The company is expanding its geographic footprint, securing key customers and partners and accelerating team growth.
Toronto, June 4, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Identity security leader 1Password today announced significant expansion across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). With a strategic focus on the region, 1Password is growing its workforce, launching products tailored for the EMEA market and engaging more than 35% of the top 100 European companies. More than one-third of 1Password's B2B customers are now based in EMEA.
With the majority of security breaches (68%) still caused by human error resulting in compromised credentials, the company recently launched 1Password Extended Access Management (XAM), an industry-first solution designed to protect every login to any app from any device, addressing the needs of the modern workforce for more seamless and secure access. Currently available in the EMEA region, the solution protects user privacy and provides businesses with strong security across managed and unmanaged applications and devices, while providing visibility and insights that help meet resiliency, compliance and audit goals. 1Password, the leading enterprise password manager, strengthens identity security by providing businesses with secure access to their most sensitive information, including login credentials and SSH keys, actionable insights to address vulnerabilities, and seamless integration with existing security infrastructure.
1Password recently hired Oliver Chael as vice president of EMEA. In this role, he will oversee the company's EMEA-based team and focus on designing, developing, selling and supporting 1Password's identity and access management solutions for customers in the region. Chael most recently worked at Cisco and Duo Security, where he transformed their cybersecurity businesses by leading organizational change and building go-to-market capabilities. With over 100 employees in EMEA, 1Password is actively investing in its EMEA workforce and will be opening sales, marketing, customer success and partnership roles in the UK, Netherlands and Germany.
“I'm excited to join 1Password at such a critical time and to expand our EMEA team to better serve customers across the region,” said Oliver Cheal, vice president, EMEA. “With 1Password Extended Access Management, we're filling in the gaps left by traditional IAM solutions and revolutionizing access management. With seamless integration and a user-friendly design, we're giving IT and security teams unparalleled visibility and control, ensuring employees have the tools they need, securely, whether they're working remotely or in the office.”
Earlier this year, the company launched the 1Password Global Partner Program and 1Password® Enterprise Password Manager – MSP Edition beta to provide resellers, distributors and managed service providers (MSPs) with the tools and resources they need to strengthen security for their customers. Key strategic partners in EMEA include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Arrow Electronics, Insight Enterprises, Tap.De and SVA.
“It's incredibly exciting to see 1Password expand into EMEA. Their growth and vision have always aligned perfectly with ours, and we're pleased to be part of this journey and support their success every step of the way. By addressing a critical security gap with their new Extended Access Management (XAM) solution, 1Password is pioneering a new category of cybersecurity that ensures comprehensive protection across modern hybrid work environments, and we're pleased to be their partner,” said Ikramul Khaled, Group Head, Vendor Alliances, QBS Technology Group.
