Identity security firm 1Password announced the purchase of Trelica, which focuses on modern SaaS access management.
This transaction will accelerate the delivery of new capabilities in the 1Password extended access management (XAM) platform, which secures app sign-ins on any device. By acquiring technology that enables security teams to discover and manage access to previously unknown and unmanaged apps, 1Password is expected to solidify its first-to-market advantage in the emerging XAM software category.
“Trelica’s technology and approach align perfectly with our mission to unleash employee productivity without compromising security,” said Jeff Shiner, 1Password co-CEO. “The acquisition of Trelica accelerates our path to delivering the full potential of our Extended Access Management platform, which ensures that employees’ devices, identities, and apps are trusted before access is granted—all without increasing complexity or IT overhead.”
Trelica’s technology addresses risks found in over 300 direct integrations, with leading SaaS vendors, automating app discovery and access management to help organizations:
- Identify unmanaged apps across the organization.
- Streamline user provisioning, de-provisioning and access governance.
- Enhance adherence to security policies through user-friendly workflows that are integrated with platforms such as Slack and email.
With Trelica shadow IT discovery capabilities, the 1Password XAM platform will provide organizations with a repeatable framework for bringing unmanaged apps into full compliance under IT and security management while empowering employees to use productivity-enhancing tools.
“Joining 1Password opens up incredible possibilities to address the critical security challenges organizations face,” said Iain McGhee, the co-founder of Trelica. “We’re excited to join 1Password in the mission to secure the modern workforce by enabling employees to safely use the apps they need, while empowering security teams with the visibility, automated onboarding and offboarding and access governance and controls required to protect their organization.”
Trelica will also bring advanced SaaS spend optimization and additional compliance capabilities to 1Password XAM. The Trelica technology helps organizations optimize software licenses to uncover cost-saving opportunities, automate workflows for smarter resource allocation and maintain continuous compliance with standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 through comprehensive audit trails and robust policy.
