Sanjay Ramnath reposted thisSanjay Ramnath reposted thisAI is no longer just assisting developers. It’s acting with real authority. It’s writing code. Handling secrets. Making decisions. Operating at a pace most security teams can’t fully see or control. So when AI helps ship software: who’s accountable for the risk? Join Jeff Malnick, VP of AI & Developer @1Password, Travis McPeak, CISO @Cursor, Andy Berman, CEO @Runlayer, and Jason Meller, VP, Product @1Password, at #RSAC2026. Together, they’ll unpack what’s breaking as AI-driven development becomes the norm, from blurred privilege boundaries and secrets sprawl to the widening gap between developer velocity and security oversight. You’ll leave with practical guidance on restoring trust, accountability, and control without slowing innovation. 📅 March 25 | 12:45 PM – 1:30 PM PDT 👉 Register here:https://bit.ly/47C0PHT

Sanjay Ramnath reposted thisSanjay Ramnath reposted this📣 Excited to share a leadership role I'm hiring for This is a strategic position operating at the heart of 1Password's mission: To be the universal source for all identities and credentials, providing trusted access in the simplest, safest way for people and their agents - helping safeguard the most important information at work, at home, and everywhere in between. I’m hiring a Senior Director of Engineering - Identity Security Platform Infrastructure at 1Password. This leader will help shape the infrastructure behind the systems that power: → authentication → authorization → credential management → identity infrastructure at scale Why I’m personally excited about this role: Security is evolving quickly, with identity becoming the security infrastructure control plane for everything: people, devices, services, and increasingly AI agents. At 1Password, we’re building toward a future where businesses can trust every identity, human or agent, interacting with their systems, staying secure while moving fast. Today, 180,000+ businesses rely on 1Password. What we’re building next requires world-class platform infrastructure and engineering leadership. We’re looking for someone who has: • Built large-scale cloud platforms • Led high-performing engineering organizations • Deep experience in identity, authentication, or security systems If building the foundation of modern identity security sounds interesting, I’d love to talk.

Sanjay Ramnath reposted thisSanjay Ramnath reposted thisOpenAI and 1Password are on stage at #RSAC2026 for a very topical session that you won't want to miss! Most security leaders already know over-permissioning is a problem. But what happens when those permissions are assigned to AI agents operating at machine speed? Nancy Wang, CTO at 1Password, joins Fotis Chantzis, Agent Security Lead at OpenAI, to unpack ⤵️ 🔹 Why legacy access models break in AI-driven environments 🔹 How over-permissioning in an agentic world compounds risk 🔹 What leaders need to know to secure access for agents 📅 March 25 | 3:00PM – 3:45 PM PDT 👉 Register here: https://bit.ly/4sKgUDM

Sanjay Ramnath reposted thisAre agent architectures new? No, they're not. What’s different today is that autonomous systems use inference to drive control loops. The control loop itself, the client server machinery and application logic around the model, is still deterministic. It follows established software patterns, but it does not get much attention because it's boring. This boring layer of agent applications is critical to security, and in this post I break it down and how 1Password leverages it to secure agent workflows. https://lnkd.in/gF9dzNDB #AI #AIAgents #Identity #IAM #Security #MachineIdentity #DevSecOps #ZeroTrust #1PasswordHow 1Password secures agent architectures | 1PasswordHow 1Password secures agent architectures | 1Password

Sanjay Ramnath reposted thisThis is an exciting release. The SDKs are very performant, and open some really cool doors. Desktop integration and auth gives so much flexibility to how you can extend 1Password, whether that’s in an plugin or extension for apps like Raycast, or to leverage the exceptional power of the SDKs in enterprise automation.Sanjay Ramnath reposted this🔐 Modern workflows run everywhere and secrets need to keep up. That’s why 1Password is expanding programmatic access across developer workflows: 🔹 Runtime read-only secret access from Environments via CLI and SDKs 🔹 Scoped, read-only service accounts for safe automation 🔹 Desktop-authenticated SDKs for trusted integrations The goal is simple: provide access to developer secrets in the simplest, most secure way for developers and their agents. 👉 See what’s new and why it matters https://bit.ly/3OQBxiA #DeveloperSecurity #SecretsManagement #DevOps #CI/CD #AItools #1Password

Sanjay Ramnath reposted thisSanjay Ramnath reposted thisTo move agents from demos to prod, we need to solve agentic identity 🤖 As agents begin to act autonomously across systems, identity becomes both the primary control layer and the primary attack surface. Tomorrow at VentureBeat AI in SF, I’ll be joining Alex Stamos (CPO Corridor) Spiros Xanthos (CEO Resolve AI) and Jon Aniano (SVP Zendesk) on stage to explore how security models must evolve accordingly. If you are building or securing agent workflows, this conversation will be practical, not theoretical. See you there!

Sanjay Ramnath reposted thisSanjay Ramnath reposted thisAI agents can do a lot of remarkable things, but avoiding common cyberattacks is *not* one of them. In our testing, even the most advanced AI models would identify a fake login page… then retrieve the real password and type it in anyway. Training AI agents to act safely might be the most urgent security challenge of our time. That’s why we built Security Comprehension and Awareness Measure (SCAM) to benchmark AI agent safety. Now, we’re taking the conversation to Reddit. Join Jason Meller, VP of Product Architecture at 1Password, for a live AMA on February 17 at 9am PT / 12pm ET to discuss: 🔹 Why AI models fail at staying safe 🔹 How a 1,200 word security skill transformed results 🔹 What agent trust means for the future of credential security Drop your questions and join the discussion 👉 https://bit.ly/4ra59pA #1Password #AgenticAI #RedditAMA #IdentitySecurity

Sanjay Ramnath liked thisSanjay Ramnath liked thisAnother RSAC in the books! I’ve been reflecting on conversations at RSAC this week, and one idea from a CISO stuck with me on framing AI adoption inside a company: 1. AI-assisted work: ChatGPT or Claude for information lookup/re-writing. 2. AI-augmented: custom GPTs, redesigning workflows, and starting to use agents for specific tasks. 3. AI-native: employees worth through agent-driven systems all day long. Many organizations have a mix of the first two today and we're all working towards the 3rd. I think most workers will need to be at least AI-augmented in the future. We’re all becoming builders, whether we planned for it or not. That’s where things get uncomfortable as a CISO thinking about how to secure this next phase of adoption. I'm thankful to be part of this journey at 1Password, where we’re focused on helping teams securely manage access as they build with AI and agents.

Sanjay Ramnath liked thisSanjay Ramnath liked thisEvery time Travis McPeak and I are in the same room, the hot takes keep flying. Here are 6 spicy truths about agent security you won't hear at RSA: 1. Nobody is using just one AI client. Even people at Cursor use Claude, Codex, and whatever shipped last Tuesday. Your security model has to assume multi-client, multi-agent, all the time. 2. Visibility without action is a dashboard, not security. If you can't trace root cause and enforce controls in real-time, you're just watching the breach happen in HD. 3. The real risk isn't code leaking - it's customer data leaking. The moment you connect agents to external tools like Snowflake, Salesforce, or Slack, you've created an attack surface no code review catches. 4. Non-technical people are already using AI tools across every department. You can't train your way out of that. The only answer is secure by design - make the unsafe path impossible, not just discouraged. 5. AI is better than most engineers at securing code. As code generation accelerates, the only viable play for security teams is fighting agents with agents. 6. With all that risk, here's the biggest one - being the company that doesn't enable agents fast enough. Slow adoption isn't caution, it's a different kind of risk. Travis is building the security layer at Cursor. We built the golden path and control plane for agents 🤝
