“The past four months have resulted in history’s most pervasive cybersecurity challenge. As businesses have shifted their operations online and people have adapted to remote work and social distancing, cybercriminals have executed their attacks at record rates. It’s forcing a rapid transformation and growth in the cybersecurity industry – one that is essential to safeguard people and businesses,” says Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “With the support of Insight Partners and the planned synergy, we’re well-positioned to bring new, unique and increasingly critical cybersecurity solutions to new and existing customers, globally.”

“As the lines blur between where we live and where we work, businesses and consumers look to Keeper for critical cybersecurity protection. The value that Keeper provides to its customer base has never been clearer,” says Krane. “Keeper’s impressive growth and business stability, despite the global pandemic, is driven by its ability to deliver products that exceed their customers’ needs and expectations. We look forward to supporting Keeper in its continued growth.”
