So, you want to know about Zero Trust, huh?
Well, think of this. Instead of welcoming everyone with open arms, Zero Trust is more like a cautious detective, constantly questioning everyone's intentions. It doesn't trust anyone or anything by default, not even the friendly IT guy.
In this digital world where threats can lurk around every corner, Zero Trust is like a fortress with a moat of authentication and a drawbridge of authorization. It demands proof of identity before granting access to anything, whether it's the company's network, a sensitive document or even your own email. It's all about continuous verification, making sure everyone and everything is who and what they claim to be.
By assuming that a breach is inevitable, Zero Trust limits the damage an attacker can do, making it harder for them to move laterally and wreak havoc. So, while it might seem a bit strict, Zero Trust is about keeping your digital kingdom safe from harm.
The challenge with Zero Trust (or a hurdle some bring up) is that organizations struggle with unmanaged devices and apps, which creates a security gap.
1Password’s Extended Access Management bridges this gap by extending Zero Trust principles to unmanaged assets. It validates the health of these devices, secures shadow IT and offers granular control over access permissions. By doing so, it provides a security solution that complements traditional IAM and MDM tools and safeguards the modern, increasingly complex workforce.
Now, businesses have better access to the solution after 1Password announced a new strategic partnership with TD SYNNEX. Through the partnership, 1Password will use TD SYNNEX’s extensive distribution network and logistical and operational capabilities to allow businesses across North America to secure every sign-in to every app from every device with the Extended Access Management solution.
“Partnering with TD SYNNEX will help us scale to more businesses who aim to secure the modern workforce amidst the challenges of remote and hybrid workplaces, BYOD and unmanaged applications,” said Monica Jain, Head of Global GTM Partnerships at 1Password.
TD SYNNEX’ has a renowned cybersecurity portfolio that offers comprehensive security solutions that maximize business efficiency through reliability, scalability and flexibility. Through this partnership, 1Password and TD SYNNEX will collaborate on joint go-to-market initiatives, including co-branded marketing, shared resources and enhanced market visibility.
“TD SYNNEX is committed to uniting IT solutions that deliver business outcomes today and unlock growth for the future,” said Jim MacBride, Senior Director, Business Development, Security at TD SYNNEX. “With 1Password added to our vast portfolio, we’re able to enrich the breadth and depth of our cybersecurity offerings in a critical sector for our partners.”
