Omdia's report highlights three challenges in modern access management: app sprawl, identity sprawl, and device sprawl, leading to an Access-Trust Gap. To close this gap, Omdia suggests five strategies, focusing on enhanced device security beyond traditional MDM solutions. MDMs fall short by excluding unmanaged devices, which are often exploited in cyberattacks. 1Password's Extended Access Management addresses these issues by ensuring only secure devices access corporate resources through validation processes. This solution supports BYOD, maintains user privacy, and enforces compliance effectively, transforming endpoints into secure access points.

Shadow IT poses increasing security risks as employees use unauthorized SaaS applications. Key statistics show that 1 in 3 breaches involve shadow IT, and organizations lacking central management are five times more likely to face cyber incidents. Traditional identity management tools can't track unsanctioned applications, leaving organizations vulnerable. 1Password's Extended Access Management addresses these challenges by providing visibility into all apps, ensuring compliance, empowering employees, and automating security processes. Continuous monitoring and automated workflows help manage risks and audit trails support compliance. Understanding and mitigating shadow IT with this tool is essential for organizational security.

SSO solutions simplify access to applications via single login, reducing security risks. However, modern work patterns and SaaS usage create challenges, leading to the “Access-Trust Gap.” Many apps remain unmanaged due to SSO costs, integration issues, and shadow IT, making widespread adoption impractical, especially for SMBs. SSO's limitations necessitate complementary solutions, like Extended Access Management (XAM), which offer comprehensive security for all app access. Effective application management and spend optimization are crucial for mitigating risks and controlling costs in today's decentralized workplace.
