1Password expands its Extended Access Management platform with Agentic AI Security. New features are designed to securely manage the identity and access control of autonomous AI agents in enterprises.
1Password expands its Extended Access Management (XAM) platform with the integration of security tailored for AI agents. The platform aims to provide companies with the ability to centrally manage identities and credentials for autonomous AI agents. As AI agents can now perform tasks independently, 1Password believes security platforms must adapt accordingly.
Traditional identity and access management solutions are, of course, designed for human users. However, AI agents also require access to sensitive systems. The new features within Agentic AI Security are intended to help companies manage AI usage securely, without limiting development speed or scalability.
Not Hardcoded
AI agents require access to systems, passwords, and sensitive data to perform tasks. Often, this is currently done with hardcoded secrets or shared credentials, leading to increased security risks. 1Password aims to close this gap through, among other things, a new SDK and service accounts. These allow developers to build AI workflows that securely store, retrieve, and rotate secrets during runtime.
Organizations can thus dynamically apply access rights and maintain visibility of machine identities and their activities within a zero trust framework. 1Password’s Enterprise Password Manager securely stores AI agents’ secrets and logs interactions for auditing purposes.
With Agentic AI Security, 1Password aims to support enterprises in this transition. By combining policy, automation, and visibility, the company targets the secure integration of AI agents into existing business processes. 1Password continues to expand and update its security capabilities. The company recently launched location-based passwords for (human) users.
