Westcon-Comstor has signed a distribution agreement with 1Password to accelerate enterprise adoption of Extended Access Management (XAM) across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The partnership expands Westcon’s identity security portfolio and offers channel partners a streamlined route to revenue.
Under the agreement, Westcon-Comstor will provide training, technical enablement and data-led support to help partners scale deployments of 1Password’s XAM platform. The solution is designed to secure every sign-in across managed and unmanaged devices, addressing gaps left by legacy identity and access tools.
1Password will also tap into Westcon-Comstor’s Intelligent Demand programme, which uses predictive analytics to identify growth opportunities and improve customer lifetime value. The move aligns with 1Password’s channel-first strategy and recent expansion in the EMEA region, where over one-third of its B2B customers are now based.
“This strategic agreement with 1Password complements and enhances our identity security offering perfectly,” said Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President, Westcon EMEA Go-To-Market. “We look forward to playing a central role in driving 1Password’s channel-led growth across the EMEA region.”
Oliver Cheal, Vice President, EMEA at 1Password, added: “By combining Westcon’s deep channel expertise and strategic network with our category-defining identity security platform, we’re opening new routes to market, accelerating partner success, and addressing urgent identity and AI security needs across the region.”
