growth
1Password, a leader in identity security, today announced
significant business momentum across Europe, the Middle East, and
Africa (EMEA). With a strategic focus on the region, 1Password is
expanding its workforce, launching products tailored to the EMEA
market, and securing over 35% of Europe’s Top 100 companies. Today,
over one-third of 1Password’s B2B customers are based in EMEA.
The majority (68%) of security breaches are still caused by a
human element resulting in compromised credentials, and the company
recently launched 1Password Extended Access Management (XAM), an
industry-first solution designed to secure every login to every app
from every device, addressing the modern workforce’s need for even
more seamless and secure access. Now available in the EMEA region,
this solution protects users' privacy and gives businesses strong
security across managed and unmanaged applications and devices,
while offering visibility and insights to help them meet
resilience, compliance, and audit goals. As a leading enterprise
password manager, 1Password enhances identity security by providing
businesses with secure access to their most sensitive information,
such as login credentials and SSH keys, actionable insights to
address vulnerabilities, and seamless integration with existing
security infrastructure.
1Password recently hired Oliver Cheal as Vice President, EMEA.
In this role, he will oversee the company’s EMEA-based teams that
are focused on designing, developing, selling, and supporting
1Password’s identity and access management solutions for customers
in the region. Cheal was most recently at Cisco and Duo Security
and his background is in transforming cybersecurity businesses by
leading organizational change and building out the go-to-market
function. With more than 100 employees in EMEA, 1Password is
actively investing in its EMEA workforce, with plans to open
positions across sales, marketing, customer success, and
partnerships in the UK, Netherlands, and Germany.
“I am thrilled to join 1Password at such a pivotal time and grow
our EMEA team to better serve our customers across the region,”
said Oliver Cheal, VP of EMEA. “With 1Password Extended Access
Management, we're revolutionizing access management by bridging the
gaps left by traditional IAM solutions. With its seamless
integration and user-friendly design, we are able to empower IT and
security teams with unparalleled visibility and control, ensuring
their employees can safely use the tools they need, whether working
remotely or in the office.”
Earlier this year, the company launched the 1Password Global
Partner Program and the 1Password® Enterprise Password Manager -
MSP Edition in beta to provide resellers, distributors, and Managed
Service Providers (MSPs) with the tools and resources they need to
help their customers become more secure. Key strategic partners in
EMEA include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Arrow Electronics, Insight
Enterprises, Tap.De, and SVA.
“Watching 1Password's expansion into EMEA is incredibly
exciting. Their growth and vision have always perfectly aligned
with ours, and we are thrilled to be part of this journey,
supporting their success every step of the way. By addressing
critical security gaps with their new Extended Access Management
(XAM) solution, 1Password is pioneering a new category in
cybersecurity that ensures comprehensive protection across the
modern, hybrid work environment and we are excited to be their
partner,” said Ikramul Khaled, the Group Head of Vendor Alliances
at QBS Technology Group.
