SaaS sprawl – the proliferation of applications within an organization, including unsanctioned shadow IT – has created an urgent need for IT and security leaders: keeping sensitive data secure while enabling employees to use the apps they need. That’s why we feel that Trelica by 1Password’s inclusion in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management Platforms marks more than just a milestone. It signals the growing need for unified SaaS governance and security.

Admin and developer secrets – such as SSH keys, API keys, and database passwords – are the essential credentials that let developers access the systems they need to do their jobs. If these secrets are compromised, they can grant particularly dangerous levels of unauthorized access, giving bad actors access to an organization’s most sensitive data and mission-critical systems.

In the modern, hybrid workplace, employees have more control than ever over the devices they use for their jobs. In fact, 56% of employees say that they have worked on a personal “bring-your-own” device (BYOD) in the last year. This is despite the fact that 89% of security pros say that their company doesn’t allow BYOD. Clearly, there’s a disconnect between security policies and worker behaviors.
