Attackers are increasingly bypassing traditional cybersecurity defenses by targeting unprotected memory rather than exploiting vulnerabilities. Malicious software delivered through phishing attacks or other methods can access application memory to extract passwords, session tokens and other sensitive data – circumventing traditional encryption methods. Keeper Forcefield closes this dangerous gap by locking down memory access at the kernel level. Unlike conventional antivirus or Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools, it enforces real-time memory protection capable of blocking non-privileged, fileless and zero-day attacks without degrading system performance.
Forcefield provides peace of mind by actively safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access while operating silently in the background. It installs a lightweight, kernel-level driver that shields protected application memory from unauthorized access. Users can easily toggle Forcefield on or off within the Keeper Desktop application or deploy it via Group Policy. The solution continuously differentiates between trusted and untrusted processes in real-time, ensuring legitimate activity continues uninterrupted while malicious or unknown processes are blocked from scraping sensitive data.
How Keeper Forcefield works:
Kernel-level protection - Actively monitors and restricts memory access to protected applications.
Selective memory restriction - Blocks unauthorized processes from reading protected application memory.
Smart process validation - Differentiates between trusted and untrusted processes in real time.
Uninterrupted system performance - Runs quietly without impacting system or application performance.
Windows applications protected by Forcefield include:
Web browsers - Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi
Keeper software - Desktop App, Web Vault, Browser Extensions, Gateway, Bridge, Commander and KeeperChat
Operating systems - Windows 11 x64 and ARM64
Forcefield is available for both individual users and enterprise environments. Organizations can deploy protection across fleets of Windows devices in minutes using existing management tools, ensuring scalable and consistent endpoint defense without added friction.
