1Password Extended Access Management: Secure Every Sign-In for Every App on Every Device [WWDC Sponsor]
In a perfect world, end users would only work on managed devices with IT-approved apps. But every day, employees use personal devices and unapproved apps that aren’t protected by MDM, IAM, or any other security tool.
There’s a giant gap between the security tools we have and the way we actually work. 1Password calls it the Access-Trust Gap, and they’ve also created the first ever solution to fill it.
1Password Extended Access Management secures every sign-in for every app on every device. It includes the password manager you know and love, and the device trust solution you’ve probably heard of on this podcast, back when it was called Kolide.
1Password Extended Access Management cares about user experience and privacy, which means it can go places other tools can’t–like personal and contractor devices. It ensures that every device is known and healthy, and every login is protected. So stop trying to ban BYOD or Shadow IT, and start protecting them with 1Password Extended Access Management.
Our thanks to 1Password for sponsoring our WWDC coverage this week.
