Lean teams are under constant pressure to move faster: more SaaS, more automations, and more AI woven into daily work. People sign in more often, across more apps, on more devices, and they’re rewarded for speed, not caution.

Many organisations take a phased approach to deploying password managers, starting with IT and security teams and planning to expand later. This approach is often shaped by practical constraints such as budgets, licensing and the need to balance competing priorities. Partial cybersecurity coverage leaves organisations exposed to breach paths that are actively exploited.

There’s a moment every IT and security team recognises. You’ve done the hard work: rolled out SSO, tightened access policies, and moved sensitive tools behind stronger authentication. On paper, it looks like progress.

For security and IT professionals, the past decade has brought a series of tectonic shifts that have toppled old assumptions and created new opportunities. First, the SaaS revolution destroyed the paradigm of an IT-governed corporate network. Next, COVID-19 forever altered how and where work gets done. Then, the biggest shockwave of them all arrived: AI-based tools that are rewriting the very definition of “identity.”

As organizations rely more on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to power critical operations, the infrastructure supporting AI development and deployment is becoming a high-value target for cybercriminals. From model training and data pipelines to cloud workloads and APIs, AI operations rely on access to privileged credentials and critical systems.

Since 1Password began, we have built security into the places where work actually happens. Security is not treated as an overlay or a separate workflow, we build directly into the browser, command lines, developer tools, and IDEs, where decisions are made and actions take place. We believe that if you want to improve security outcomes, you build where the work happens, making the secure path the simplest one.

Teams, friends and family members often need to share access to accounts, but traditional methods like email, text messages or screenshots expose sensitive information and create lasting risk. Keeper’s One-Time Share works by creating a secure, device-bound link that allows temporary access to a record while keeping credentials encrypted and fully protected. This approach enables fast, secure sharing without requiring the recipient to create a Keeper account or gain ongoing access to your vault.
