1Password expands its endpoint security offerings with Kolide acquisition

1Password has acquired Kolide, a company offering a range of endpoint device security solutions, for an undisclosed sum.

“The hybrid, work-anywhere-and-on-any-device workforce is here to stay, and security has seen a massive impact as a result of this shift,” Jeff Shiner, the CEO of 1Password, told TechCrunch in an email interview. Customers and their employees get features like security issue context, self-remediation steps for Mac, Windows and Linux devices and a personalized privacy center, all built on the open source and Facebook-led universal endpoint agent project Osquery. “Kolide is built on the principle that end users, when honestly informed and motivated, are perhaps the most effective resource that security-focused organizations will ever have against the world’s most nuanced and devastating security threats,” Meller told TechCrunch via email.
