The article presents 1Password SaaS Manager as an alternative with AI spend and consumption tracking, SaaS discovery beyond SSO, access governance, and lifecycle automation. ### Source excerpt On August 2, 2026, Productiv told customers its SaaS management platform was shutting down on August 6, with account data deleted once access ended. Four days is not much time to pull years of app inventory, spend, and usage data out of a system you've come to depend on, especially with AI tools now adding a fast-moving new layer of spend and access to track on top of everything else. If you're facing that deadline, or just taking stock of what you'd do if your own platform disappeared tomorrow, here's why 1Password SaaS Manager is the strongest place to land. A Leader you can build on 1Password SaaS Manager is a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS Management Platforms, for both Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. That recognition reflects work we've been doing deliberately since acquiring Trelica in 2025. We've brought AI and SaaS discovery into our broader Unified Access platform, alongside the credentials, identities, and access controls that secure every application in a portfolio. Built for how AI and SaaS actually get used today We recently launched AI Spend and Consumption Management inside SaaS Manager, giving IT and finance teams a normalized view of AI token usage by vendor, team, and model, with burn-rate alerts before prepaid budgets run out. AI is quickly becoming the least governed, fastest-growing corner of the software portfolio, and we built that governance directly into SaaS Manager rather than bolting it on as a separate tool. It's one of several capabilities that set SaaS Manager apart: Discovery that goes beyond SSO: SaaS Manager continuously discovers apps across identity providers, SSO logs, finance systems, browser extensions, and 1Password Enterprise Password Manager vaults, surfacing the unmanaged SaaS and shadow AI tools that SSO-only discovery misses. Governance you can act on: Discovery is anchored to credentials and sign-ins, so IT can revoke access and enforce strong authentication even for apps outside SSO, ## Introducing 1Password Privileged Access: Zero standing privileges for every identity DevFeed: [Introducing 1Password Privileged Access: Zero standing privileges for every identity]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: info@1password.com (Rom Carmel) Published: 2026-07-28T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Blog on 1Password Blog]() Topics: [Unified Access](), [IAM](), [AWS IAM](), [Security](), [Authorization](), [Cloud](), [cloud-infrastructure](), [Databases](), [Kubernetes](), [Artificial Intelligence]() Tags: [ai](), [ai-agents](), [aws](), [cloud](), [cloud-infrastructure](), [databases](), [iam](), [identity](), [kubernetes](), [news](), [security](), [unified-access]() ### AI overview 1Password Privileged Access introduces just-in-time access for human and agent identities across cloud and hybrid environments, databases, and Kubernetes. It aims to eliminate standing privileges by granting task-scoped access when needed and automatically removing it when work is complete. ### Source excerpt Here's a moment that comes up in nearly every compliance review: a security engineer pulls a list of IAM roles in the AWS environment. The list is long. Some roles were created for a migration project that closed two quarters ago, a few belong to contractors who haven't worked there in over a year, and others are attached to agentic identities without any way to see which human they were acting on behalf of. There's no ticket to clean them up, no alert when the access outlived its purpose, and no record of who approved it in the first place. That's standing access in practice; that long list of overprovisioned IAM roles is simply the product of how access has always been provisioned. Admins create it when the work starts, then rely on someone else to clean it up when it's done. But the cleanup rarely happens. The gap between the access granted and the access that's actually needed becomes the gap that shows up in audit findings, and that attackers learn to exploit. That problem has grown harder to manage as AI agents have joined human engineers in operating on production infrastructure. Agents don't request access through a ticket queue. They act continuously, respond to changing inputs, and can be steered in ways that static standing permissions were never designed to contain. Governing agents with the same legacy PAM tools built for human logins carries the risk forward instead of containing it. That's why we're introducing 1Password Privileged Access. It brings Apono's proven just-in-time access engine into the 1Password Unified Access platform, eliminating standing privileges for both human and agent identities across cloud and hybrid environments, databases, and Kubernetes. Access is created at the moment of the request, scoped to the task, and deprovisioned automatically when the work is done. Standing access became the default, and the cost kept growing Cloud infrastructure can change by the hour. New services get spun up, roles get reshuffled, and permission ## The data platform 1Password needed didn't exist. So we built it. DevFeed: [The data platform 1Password needed didn't exist. So we built it.]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: info@1password.com (Wayne Duso; Mandy Gu; and Amie Bright) Published: 2026-07-22T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Blog on 1Password Blog]() Topics: [data](), [Data Infrastructure](), [data-governance](), [real-time](), [Unified Access](), [Artificial Intelligence]() Tags: [agentic](), [ai](), [building-1password](), [data](), [data-governance](), [data-infrastructure](), [developers](), [real-time](), [sql](), [systems](), [unified-access](), [workflows]() ### AI overview 1Password describes building an internal data platform to make business data accessible, trustworthy, and available in real time across product, finance, engineering, analytics, SQL, APIs, dashboards, and AI workflows. The effort addresses bottlenecks caused by a centralized data lake, bespoke pipelines, and tightly coupled storage, governance, and compute. ### Source excerpt Consider a few tasks that take place across every business, every day: A product team ships a feature and wants to know if customers are using it successfully. A finance team needs customer and account information for planning. An analyst needs definitions to create a report. An AI assistant needs operational context to answer a business question. Those sound like different workflows, but they all rely on the same underlying data. And each one of these actors, across each of these teams, needs that data to be both accessible and trustworthy. At 1Password, trust is at the center of everything we build. Millions of people and businesses rely on us to protect the credentials, secrets, and access workflows that power modern work. The same principle applies to our own internal data. As our products, systems, and use of AI evolved, data became a shared dependency across the business. It powers everything from Unified Access andsecure agentic access patterns for customers, to the workflows used by product, finance, and engineering teams. As those systems grew, so did the number of people and applications that depended on our internal data. But our data infrastructure did not respond well to this. We had built a centralized data lake supported by a growing collection of bespoke data pipelines and one-off solutions. Each new use case required another integration or transformation. Over time, the data platform became a bottleneck: teams turned to CSVs to move faster, and data engineers spent more time maintaining pipelines than enabling new capabilities. What we learned was that manually moving data was no longer enough. Data needs to be available in real time, accessible wherever it's needed, and trusted through the forms our customers need, whether that is through SQL, APIs, dashboards or AI workflows. Privacy and governance need to be built into data the moment it's created so every downstream use remains secure and unambiguous by design. This is the foundation we're build ## Welcoming Apono to 1Password DevFeed: [Welcoming Apono to 1Password]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: info@1password.com (David Faugno) Published: 2026-06-15T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Blog on 1Password Blog]() Topics: [Security](), [Unified Access](), [Artificial Intelligence](), [cloud-infrastructure](), [Software as a service](), [Device Trust]() Tags: [ai](), [ai-agents](), [cloud](), [enterprise](), [identity](), [infrastructure](), [news](), [saas](), [secrets](), [security](), [unified-access]() ### AI overview 1Password announces its acquisition of Apono to expand 1Password Unified Access with just-in-time privileged access governance. The article explains that growing numbers of machine identities and AI agents require continuously verified, consistently governed access across enterprise environments. ### Source excerpt Over the past two decades, 1Password has earned the trust of millions of people, more than one million developers, and over 180,000 businesses by helping them secure one of the most fundamental elements of digital life: identity. Today, I'm thrilled to share that 1Password has acquired Apono, and I want to explain why this matters so much to us. Identity is changing. For years, the model was straightforward. Humans logged in, systems responded. Credentials verified who you were, and access controls determined what you could reach. That world is changing quickly. Software is now acting on our behalf. Machine identities far outnumber human identities. AI agents are beginning to retrieve data, execute workflows, provision resources, and make decisions across enterprise environments. The number of actors inside organizations is growing fast, and the systems governing identity and access were not built for this new reality. This is what we hear from customers every day. Businesses of all sizes and their security teams are struggling to get the full leverage of their AI investments while managing the risks brought about by non-deterministic agents accessing critical systems. Organizations want to move faster with AI, but they need confidence that every identity, whether it belongs to a person, a machine, or an agent, is continuously verified and governed consistently. They need to know not only who is requesting access, but what that identity should be allowed to do, under what conditions, and for how long. That challenge is exactly where Apono fits. 1Password has long been the vault that enterprises and their users relied upon to keep their secrets safe. With Apono, we become the access layer. For 1Password Unified Access, this is an important step forward. We already help organizations secure credentials, manage access to SaaS applications, strengthen device trust, and broker credentials at the moment they are needed.

It highlights 1Password Unified Access, a platform for discovering, securing, and auditing access across humans, agents, and machine identities, along with conference discussions about AI safety, security safeguards, breaches, and incident response. ### Source excerpt Every year, security and tech leaders come to the RSA conference in San Francisco to take the industry's pulse, and every RSAC tends to be dominated by a single, overarching theme. Last year, the theme was: "AI agents are coming, and governance isn't ready." And sure enough, the theme of RSAC 2026 was: "AI agents are here, and governance needs to catch up." Throughout the conference, security practitioners, vendors, and analysts were all asking the same questions: How can we enable a culture of agentic AI builders, without compromising on bedrock security principles? How can we mitigate the potential for AI agents to behave unsafely, either via malicious compromise or their own nondeterministic nature? What are the most impactful safeguards every organization should be putting into place to secure AI and automation in the next year? 1Password provided answers to those urgent questions at RSA. Prior to the event, we announced the release of 1Password® Unified Access, a new platform that helps teams discover, secure, and audit access across humans, agents, and machine identities, so organizations can adopt AI confidently and securely. At RSA, 1Password leaders spoke on panels, met with customers, discussed what's next in agentic security with industry analysts and press, and demoed our products for booth visitors. Here's a look at the highlights. Day 1 of RSA: Booth conversations and customer appreciation The 1Password booth was buzzing with RSAC attendees eager to learn about how our latest product releases could address their security needs. They experimented with interactive demos of our products, which you can check out for yourself: 1Password Unified Access 1Password Enterprise Password Manager 1Password SaaS Manager Monday night, 1Password leaders hosted a customer appreciation happy hour, where everyone enjoyed the chance to unwind, swap stories, and discuss the shared future for 1Password and our customers.
