Known for their private, secure, and user-friendly password manager, 1Password protects the data businesses all over the world. The new features will help businesses fortify their defenses against 89 percent of breaches that result from outside attacks.
“Large, complex organizations use 1Password Business, and many of them have specialist security and governance requirements.

Guard against breaches and unauthorized access.
Data breaches are getting more significant and more costly. According to a report by IBM, the average cost of a data breach has risen from $3.50 million in 2014 to $3.86 million in 2018 — representing nearly 10 percent net increase over the past five years of the study.
With high-profile breaches hitting the headlines weekly, and stricter data protection laws like the GDPR coming into action, businesses are looking for security solutions that are scalable, compliant, quick to deploy, and make an immediate difference.
1Password keeps businesses data safe with award-winning apps that create, save, and fill passwords and other sensitive information.
1Password now integrates with Okta and Active Directory, so businesses can efficiently deploy this critical update using the systems they already have in place.
The newly added 1Password Advanced protection features extra lines of defense. These fortifications are giving enterprises the power to exercise tighter control over the ways employees can access passwords and sensitive information in their own companies and businesses.
