Why "always-on" access is a hidden security risk with Rom Carmel

Always-on access might sound convenient, but it can quietly become a serious security risk. 🔐⚠️ In this bonus episode of Random but Memorable, we’re joined by Rom Carmel, VP of Product Management at 1Password, to introduce 1Password Privileged Access.  Rom breaks down what privileged access management actually means, and why permanent permissions can leave companies exposed. He also explains how “just-in-time” and “just enough” access can protect teams and their most critical systems, without slowing everyone down.  We also explore what happens when AI agents start needing access too, and why securing humans, machines, and agents is quickly becoming one of the biggest challenges for modern organizations. 👩‍💻 Learn more: Introducing 1Password Privileged Access [https://1password.com/blog/introducing-1password-privileged-access?utm_medium=owned-content&utm_source=owned-content&utm_campaign=evergreen_none_bl_introducing-1password-privileged-access&utm_content=cta_rbm-17-2] 🗣 #Ask1Password – Ask Us Anything!  Please send us an email at: podcast@1password.com Ask us a question in the 1Password Community forum [https://www.1password.community/category/discuss] 📲  Follow Us… * Watch on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@randombutmemorable] * Find us on Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/random-but-memorable/id1435486599] * Find us on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/5Sa3dy0xDvMT0h3O5MGMOr] * Visit 1Password.com [http://1password.com] * Check out our blog [https://blog.1password.com/] * Find us on X @1Password [https://twitter.com/1Password] * Find us on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/1Password/] or Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/1password/] * Send us an email: podcast@1password.com [podcast@1password.com] ❤️  Review Us...
