1password and AWS joins the efforts of artificial intelligence, cloud environments for the institution

1passwordThe Canadian Traffic Management Company announced on Monday a strategic cooperation agreement with Amazon web services This puts the company in a position that allows it to benefit from the high demand for institutions on security tools designed for artificial intelligence and the original cloud environments.

The partnership is a major teacher for 1passwordWho turned from the director of the password that focuses on the consumer to a safety platform for the institution that serves a third of the Fortune 100 companies. Cooperation comes at a time when organizations are increasingly fighting to secure artificial intelligence agents, unauthorized devices and unauthorized applications that traditional safety tools cannot monitor or control.

Monica Jin, head of the 1password, Venturebeat, told Monica Jin, in an exclusive interview that AWS cooperation has achieved explosive growth over the past 18 months. The contracts that are sold through AWS have been sold four times more than model deals, as winning rates exceed 50 percent across all sectors of customers from small companies to large institutions.

“According to the AWS ISV partner team, in late 2024, they witnessed that 1password had reached a level of progress that they did not see in the other ISVS,” Jin told Venturebeat: “Within seven months, most ISVS takes about 24 to 36 months to reach the point we got in a very short period of time.”

Strategic Cooperation Agreement, or SCA, 1password The first Canadian independent program seller to secure such partnership with AWS. Amazon rarely enters these agreements, and usually keeps companies that create new categories in the market in line with the AWS strategy that focuses on security.

Its shadow and uninterrupted devices create huge blind security spots for institutions

The fast 1password growth stems from its approach to what the company calls “”End of confidence gap– The security risks created when employees use personal devices, unauthorized applications and artificial intelligence tools to access the company’s data without supervision.

Traditional safety tools such as identity management and access systems usually judge the applications that are officially approved by IT departments. However, research shows only about 50 percent of well -known applications It is actually combined with corporate security systems, while IT departments remain unaware of most of the applications that employees already use.

“Today’s employees work from anywhere, a wide range of applications is used, and a wide range of devices are used to complete the work,” explained Jin. “What happens often is that when people use these applications or devices, they are usually outside the vision of the IT organization.”

This creates successive security risks. When the employee shares sensitive information through the non -approval file sharing service and the recipient reaches this on a personal device without Authenticity or Protect the end pointThe company’s data becomes vulnerable to multiple attack tankers simultaneously.

Jain explained the problem in a concrete example: “Imagine if I sent you sensitive information in the sharing tool approved by uncomfortable, and I have reached it using your personal device. I have no idea at all whether the device you use contains a multi -factor authentication, discover the end point and install the response, or whether the file sharing platform is safe and not out of exit.”

Artificial intelligence automation tools lack

The partnership is urgent as institutions quickly publish artificial intelligence agents to automate business. Unlike human users, artificial intelligence factors usually lack standard safety measures such as multi -factor authentication, rather than relying on common secrets or symbolized accreditation data that creates significant weaknesses.

“Agency AI is no longer a future concept,” said Jin. “The risk of security and artificial intelligence is increasing in each institution, and it converts how companies work.”

1password’s Extension access management This platform is dealt with by dealing with artificial intelligence agents with the same security rigor, such as human identities while maintaining speed and automation that makes artificial intelligence valuable. The platform eliminates the secrets made of solid, imposes less access to a minimum, and provides a vision in the activity of the artificial intelligence agent.

The approach is different from traditional safety tools that focus on the well -known systems. Instead, the 1password platform secures what the company calls “”I managed and unprecedented“Devices, applications and artificial intelligence agents that cannot access and access tools to manage old identity and access tools.

New Aws Secrets Manager Integration simplify the functioning of the original cloud development work

As part of the expanded partnership, 1password presented on Monday the integration of new secrets with AWS Secrets DirectorTime to coincide with AWS replies: InforceThe first security conference in Amazon. Integration simplifies how development teams manage sensitive accreditation data in the original cloud environments.

Integration allows institutions to unify the management of secrets, impose control control controls, and to include addressing the effects of safe accreditation directly in the progress of development work, including the interfaces of the orders line, the continuous integration lines and automation operating on behalf.

“As a quick-motion agency, flexibility is everything-but not at the expense of security,” said Ivan Blajdan, chief technology in Convertiv, a 1password client. “We give us the extensive access management from WaspassWord as a real time that each device reaches sensitive data-whether personal or issued by the company-is our standards about confidence.”

Technical integration treats a decisive pain point for developers who traditionally struggled to manage secrets safely without slowing the speed of development. By including safe access directly to the current workflow, the platform eliminates the comparison between the security and the productivity that has plagued many organizations.

The 1password partnership strategy helps to compete against Microsoft and Google safety tools

the AWS cooperation 1password to compete more effectively against technology giants such as Microsoft and GoogleWhich collects identity management tools with their productivity wings. However, Jin emphasized that 1password follows an approach to the first partnership instead of direct competition.

“We are not competing,” Jin said. “We are integrating with the tools that microsoft may provide to customers. We are working with partners like AWS who have great influence in the security space.”

This strategy seems to be working. 1PassWord now secures more than 165,000 companies and a million consumers, with 75 percent of revenues from business customers compared to only 25 percent of consumers – a major transformation from the company’s consumer assets.

The growth path was consistent in all sectors of the market, indicating that the 1Password security challenges affect institutions regardless of size. This widespread appeal captured the AWS’s attention, which looks at 1password as a completely new market category.

“AWS does not enter SCAS slightly,” Jain explained. “They are not only signed with any ISV that puts their hands and says:” We would like to enter SCA with you. “They are very deliberate about those who invest in it, and these investments are usually made for companies that do different things.”

Enterprise Security Market Evolution creates a huge growth opportunity for access management platforms

The AWS Partnership speeds up the development of 1Password from the password manager to what the company calls Extension access management platform. This new category deals with safety gaps that cannot reach the traditional identity of identity management, access, management and management of identity and portable device management tools.

Leading companies including Elderlyand Associated Pressand Canvaand IBMand Mongodband Octopusand Recessionand SalesforceAnd tape Dependence on 1Password to secure managed and unprecedented devices, applications and artificial intelligence agents who reach sensitive companies data.

When asked about the biggest competitive threat to 1Password, Jin noted in instead of external competitors: “The biggest threat to us is ourselves and the extent of the speed of ensuring that our customers are safe, and customers whom we have not touched today are also safe. The biggest threat to us is the time and unification to be able to reach these customers in time.”

The 1Password Convention provides access to the global scale, leadership programs and joint initiatives to accelerate the market expansion. Jin is expected to multiply the partnership with the company’s current revenue rate by five to seven times.

She said: “Regardless of our revenue operating rate today, we expect the operating rate, if not five, six, or six times, is higher by working with AWS.”

For AWS, the partnership enhances its security portfolio as it increases comprehensive access management institutions for hybrid and AI. The timing seems appropriate as institutions adopt artificial intelligence automation and become always remotely, which puts both companies to take advantage of the increasing demand for institutions on comprehensive safety solutions to reach.
