In a cybersecurity landscape where credential-based attacks remain a leading threat, managed service providers (MSPs) are increasingly taking on the role of frontline defenders for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Recognizing this shift, 1Password today launched 1Password Enterprise Password Manager - MSP Edition, a purpose-built solution designed to help MSPs secure client data, streamline operations, and scale profitably in an evolving threat environment.
Meeting the Surge in MSP Security Demands
Following an overwhelming response from thousands of MSPs during its beta phase, 1Password’s new offering aims to fill a critical gap in the market. As SMBs continue to struggle with security resource constraints, the demand for robust managed security solutions has skyrocketed. The global managed security services market is projected to grow at 11.6% CAGR, reaching $68.3 billion by 2028, according to IDC. MSPs, therefore, have a prime opportunity to reinforce their value proposition by integrating identity security solutions into their portfolios.
“The demand we’ve seen from MSPs since the beta program has been extraordinary,” said Jason Eberhardt, VP of Global MSP Channel at 1Password. “Today’s MSPs are at the forefront of defending businesses against rising cyber threats. We’re thrilled to deliver a solution that not only helps MSPs enhance security and streamline their operations but also enables them to provide exceptional value to their clients.”
Security Meets Simplicity: What’s Inside 1Password MSP Edition
With identity-based breaches accounting for a significant portion of cyber incidents, password and access management have become foundational to cybersecurity strategies. 1Password MSP Edition is engineered to provide enterprise-grade security with operational flexibility tailored for MSPs.
Dual-Key Encryption: Unlike traditional password managers, 1Password employs an additional layer of security, requiring both an account password and a machine-generated Secret Key, ensuring data remains safe even in the unlikely event of a breach.
Advanced MFA & Secure Remote Password (SRP): Enhanced authentication mechanisms mitigate the risks associated with stolen credentials.
Multi-Tenant Management Console: A unified dashboard enables MSPs to configure, monitor, and manage multiple client accounts seamlessly.
Integrations with Major Identity Providers (IdPs) & SIEMs: Compatibility with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, JumpCloud, and security tools like Microsoft Sentinel enhances workflows and centralizes security oversight.
Flexible Consumption-Based Billing: The ability to scale without minimum license requirements, with usage-based billing in arrears, provides MSPs with financial agility.
An Opportunity for Growth, Security, and Compliance
For MSPs navigating the complex regulatory landscape, compliance and reporting remain critical challenges. 1Password MSP Edition simplifies adherence to industry standards with granular policy controls, active breach detection, and detailed reporting features.
“Compliance and reporting are top concerns for our clients, and 1Password makes addressing these challenges simple,” said Dale M., Director of Security Operations at Bantam Technologies. “With active breach detection, granular policy controls, and detailed access reporting, we can stay ahead of our clients’ needs and establish ourselves as a trusted cybersecurity partner.”
MSPs already leveraging the platform highlight its game-changing impact on operations and security. Adam Berti, Managing Director of Campfire Technology, emphasized the platform’s ease of use and scalability: “1Password’s MSP solution delivers everything we need to confidently safeguard our clients’ corporate data while keeping business operations seamless. Its streamlined onboarding process and ability to scale effortlessly have been a game changer for both our team and our clients.”
The Future of Identity Security in the MSP Space
With cyber threats evolving at an unprecedented pace, MSPs are being tasked with not just managing IT infrastructure but ensuring the security and compliance of their clients. As Dustin Leggans, CEO of OSA Technology Partners, put it: “1Password was the missing link in delivering top-tier security to our customers. In today’s cybersecurity landscape, strong identity security is non-negotiable.”
1Password’s MSP Edition arrives at a pivotal moment, offering a robust yet user-friendly solution to fortify access controls, mitigate credential-based threats, and help MSPs drive revenue through security-first services. As the demand for identity security solutions continues to surge, 1Password is positioning itself as an essential partner in the MSP ecosystem.
