1Password, the leader in human-centric security and privacy for businesses and consumers, launched Insights from 1Password to make it easier for businesses to gather actionable recommendations to keep employees secure and improve their overall security posture. With new tools to monitor data breaches, password vulnerabilities and team usage within shared vaults, Insights from 1Password not only identifies and reports security risks, but also provides suggested next steps and allows businesses to notify affected employees with a single click.
“To keep your employees safe and secure at work, you need to know where vulnerabilities exist in your organization,” said Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password. “Having the right policies in place is just the start. We designed Insights from 1Password to give IT and security admins broader visibility into potential security risks so businesses improve their understanding of the threats posed by employee behavior, and have clear steps to mitigate those issues.”

While Shadow IT and poor password hygiene are not new phenomena, these behaviors have dramatically escalated as workers suffer from extreme burnout in the remote and hybrid world, and leave businesses vulnerable to more security risks. According to 1Password’s recent State of Access benchmark report, ‘The Burnout Breach,’ 20% of burned-out workers feel their company’s security policies “aren’t worth the hassle.” Meanwhile, the same report reveals almost half (48%) of burned-out employees are creating, downloading or using software that hasn’t been approved by their company’s IT department.
Insights from 1Password offers a number of features that place enhanced security, visibility and control into the hands of IT and security organizations.
