Keeper recognized across government security, AI agent identity, privileged access management and quantum-resilient encryption, with its CEO, CTO and CISO also named winners

, /PRNewswire/ — Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security platform, secured seven top honors in Cyber Defense Magazine’s 2026 Top InfoSec Innovators Awards, underscoring the company’s aggressive push to secure customers against emerging AI and quantum computing risks.

Top InfoSec Innovator Awards, Presented by Cyber Defense Magazine:

Next-Gen Cybersecurity for the Government
Most Innovative Identity Management for AI Agents
Hot Company Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Pioneering Quantum Resilient Encryption
Pioneering Cybersecurity Visionary: Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder
Trailblazing Chief Technology Officer: Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder
Trailblazing Chief Information Security Officer: Shane Barney, CISO

“We recognize global cybersecurity innovators that are helping to turn the tide against the exponential growth in cybercrime,” said Yan Ross, Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine. “We are pleased to recognize Keeper Security and its leadership team in these coveted awards.”

The accolades recognize not only Keeper’s technical advancements, but the executive vision driving them. Guided by award-winners Guccione, Lurey and Barney, the company is rapidly expanding its zero-trust, zero-knowledge security architecture to protect the world’s most complex and highly regulated enterprise environments. This includes advancing core PAM capabilities, such as KeeperAI, which automatically identifies and terminates high-risk privileged sessions in real-time, as well as maintaining the highest levels of public sector security with FedRAMP High Certification and GovRAMP High Authorization.

Beyond traditional access controls, Keeper is proactively defending against future threats. The Keeper AI Agent Kit brings autonomous systems and Model Context Protocol servers under the same strict governance as human users. To protect this expanding digital ecosystem, Keeper engineered a crypto-agile architecture to address evolving cryptographic threats. By layering NIST-standardized Kyber encryption over the elliptic curve cryptography that defends against today’s threats, Keeper ensures long-term resilience by allowing the platform to rapidly swap algorithms if new quantum vulnerabilities emerge.

“The cybersecurity industry is undergoing the most disruptive shift we’ve ever seen,” said Guccione. “The explosion of AI agents is forcing organizations to defend themselves at machine speed, while the threat of quantum decryption requires a complete rethink of how organizations must protect their data. You simply can’t fight those battles with legacy tools. Taking home these awards reinforces that we are solving the right problems and delivering the architecture organizations need to protect themselves both now, and in the future.”
