Guides:Extending identity security beyond SSO and PAM

SSO, MFA, and PAM are critical, but they weren't built for modern work. Learn how to close the gap.
Extending identity security beyond SSO and PAM

You've invested in the pillars of modern security: SSO, MFA, and PAM. But these tools can't reach all the tools employees are using. That’s where 1Password Enterprise Password Manager fits in.

This guide examines the Access-Trust Gap most companies struggle with, and explores how EPM can patch this missing security layer and deliver critical outcomes, such as:

  • Faster access without risky workarounds

  • More consistent governance

  • Reduced exposure to credential-based attacks

  • Better readiness for AI work

SSO, IAM, and PAM are essential, but each is designed for specific access models. The issue is not that these tools fail. It is that they were not built to govern every credential and access scenario in a SaaS-forward, AI-powered organization.
