As a startup, you might have branded swag well before a cybersecurity strategy. And it’s not hard to understand why. Printing stickers is easy. Knowing where to start with security – the who, what, how, and why – can feel a bit more daunting. But it doesn’t have to, and is far more important to your company’s future.

If you feel like you can’t go a week without hearing about yet another data breach on the news, you’re not experiencing déjà vu. Data breaches are on the rise, and massive organizations like Solar Winds and Facebook aren’t the only ones vulnerable to attack.

The complexity of cybersecurity threats has increased over the years. Additionally, the number of attack surfaces that can be used by cybercriminals has expanded phenomenally with the rise in remote and hybrid workplace models. With such a wide scope of possible cyberthreats, there’s no single solution that can counter them all.

Many companies feel like they’ve successfully pivoted to remote and hybrid work. Team members have learned the tools and processes required to be successful outside the office, and IT departments have adjusted their security rules and policies accordingly. But now, nearly two years into the pandemic, another cybersecurity threat has emerged: employee burnout.

A unique feature of 1Password’s security is the Secret Key, but its value is often misunderstood by users and security experts alike. Instead of thinking in terms of “is it like a second factor” or “is it like a key file” it’s best to explain it in terms of what it actually does: It protects you if we were to be breached.

You don’t reuse passwords, so why are you reusing your usernames? Using a unique username does more than just protect your privacy, it also has important security benefits.

Starting today, we’re adding JumpCloud to the list of popular enterprise identity providers compatible with the 1Password SCIM bridge, making it easier for more teams to provision and manage their users.

Go, go, go, go. And then go some more. For countless small businesses, this is your reality. But breakneck productivity is not always the healthiest approach, and it often comes at the cost of security.
