FULL STORY
======================================================================

Cybersecurity firm Keeper Security has unveiled the latest tools designed for 
encrypted record access and sharing, featuring time-limited access and 
self-destructing records. 

Privileged access permissions can be granted and forgotten, leaving user 
accounts with greater access than they should have and putting businesses at 
risk. 

These user accounts can be exploited by hackers looking for an easy way into 
a network to install malware , particularly if the employee associated with 
the account has left the business and it hasnt been deleted. But Keeper 
Security thinks it has a solution. Security compliance has never been easier 

The ability to assign a timeframe for file access has the potential to 
significantly reduce the possibility of user permissions being granted and 
forgotten, enhancing zero-trust posture, keeping your files secure and 
malicious actors out of your network. 

Time-limited access can also be used in tandem with Keeper Secrets Manager, 
the company says, which can be used by companies that handle frequent 
contractors and third-parties to mitigate privilege abuse by scheduling an 
automatic rotation of a shared credential upon the expiration of access. 

Self-destructing records builds on this double-layered security by 
automatically deleting sensitive files after a certain amount of time once 
they are opened by the recipient. Keeper Security suggests that this would be 
particularly useful for use in the onboarding process, where providing 
credentials with a new starter can be done securely and remotely. 

The implementation of Time-Limited Access and Self-Destructing Records is a 
significant leap forward in secure credential sharing and addressing the 
risks posed by privilege escalation, said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of 
Keeper Security. These features empower both individuals and organisations to 
share information securely  providing a higher level of control over data 
access. More from TechRadar Pro Bitdefender now has identity protection for
