Locking It Down with Extended Access Management

Jason Meller, a vice president of product management at 1Password, joins Dark Reading’s Terry Sweeney at News Desk during RSA Conference to discuss what happens when you merge identity and access management to reflect workers’ new realities — and their persistent bad habits, including downloading unsanctioned apps and using the same computer for work and personal needs. He talks extended access management (XAM) and its embrace of end-user remediation of security issues, and calls out current security practices we’re sure to find outdated in five years. Meller also speaks to the future of access management and what we night expect there.
