Keeper Forcefield: Windows Endpoint Protection

Overview

Keeper Forcefield is an advanced endpoint security feature for Microsoft Windows that protects sensitive applications and processes from unauthorized access. It is specifically designed to defend against threats such as infostealers and password-stealing malware installed from phishing or other attacks.

Forcefield is bundled with the Keeper Desktop application for Windows and operates silently in the background to ensure data protection without impacting performance or usability.

Getting Started

Installing Keeper Forcefield via Keeper Desktop

To activate Forcefield from the Keeper Desktop application, install the latest Keeper Desktop App.

After installation:

• Navigate to Settings > Security in Keeper Desktop

• Visit the Forcefield screen and activate the service.

Once enabled, Forcefield will immediately begin protecting your computer.

Status and Updates

The system tray provides a Forcefield status icon and the ability to check for a new version. Keeper will check on a daily basis for a new version, but the update must be explicitly installed by the user.
