1Password Announce Launch of Unlock with Single Sign-On for Enterprise Customers

1Password, the frontrunner in human-centric security and privacy, recently announced the launch of Unlock with Single Sign-On (SSO). Now, enterprise customers can unlock their 1Password accounts using Okta with Duo and Azure AD to follow in the coming months. With deeper integrations into existing IT workflows, Unlock with SSO enables IT teams to improve their security posture while minimizing the everyday difficulties and stress associated with employee logins.

Steve Won, Chief Product Officer at 1Password, said, "Securing employees at scale is no small task. At 1Password, we believe that the foundation of enterprise security is secure employees, and we're driven by the principle that the safe thing must be easy by default." He added, "SSO plays a central role in enterprise security. Unlock with SSO was designed with a trusted device model, so that even if a user's identity provider credentials are compromised, 1Password ensures attackers won't be able to access customers' vault."

In a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study commissioned and published by 1Password, Forrester Consulting revealed that a composite organization comprised of companies with experience using 1Password experienced a 206% return on investment (ROI) and a benefit of $1.3 million over three years. Unlock with SSO enhances employee and IT efficiency and productivity, where the return on investment is most evident.

Unlock with SSO is intended to integrate with existing workflows and assist organizations in securing their employees across any authentication process of their choosing. Fully integrated solutions, such as 1Password, consolidate authentication in a single location to complete the security architecture of a company.

Banyan Security Introduces World’s First Device-Centric Security Service Edge (SSE) Solution

Globenewswire | April 05, 2023

Banyan Security, a leading provider of zero trust access solutions for the modern workforce, is proud to announce the launch of its innovative Device-Centric Security Service Edge (SSE) solution. Banyan’s offering delivers a comprehensive range of integrated security measures to safeguard the modern workforce – including Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Virtual Private Network as a Service (VPNaaS), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Secure Web Gateway (SWG) – all in a unified product that is simple to implement and boosts employee productivity. Unlike traditional security products focused on the network perimeter, Banyan’s device-centric SSE brings the user and device to the forefront of protection, enabling intelligent, risk-based connectivity and threat detection. Working in concert with the Banyan Cloud permits consistent policy enforcement without needing to route all enterprise traffic through vendor data centers or expensive on-premise appliances, which significantly improves the user experience. Moreover, Banyan’s device-centric approach treats clientless scenarios as first-class citizens, enabling seamless access combined with granular policy controls. “The launch of our device-centric Security Service Edge solution marks a major milestone for our company, delivering on the idea of enabling workers to securely do their job from anywhere” said Jayanth Gummaraju, CEO and Co-founder of Banyan Security. “We saw a clear need for a new solution that does not suffer from the baggage of existing network-centric approaches. What we’ve built brings together device and network security in a unique way to secure all types of access – private or internet. This approach reduces the attack surface and provides a frictionless user experience, thus increasing employee productivity. We’re excited to see customers and industry partners embracing our approach, and are confident that our solution will exceed expectations, revolutionizing the way organizations think about workforce security." Banyan Security’s strategic partners understand that a new approach is needed to effectively realize the promise of a zero trust framework. “We are thrilled to partner with Banyan Security to deliver more value to our joint customers. The partnership provides a risk-based approach to security and simplifies the deployment of Zero Trust initiatives,” said Akhil Kapoor, Vice President of Business Development at SentinelOne. “Together, we can offer unparalleled protection and peace of mind to organizations as they navigate an ever-evolving threat landscape.” The implications of a device-centric SSE product are revolutionary, providing organizations with considerable benefits including: Improved User Experience – Localized, intelligent decision making minimizes latency and results in a better user experience. Rather than forcing organizations to ship all traffic to the cloud for inspection, each device makes the optimum access and security decisions. Coupling faster decision making with an always-on approach minimizes potential gaps for advanced threats to exploit. Better Enterprise Security – The Banyan SSE solution includes multiple layers of security, providing least privileged access for users regardless of location. Additional security is provided by incorporating real-time, continuous authorization using advanced risk modeling based on user, device, resource, and threat profiles. Together these features provide superior threat protection and automated threat remediation. Lower Total Cost of Ownership – a device-centric Security Service Edge is significantly easier to deploy and manage for most organizations. Rather than having to configure complex network environments to support the analysis and routing of user traffic, this happens locally on end-user devices based on intuitive selections made in the Banyan admin console. Advanced discover and publish capabilities further simplify deployments and results in much lower total cost of ownership for an organization versus legacy solutions. Deployment Flexibility – The Banyan Security SSE solution architecture provides additional benefits for organizations that are concerned with data privacy and security. Unlike other SSE solutions, the Banyan Security Platform can be configured to route encrypted traffic through either the Banyan cloud infrastructure or directly through a service installed and maintained in the organization’s infrastructure. This capability allows the freedom to address the needs of any regulatory or security-conscious environment. Banyan’s customers, aware that existing solutions were not addressing the rapidly changing requirements of a distributed workforce, have rallied behind the Banyan Security Platform. “With Banyan Security’s device-centric SSE, we confidently replaced our legacy VPN and accelerated our zero trust architecture initiatives. Their robust solution empowers us to secure our cloud-first environment, seamlessly monitor security posture through efficient device checks, and ultimately enhance our primary customers’ security – our users,” said Cesar Esteban, Staff Security Engineer at Snapdocs. “Investing in Banyan Security has transformed our approach to cybersecurity and unlocked new potential for serving our users better.” About Banyan Security Banyan Security provides secure, zero trust “work from anywhere” access to applications and resources for employees and third parties while protecting them from being phished, straying onto malicious web sites, or being exposed to ransomware. A Flexible Edge architecture enables rapid, incremental deployment on-premises or in the cloud without compromising privacy or data sovereignty. A unique device-centric approach intelligently routes traffic for optimal performance and security delivering a great end user experience. Banyan Security protects workers across multiple industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology.

NordLocker introduces easier secure sharing option

Globenewswire | May 26, 2023

NordLocker has launched a new feature that allows users to securely share a password-protected locker, otherwise known as a folder, of files. In order to receive the sent files, the recipient doesn’t even need to be a NordLocker user. This convenient sharing feature is incredibly easy to use. The files are shared via a link, and the recipient needs a password to access the files. For security purposes, once the set expiration date passes, the link becomes inaccessible. Thanks to NordLocker’s end-to-end encryption, files are fully protected throughout their journey. “Whether it’s holiday videos or a client contract – here at NordLocker we believe that all files should be shared securely. With this new feature, we make secure sharing that much easier,” says Aivaras Vencevicius, head of product at NordLocker. Currently, this feature is available on NordLocker’s web application. Other improvements In addition, NordLocker has introduced biometrics on iOS, which allows a more convenient and quicker login. iOS users are now also able to download NordLocker application logs for more information on their app. As privacy is at NordLocker’s core, it’s worth noting that these activity logs are encrypted and stored on the customer’s side. NordLocker’s customer support can only see it if the user decides to share it with the NordLocker team. “With cybercrime rising every year, file encryption is becoming essential. We see that threats are becoming more sophisticated – phishing emails are becoming harder to detect, and malware is becoming more dangerous and advanced. Therefore I strongly recommend to treat your digital belongings just like you’d treat your physical assets – keep them locked up and secure,” says Aivaras Vencevicius, head of product at NordLocker. ABOUT NORDLOCKER NordLocker is the world’s first end-to-end file encryption tool with a private cloud. It was created by the cybersecurity experts behind NordVPN – one of the most advanced VPN service providers in the world. NordLocker is available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, supports all file types, offers a fast and intuitive interface, and guarantees secure sync between devices. With NordLocker, files are protected from hacking, surveillance, and data collection. For more information: nordlocker.com.
