reflects how cloud environments actually operate today, delivering practical least-privilege controls, automated rotation and visibility across identities that attackers increasingly target.”
