1Password, a leader in identity security, today announced that it has been named by CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, to the prestigious Security 100 list for the second consecutive year. This list highlights leading IT security vendors that are committed to collaborating with channel partners to keep businesses secure from cyber threats.

Now in its 11th year, CRN’s Security 100 list honors channel-focused security vendors across five technology categories: Endpoint and Managed Security; Identity, Access and Data Security; Network Security; Security Operations, Risk and Threat Intelligence; and Web, Email and Application Security.

The esteemed companies on the Security 100 list deliver a combination of cutting-edge security technologies and services. With cybersecurity needs accelerating alongside the emergence of AI-powered offerings and increasing cyber threats, this annual list is a valuable guide for solution providers exploring security vendors they can partner with to deliver outstanding solutions to their customers.

As organizations adopt more SaaS applications, automation, and AI-driven tools, access is no longer limited to employees. It now extends to machines and autonomous agents, creating security challenges that traditional security models weren’t designed to address. Channel partners are increasingly turning to 1Password as the trust layer for securing access across human, machine, and AI agent identities, helping customers reduce risk and adopt new technologies with confidence. By delivering a modern approach to identity security and investing deeply in its partner ecosystem, 1Password enables partners to play a more strategic role in helping customers securely adopt AI agents and AI-powered tools, without slowing productivity or performance.

“The companies recognized on the Security 100 list are delivering next‑generation security solutions through trusted IT channel partners,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel Company. “In today’s digital landscape, strong cybersecurity is not optional—it’s mission‑critical. These vendors continue to evolve their portfolios to stay ahead of adversaries and emerging threats. We applaud their achievements and look forward to the innovations they will bring to the future of cybersecurity.”

“Our partners are instrumental in accelerating customer adoption of new technologies,” said Larissa Crandall, Global Vice President of Channel and Alliances at 1Password. “AI, automation, and SaaS sprawl are changing the way we work, and our partners are the ones guiding customers through that change every day. 1Password helps them reduce complexity, earn trust, and deliver security that keeps pace with how work actually happens.”

The 2026 Security 100 list will be featured online at www.crn.com/security100 starting Feb. 17.

Over the past year, 1Password was also recognized in CRN’s Best of the Channel and Tech Innovator award lists.
