Kolide by 1Password

Today marks a defining moment for the future of the identity and access management space. ?? Allow us to introduce 1Password? Extended Access Management (XAM)! ?? 1Password and Kolide’s joint vision represents a unique, optimistic, and human-centric approach to solving the very real struggles and pain points of IT and Security teams--finally providing the ability to confidently say "yes!" to employee requests while keeping the company safe. For those wondering, Kolide’s Device Trust product is the central pillar of 1Password? XAM. So it's not going anywhere, especially with new support options for Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra rolling out this summer! ?? But to learn what XAM is all about, we'll let Jason Meller explain. Read his blog today: https://lnkd.in/gaxsAx2k

If you are in Security IT and worried about your employees using ChatGPT's new Mac app, you aren't alone. ?? By default, ChatGPT will use the data you send it to train its AI models if users use their personal workspace. ?? The Mac app makes it even easier to inadvertently share proprietary and confidential data (e.g., taking a screenshot of an open web browser and sending it for analysis). ?? While companies can pay for "Organization Workspaces" and create policies that ask their employees to use them, ChatGPT encourages a model where users can switch between Personal & Company workspaces (and inevitably forget to change them back). ?? There isn't a tool out there that allows employees to safely use this app while keeping the company's data safe. I am extremely bullish on AI, and it kills me that many IT and Security leaders are already discussing how they are going to block this ChatGPT app outright. This works in the short-term, but it creates a new problem: users who desperately want to use these tools are incentivized to actively subvert company policy to compete in the workplace. Let's try something else. With 1Password XAM (formerly Kolide by 1Password), we have just introduced a new Device Check for this new ChatGPT app that allows you to have the best of both worlds. ?? Allows your users to safely use the new ChatGPT App. ?? Ensures they have signed into an account associated with one of the organization's allowed OpenAI workspaces (which will not train the OpenAI models.) ?? If a user switches their context to send queries to their personal account, it reminds them to switch it back to the company workspace right away. ?? If they don't listen after a warning, 1Password XAM blocks the device from accessing the company's critical apps. We are excited to be contributing tools to the world that will hasten companies' ability to create and enforce nuanced AI policies.

??? Big News from 1Password & Kolide! ?? I’m super excited to announce a major development in Kolide’s journey at 1Password.?Today, we’re announcing 1Password? Extended Access Management (XAM), a human-first approach to identity and access management that extends its capabilities to account for how people _really_ work. ?? Read Kolide’s announcement: https://lnkd.in/gkhuivvN Joining 1Password just a few months ago, I knew we were poised to do something big together, but the pace and impact have been astonishing. At RSAC this year, I will join the other 1Password leaders to proudly share our joint vision on bridging the significant “Access-Trust Gap” that plagues today’s IT environments. Why focus on XAM? It’s simple: existing IAM systems are falling short. They don’t accommodate the ways people want to work and are working. XAM isn’t about just managing—it’s about empowering. It recognizes the realities of unmanaged SaaS apps and devices and offers solutions so IT can say “YES” more often to their users while also keeping the company and its data safe. Highlights of 1Password? Extended Access Management: ? User-friendly Credential Management ? Real-time Insights into Shadow IT ? Robust Device Trust Capabilities ?? Learn more about what XAM brings to the table and consider how it can revolutionize your organizational security. We’re eager to hear what you think! #1Password #Kolide #Cybersecurity #IdentityManagement #TechInnovation #FutureOfWork

Tomorrow, April 30th, is “Honesty Day.” So we’ll be honest–we know webinars aren’t the most exciting events in the world. We also know that “device trust” is a term that’s been getting thrown around a lot in IT/Security circles, but nobody wants to talk about the nitty-gritty details of rolling it out at your company. So, if you want an honest and thorough overview of how to make device trust work for your team, we have a webinar for you. “Managing access based on device trust and health,” on April 30 at 12 pm ET. We’ll be talking about everything teams need to know about implementing device trust. And in honor of honesty day, we promise that this webinar will be all substance, with practical advice and minimal fluff guaranteed. https://lnkd.in/ent6FeHv #infosec #devicetrust

?? Oof–this story’s a useful reminder that MFA alone won’t keep your systems safe. Bad actors are out there putting the “phony” in “telephony.” ?? (And if you want to know how secure different auth methods are, check out our write-up: https://lnkd.in/ekYWfu6V).

A lot of compliance guidelines have new vulnerability management requirements–and deadlines are coming faster than you think. https://lnkd.in/eg6FVyzE
