Case Study: The Associated Press protects journalists and sources with 1Password

The Associated Press protects journalists across 100 countries with 1Password

The Associated Press (AP), an independent global news organization, faced challenges in securely managing credentials across its globally dispersed journalists and staff. They used a variety of different password managers, which created a disjointed process and a lack of oversight. AP needed a centralized solution from a vendor like 1Password to protect sensitive information, manage access, and safely equip staff traveling to high-risk areas.

By implementing 1Password, AP gained centralized control and enhanced security features. The solution enabled secure credential sharing, streamlined onboarding, and provided critical oversight through tools like the Activity Log. Most significantly, 1Password's Travel Mode feature protects journalists crossing borders by keeping sensitive vaults hidden. The result is that 1Password has successfully protected both AP journalists and their confidential sources while creating a more efficient and secure workflow.
