Secure every sign-in on any device
Employees are trying to increase their productivity while embracing the flexibility of modern work and they’re relying on apps and devices that aren’t secured by, or even visible to, IT and security teams to achieve this. With remote work, bring-your-own device (BYOD), and shadow IT becoming more common, businesses are stuck relying on traditional identity and access management (IAM) solutions – which were built for a way of work that no longer exists – to secure this new way of work.
Modern security and IT teams need to make sure every identity, device, and application is secure. Only 1Password Extended Access Management (XAM) checks every box.
What is 1Password Extended Access Management (XAM)?
XAM is a new category of security software that fills critical gaps between IAM and mobile device management (MDM) to secure the unmanaged devices and applications that today’s tools cannot see. By closing this Access Trust Gap, organizations can experience significant productivity gains and cost savings and can empower employees to be proactive about compliance and remediation.
1Password Extended Access Management is the first and only XAM solution that helps companies secure access to every application from every device in today’s SaaS-centric hybrid work environment.
Why should you care?
The landscape of work is changing:
- 47% of devices are unknown to IT or unmanaged
- 82% of businesses allow personal devices for work
- The number of apps used for work has doubled in the past five years
These changes make the goal of achieving complete access management increasingly difficult. Because security and IT teams are obligated to secure every sign-in to every application on every device, this makes Extended Access Management a necessity for a modern organization to improve its security posture.
Extended Access Management ensures that every identity is authentic, every application sign-on is secure and every device is healthy. It’s the only solution that helps companies secure access to all applications from any device in today’s SaaS-centric hybrid work environment.
Why 1Password Extended Access Management (XAM)?
1Password Extended Access Management (XAM) is the only solution that secures access to all the places sensitive business data goes, giving companies the ability to manage:
- Unsanctioned and unmanaged apps and websites (shadow IT) not secured behind single sign-on (SSO).
- Unmanaged devices unprotected by mobile device management (MDM) or outside its scope altogether (BYOD).
In addition, 1Password Extended Access Management (XAM) provides:
- Comprehensive visibility
- Combine visibility and management of identity, applications and device security into a single pane of glass
- Accelerate security remediation
- Enforce identity safeguards and make sure only trusted users on secure devices can gain access to business data
- Simplified access
- Manage access for both admins and end users for all types of applications and devices
How does it work?
- Secure every sign-in. Ensure end user authentication methods are secure, whether they access managed or unmanaged apps through single sign-on (SSO), passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA) or passkeys.
- Mitigate shadow IT risks. Gain visibility into both managed and unsanctioned SaaS apps employees are using. Analyze application usage data across corporate and bring-your-own devices.
- Ensure device health. Monitor device health and security in real-time to mitigate security risks by addressing device compliance before access occurs. Keep unknown and wounded devices away from your sensitive data. 1Password Extended Access Management checks the health of every device – even for bring-your-own devices and contractors.
- Implement contextual access management. Block access to apps until end-users have completed important security tasks such as addressing a Watchtower alert, updating their browser and fixing serious device compliance issues. 1Password XAM assists end-users in accomplishing self-serve remediation tasks without ITs help. Grant or deny access to apps based on policy, factoring in dozens of contextual signals in real-time during authentication, including the state of the device they are using, credential strength and more.
- Application visibility. Gain real-time visibility into both managed and unsanctioned SaaS apps employees are using. Analyze application usage data across corporate and bring-your-own devices. Employees use tools that make them more productive, often without IT approval. 1Password Extended Access Management gives businesses visibility into the applications their employees are actually using. When unsanctioned apps are discovered, admins can guide users towards company-approved applications or manage access to unmanaged applications.
- Self-serve remediation. Guide users through remediation with clear instructions so they can regain access quickly, without help from IT, when their access is blocked by policy due to a device health issue.
