Smallstep Description
Smallstep is a Device Identity Platform™ designed to close a critical gap in Zero Trust security by authenticating devices, not just users. Using ACME Device Attestation, it creates hardware-bound credentials that prove a device’s authenticity and ownership with cryptographic certainty. These credentials protect access to corporate Wi-Fi, VPNs, SaaS tools, cloud workloads, source code, and sensitive data. Co-developed with Google and standardized at the IETF, ACME DA modernizes legacy approaches like SCEP with stronger guarantees and simpler automation. Smallstep works across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, making it ideal for heterogeneous environments. With deep integrations across enterprise IT and DevOps stacks, it delivers scalable, high-assurance device security without operational complexity.

Keeper Security
Password security is the foundation of cybersecurity. Keeper's powerful password security platform will protect your business from cyberthreats and data breaches related to passwords.
Research shows that 81% of data breaches can be attributed to weak passwords. Password security platforms are an affordable and easy way for companies to address the root cause of most data breaches. Your business can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches by implementing Keeper.
Keeper creates strong passwords for all websites and apps, then secures them on all devices. Each employee receives a private vault to store and manage their passwords, credentials and files, as well as private client data. Employees will save time and frustration by not having to remember, reset, reuse, or remember passwords. Industry compliance is achieved through strict and customizable role-based access controls. This includes 2FA, usage auditing, and event reporting.
