The way we work has forever changed. The way we protect that work should too.
Hybrid work, an abundance of SaaS, and the urgency to increase productivity have resulted in an irreversible trend of employees bringing a multitude of unmanaged applications and devices into their work environments.
Balancing security and productivity has never been harder
Security and IT are obligated to secure every sign-in to every application on every device. With the rapid increase in unmanaged applications and devices – often unknown to security or IT – too many sign-ins are unsecured and too much data is at risk.
Securing access to only managed applications is no longer enough
Identity and access management (IAM) secures managed applications. But what about the rest? In today’s environment, businesses must extend beyond IAM to also secure the unmanaged applications and devices that have become integral to the way they work.
Businesses need to close their Access Trust Gap
Traditional tools can only secure sign-ins to managed applications, which are just a fraction of the applications in use. What’s left are unsecured sign-ins to unmanaged applications, which creates a big Access-Trust Gap.
The Access-Trust Gap is the percentage of all sign-ins to business applications that are untrusted – either because employees are signing in to unmanaged applications or because they’re signing in from untrusted devices. The larger the Access-Trust Gap, the greater the risk of a data breach.
The Access-Trust Gap keeps growing
The changing landscape of work is putting the goal of complete access management increasingly out of reach.

Introducing Extended Access Management (XAM)
Extended Access Management (XAM) extends beyond traditional IAM to secure the unmanaged apps and devices that are commonplace at work.
XAM allows employees to use the tools they need to be productive, while ensuring that access is secure across identity, device used, app accessed, and location.
Every identity is authentic
Validate the identities and permissions of your entire workforce and manage the full user lifecycle from end to end.
Every app is secure
Provide secure access to every application. The ones secured with SSO or otherwise managed by IT – and the unmanaged apps known as shadow IT.
Every device is healthy
Block access to corporate resources from unhealthy devices – including personal devices – to simplify and expand compliance.
Secure every sign-in
Sign in from any location on any device regardless of whether they involve single sign-on (SSO), passwords, multi-factor authentication, or passwordless/passkeys.
Extend access policies to every device
Grant or deny access to apps based on dozens of contextual signals, including the state of the device they are using, credential strength, and more.
Leave no credentials behind
Secure every credential across managed and unmanaged apps and websites, with a user experience loved by millions since 2005, and trusted by more than 150,000 businesses.

Extended Access Management (XAM) FAQs
What is the difference between Extended Access Management and identity access management (IAM)?
Extended Access Management addresses the limitations of today’s IAM systems, which only secure managed applications and don’t ensure the health of devices used to access applications. Extended Access Management extends the security and convenience of IAM by delivering the capabilities to manage access to the unsanctioned applications that IAM cannot protect, and to ensure the health of the unmanaged devices that IAM cannot block from accessing important business applications and data.
