A nasty shock is hitting finance leaders across every industry right now: AI token bills that run ten, twenty, even a hundred times over what they forecasted, blowing holes straight through quarterly budgets. These leaders are all asking the same questions: How could this happen if they didn't approve it? Why didn't any of their systems alert them to the spike? And most importantly, what can they do now?

Zero-Shot Learning is a podcast about how AI gets built, secured, and deployed. Hosted by Nancy Wang, 1Password CTO, and Dev Tagare, Senior Director of Engineering at Google, it’s a builder’s view of the architecture and the complex decisions it takes to ship with AI.

Black Hat is where the security industry gathers to compare notes on what works. In recent years, supply chain attacks have been a recurring topic, and the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report shows security teams are struggling to find a solution. According to the report, third-party involvement increased by 60% over the last year and now accounts for 48% of all breaches.

Credential sprawl has long been an issue IT and security teams have had to grapple with, and solutions like single-sign-on (SSO) have never been able to contain it completely. Now, AI is accelerating the problem. AI agents need access to credentials at an unprecedented scale, leaving IT and security teams struggling even more to ensure that every credential, across every department, is secure.

The cybersecurity landscape is changing fast. At 1Password, that means we’re continuously evolving what we work on, how we work, and the culture we need to achieve our goals.

The developers and engineers here at 1Password are always working to improve our products. With all the active development to introduce features, fix bugs, and enhance the overall user experience, numerous code changes go into every release. We strive to ensure each iteration is better than the last and that new code doesn’t introduce vulnerabilities. A key part of this process is our Product Security (ProdSec) team’s review of all code changes that may have security implications.

This is the second post in a series that follows 1Password’s response to NIST’s call for input on how those principles should apply to agents. In our last post on agent identity, we introduced why the ability to reason makes agents fundamentally different from traditional machine workloads, why it breaks the assumptions traditional identity and access management was built on, and why real-time attestation establishes agent identity at runtime.

Today we're shipping a new capability directly into 1Password Device Trust that lets admins query their fleets faster, without needing to be SQL experts. Now you can describe what you want to investigate in plain English, and Device Trust generates a ready-to-run SQL query you can execute across your devices in a single click.

1Password has been recognized as a leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management Platforms.
