1Password, an identity security firm, established a strategic distribution agreement with Ingram Micro, a global tech distributor. This partnership – which will leverage Ingram Micro resellers, SIs and service providers – is designed to extend the reach of 1Password’s Extended Access Management to business customers across North America. By combining Ingram Micro’s sales and technical resources with 1Password identity security, businesses can extend access management beyond traditional tools, securing unmanaged apps and devices in complex IT environments.
“Businesses today are grappling with an ‘Access-Trust Gap’ – the security risks posed by unmanaged devices and applications accessing company data without proper governance controls,” said 1Password VP of channel sales and alliances. “Working with Ingram Micro will accelerate our go-to-market strategy and enable more businesses to access 1Password Extended Access Management so they can close that gap. With Ingram Micro’s proven security expertise and expansive market reach, this agreement expedites our expansion in North America and empowers our mutual channel partners to secure their customers’ access points with greater confidence.”
With the Extended Access Management’s debut earlier this year, 1Password addresses a critical gap in today’s hybrid work environments: securing unmanaged apps and devices. The release allows businesses to secure shadow IT, verify device health and gain insight and control into securing the modern workforce.
Ingram Micro offers end-to-end security solutions and services, including assessment, strategy, monitoring and remediation. This agreement expands the global technology distributor’s security portfolio to include 1Password identity security solutions that meet customer need, regardless of company size or industry sector.
“1Password Extended Access Management is a business-critical security solution, particularly as the shift to hybrid work and the constantly evolving threat landscape present significant challenges,” said Adam Bellows, U.S. executive director and category leader, networking and security, Ingram Micro. “This agreement with 1Password reflects our commitment to equipping resellers with cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, enabling them to address their customers’ unique business needs and deliver stronger, more resilient security outcomes.”
