1Password has moved into privileged access management (PAM) with a new product that grants temporary, just-in-time access to critical systems for both human users and AI agents. The solution works by provisioning and deprovisioning permissions directly within the target system, such as AWS or Kubernetes, rather than by brokering a session.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The tools your developers use are moving up to become the platforms they run on. If you're building security tools for access management, 1Password is now your competitor.
