MSSPs know that most endpoint tools stop at detection, not prevention. But attackers today are skipping the usual file-based routes and going straight for memory, where passwords, tokens, and secrets briefly live unencrypted.
Keeper Security’s new
Forcefield technology goes right to the root of that problem, adding a kernel-level layer of defense that stops unauthorized access before data can be taken. For MSSPs managing Windows environments, it’s a new way to close a major blind spot without adding noise or overhead.
Closing the Memory Gap
Antivirus and EDR tools are good at identifying patterns or behaviors, but they don’t protect what’s happening inside active memory.
Eric Kalseth, Senior Director of Global MSP Sales at Keeper Security, told MSSP Alert, “Malicious software that has been installed through phishing attacks can access application memory to extract passwords, session tokens, and other sensitive information - bypassing traditional encryption methods."
That’s the gap Forcefield was built to close. “
Keeper Forcefield is not a replacement for antivirus or EDR tools—it’s an advanced, kernel-level defense for Windows devices that prevents unauthorized memory access and credential theft before an attack can execute,” Kalseth explained. Instead of waiting to detect and respond, Forcefield blocks untrusted processes from reading protected memory inside applications like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, as well as Keeper’s own software.
Kalseth said the protection happens quietly and precisely. “Operating at the Windows kernel level, Forcefield enforces strict memory-access controls through a lightweight driver that continuously validates process names, file paths and code signatures. The result is silent, always-on protection that isolates high-value applications from credential-stealing malware, memory scrapers and advanced intrusion techniques.”
Extending Zero-Trust to the Endpoint
Forcefield doesn’t sit apart from Keeper’s broader security stack—it fits right in. “Forcefield integrates directly with Keeper Desktop, enhancing KeeperPAM workflows that use the Desktop app for tunneling, SSH-agent functions and secure remote access,” Kalseth said.
For MSSPs, that means a cleaner rollout and unified management. “For MSPs and MSSPs, deployment is simple - it supports silent installation, mass rollout via Intune or RMM tools, and built-in update channels that simplify management.”
The technology’s performance has been independently tested, too.
“Forcefield’s performance and protection have been independently validated by Vanek Security in a June 2025 evaluation,” Kalseth said. “In those tests, Forcefield was the only solution that successfully blocked both user-mode and kernel-mode memory attacks, including AI-enhanced versions of RedLine, Lumma, and Raccoon stealers, while maintaining full system responsiveness.”
Keeper is also giving partners more visibility into how Forcefield performs across their managed environments.
“Forcefield gives MSSPs a practical way to add kernel-level protection to their clients’ Windows endpoints, stopping credential theft at the source without adding management complexity,” Kalseth added. “Keeper is extending its MSP Console and Enterprise Admin Dashboard to include Forcefield telemetry and policy visibility, allowing partners to see which endpoints are protected, when blocks occur, and whether updates are current.”
For MSSPs, this is a direct, deployable way to strengthen endpoint protection and deliver measurable value to customers. Forcefield doesn’t replace antivirus - it works alongside it, filling the last major gap where memory-based attacks tend to hide.
