Identity security company 1Password announced the acquisition of Trelica, a modern SaaS access management pioneer. This strategic deal will accelerate the delivery of new capabilities in the 1Password Extended Access Management platform, which secures every sign-in to every app on every device.
By buying technology that enables security teams to discover and manage access to previously unknown and unmanaged apps, 1Password further solidifies its first-to-market advantage in the emerging Extended Access Management (XAM) software category.
SaaS sprawl and Shadow IT increase the risk of security breaches, leaving organizations vulnerable to unmanaged apps and unauthorized access. One in three employees use unapproved apps and tools to boost productivity, and as shadow IT has become the norm, 79% of security pros don’t feel their security protections are adequate. And Trelica’s technology addresses these risks with over 300 direct integrations with leading SaaS vendors, automating app discovery and access management to help organizations:
— Identify unmanaged apps
— Streamline user provisioning, de-provisioning, and access governance.
— Enhance adherence to security policies through workflows integrated with platforms like Slack and email.
With Shadow IT discovery capabilities from Trelica, the 1Password Extended Access Management platform will offer organizations with a repeatable framework for bringing unmanaged apps into full compliance under IT and security management while empowering employees to use the tools that enhance their productivity.
Trelica will bring advanced SaaS spend optimization and additional compliance capabilities to 1Password Extended Access Management. And the Trelica technology helps organizations optimize software licenses to uncover cost-saving opportunities, automate workflows for more intelligent resource allocation, and maintain continuous compliance with standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 through comprehensive audit trails and robust policy.
