3094: Closing the Access Trust Gap: How 1Password is Redefining Enterprise Security

How do businesses navigate the growing security risks in a world where employees work from anywhere, on any device, with apps IT departments might not even know about? In this special episode of Tech Talks Daily, recorded live at Web Summit in Lisbon, I sit down with Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password—a $6.8 billion Canadian-based security company trusted by over 100,000 businesses worldwide. Jeff shares how 1Password is redefining security through its innovative Extended Access Management platform, tackling challenges that have emerged with the rise of hybrid work, shadow IT, and the widespread adoption of SaaS tools. At a time when the “access trust gap” between employers and employees poses significant risks, Jeff outlines how businesses can close this gap by securing every sign-in, device, and app, without compromising productivity. Our conversation explores the dual role of AI in cybersecurity: both as a potential threat and as a productivity enhancer. Jeff explains how 1Password leverages generative AI to improve customer support and address evolving enterprise needs. We also discuss the future of security, from integrating seamlessly with tools like Azure AD and Slack to meeting the growing demand for user-friendly solutions that employees willingly adopt—creating a win-win for both individuals and organizations. With a focus on making security intuitive, reducing friction for users, and empowering businesses to thrive in today’s fast-paced digital environment, Jeff provides invaluable insights into how 1Password is shaping the future of enterprise security. As we delve into these pressing topics, one key question remains: how can companies balance security and productivity in an ever-evolving threat landscape? Let me know your thoughts, and stay tuned for more conversations from Web Summit!
