and IT teams without the ability to prevent sensitive data from flowing into unmanaged applications or block compromised devices from accessing critical applications ,” said Jeff Shiner , CEO , 1Password . “ Businesses everywhere are facing the Access Trust Gap , a measure of the percentage of total sign-ins that aren ’ t trusted .

Extended Access Management is a new category of security software that closes the Access Trust Gap in the Identity and Access Management landscape . The first comprehensive solution to provide end users with a seamless authentication experience across all applications and devices , 1Password Extended Access Management enables organisations to better secure themselves , realise significant productivity gains and cost savings and empower employees to be proactive about compliance and remediation .
