Leading Managed Service Provider (MSP) distributors aren’t just adding identity tools to their marketplace. They are redefining the criteria for partnership within their ecosystems. For years, joining a major distributor’s marketplace was primarily a commercial transaction. Submit your business details, pass some basic onboarding checks and sell away. Identity security was an afterthought, a product category rather than a partnership requirement. Those days are gone.

Password managers are among the most helpful security tools available, offering strong password generation and encrypted credential storage. However, attackers are beginning to target password managers by exploiting the device registration flow, which is the process used to verify and approve a new device before it can access a user’s vault. By brute-forcing the One-Time Passwords (OTPs) that protect this step, attackers can register unauthorized devices and download copies of encrypted vaults.

Today we're shipping a new capability directly into 1Password Device Trust that lets admins query their fleets faster, without needing to be SQL experts. Now you can describe what you want to investigate in plain English, and Device Trust generates a ready-to-run SQL query you can execute across your devices in a single click.

1Password has been recognized as a leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management Platforms.

AI agents now write code, fix bugs, and ship to production. But in order to do useful work, agents require credentials. At 1Password, one of our core AI security principles is that raw credentials should never be directly exposed to LLMs, but all too often, that’s exactly what happens: most teams sacrifice security for speed and hand agents secrets in plaintext.

Information Technology (IT) security is the practice of protecting an organization’s systems, data and networks from unauthorized access and cyber threats. It encompasses a wide range of processes, policies and technologies designed to secure everything from employee devices to cloud infrastructure.

The NIS2 Directive is the European Union’s updated cybersecurity framework, designed to improve cyber resilience across critical sectors. Building on its predecessor, the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive, NIS2 significantly expands its scope to include industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, energy, transport and managed services. NIS2 also introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements, direct accountability for senior management and defined incident reporting timelines.

"The hardest thing in security is always the chaos," according to Travis McPeak, Head of Security at Cursor. He shared this with Nancy Wang, CTO of 1Password, and Dev Tagare, Senior Director of Engineering at Google, on a recent episode of Zero-Shot Learning, the podcast about how AI gets built, secured, and deployed. "We're always going to have more that we have to be doing than we can actually do.".
