1Password Extended Access Management (XAM) serves as a robust security framework aimed at protecting logins across various applications and devices, making it particularly suitable for hybrid work settings. This solution integrates user identity verification, assessments of device trustworthiness, comprehensive password management for enterprises, and insights into application usage to guarantee that only authorized individuals on secure devices can access both sanctioned and unsanctioned applications. By offering IT and security teams a clear view of application usage, including instances of shadow IT, XAM empowers organizations to implement contextual access policies informed by real-time risk indicators such as device compliance and credential security. Adopting a zero-trust philosophy, XAM enables companies to transcend conventional identity management practices, thereby enhancing security in the modern SaaS-centric workplace. In this way, organizations can better protect sensitive information while facilitating seamless access for legitimate users.
