1Password for Builders

AI agents are changing how work gets done. The next challenge is securing how they access your systems and data. Join us at #BlackHat2026 for a panel with security leaders from @OpenAI, @wearelegora, @perplexity_ai, and @1Password to discuss identity, permissions, and trust in the age of AI agents. Moderated by Jake Storm (@Felicis) and closing remarks from @tomalcockCRP (@CodeRedPartners) Aug 5, 5-8pm PT | Citizens Kitchen & Bar Space is limited.

"You could have a model that just answers correctly the first time, but it's making all the wrong decisions along the way. Then when you adapt it to a slightly different context, all of a sudden you've got an agent that's totally broken in production." – Adarsh Hiremath, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, @mercor_ai On Zero-Shot Learning Ep. 5, Adarsh joins @nancyZWang (CTO @1Password) and Dev Tagare (Head of Engineering, @GeminiApp) to unpack why evals are infrastructure and what it actually takes to move an agent from passing a benchmark to production.

Secrets don’t belong in .env files, chat messages, or “temporary” scripts. Those shortcuts become secrets sprawl and every plaintext credential is a potential entry point for attackers. 1Password Developer Tools help keep secrets out of code and access them securely at runtime.

"I am, almost to a scary amount, frequently surprised by what the ramifications of random prompt changes are." — @ankrgyl (CEO @braintrust) on Zero-Shot Learning ep. 4 Evals are the new PRD.1password.com/blog/prompt-ch… #ZeroShotLearning #AI #AIAgents #AIObservability

“I am, almost to a scary amount, frequently surprised by what the ramifications of random prompt changes are.” @ankrgyl (CEO @braintrust) on the latest episode of Zero-Shot Learning. Code ships through version control, pull requests, peer review, security scans, and approvals. Prompt changes? They're often just a dashboard update No PR. No scan. No audit trail.

“The very best teams that we work with, explicitly adopt the mindset that the code around the agent is disposable.” Episode 4 of Zero-Shot Learning is live. The conversation with @ankrgyl (CEO @braintrust) @NancyZWang (CTO @1Password) and Dev Tagare (Head of Engineering, @GeminiApp) discuss why agent code is disposable, why evals are the new PRD, and how AI-assisted development creates "comprehension debt."

"Don't give credentials to your agents. As tempting as it is to paste your API key into the context window — seriously, don't do it." @nancyZwang, CTO @1Password Nancy and @travismcpeak spoke with @sabrinaa_ortiz @theDeepView to break down how to govern AI agents without losing control 👇 bit.ly/3Ss0anK #AISecurity #AgenticAI #ZeroShotLearning

That's a wrap on Agent Identity Build Day. The identity and access layer for agentic systems is still being built, and the room was full of builders, researchers, and practitioners making real progress toward real solutions. Thank you to every attendee, speaker, and @agihouse_org for a day worth showing up for. @dawnsongtweets, @OriginalEnright, @hdmoore, Travis Lanham, @muhashmii, @gauri__gupta, @daytonaio #AIagents #identitysecurity #cybersecurity #AIbuilders #devsecops #developers #builders

What will the future of software engineering look like? @1Password polled our best engineers on how much code they write manually. The top 10% said zero percent. "LLMs are going to be way more effective at just generating pure lines of code than a human engineer will." - @NancyZWang, CTO, 1Password Nancy’s take: systems-level thinking plus AI proficiency. Because in fully agentic workflows, you need to know where things break before they do. Full story in Forbes: bit.ly/4oTrI1E #SoftwareEngineering #AI #AgenticAI #DevTools #1Password

The hard problems of agentic security aren't theoretical. It always comes back to access. The instant an agent touches a real system, it needs a real credential. Most end up with a long-lived key in a prompt, an .env file, or the model's context. The interesting problems of this build day live right there. Come build with us this Saturday June 27 at @agihouse_org and pressure test real solutions. Keynote with @dawnsongtweets, leading AI security researcher and VP of AI Research at @Meta, and a solid lineup of experts joining us: Keith Enright (Chief Strategy Officer at @harvey), @hdmoore (Founder & CEO @runZeroInc), Travis Lanham (CTO @ArmadinSecurity), @muhashmii (DevRel at @daytonaio), and @gauri__gupta (Cofounder of @neosigmaai). Doors at 10AM. Keynote at 11AM. Demos and prizes awarded at 8PM. Apply: bit.ly/4eKvmWG #AIAgents #AIbuilders #devs #developers #buildinpublic

Agents are starting to act across real systems. The missing layer is identity, access, and accountability. This Saturday, Keith Enright, Chief Strategy Officer at Harvey AI and former Google Chief Privacy Officer, and @dawnsongtweets, UC Berkeley professor and leading AI security researcher, will join us to share their perspectives on one of the most important problems in the agentic stack. Apply to join. Come build with @1Password at AGI House: app.agihouse.org/events/agent-i…

Founder and CEO of @braintrust, @ankrgyl, joins @NancyZWang, CTO at @1Password, and Dev Tagare, Google’s Head of Engineering at @GeminiApp, in conversation about eval frameworks and production feedback loops. In a sharp diagnosis of where AI-assisted development is heading, Ankur’s take: “If you let an LLM go, go, go, and no one takes the time to actually comprehend the work, you build up comprehension debt. And when the piper comes and your product breaks, someone needs to actually understand what's going on... I think the way we're doing it with code gen is terrible right now." This unfiltered conversation digs deep into the solutions. Zero-Shot Learning episode 4 drops next week. #ZeroShotLearning #AI #Podcast #CodeGen #1Password #AIAgents #Braintrust

How do you build trustworthy, autonomous AI? @1Password CTO @NancyZWang on the Q&AI Podcast with @HPE: the challenge in deploying autonomous agents isn't the first 80%. It's the last mile, when environmental factors are uncertain and "there is no pre-built runbook." That's where trust frameworks, encrypted channels, and human checkpoints become essential.

“The industry is converging on the realization that existing identity standards are not sufficient anymore for agents.” @NancyZWang, CTO of @1Password, joins the @StackOverflow podcast for a sharp conversation on what securing access actually looks like when agents are ephemeral, swarms are hard to attribute, and the industry is firmly in the "find out" stage of AI. bit.ly/43SDoIf

When an agent takes action, whose authority is it acting under, and who is accountable for the outcome? Join Agent Identity Build Day on June 27 at @agihouse_org for a full day of building and prizes. Design and pressure test real solutions: scoping, delegation, auditability across handoffs. Doors at 10. Keynote at 11. Demos at 8. Apply: bit.ly/4eKvmWG #AIAgents #AIbuilders #devs #developers #buildinpublic

“It’s not just about having the right access, it’s what agents are doing with that access. Access truly is still the safeguard for that last mile.” @NancyZWang on @NYSE floor talk discusses how an agent authorized to act on your behalf can be redirected mid-task if the context has been manipulated. The access looks legitimate. The action isn't. youtube.com/watch?v=k7tYo0…

On episode 3 of Zero-Shot Learning @travismcpeak, Head of Security at @cursor_ai, talks about the moment that changed his mind about AI. Now, he thinks about agent security every single day. Our latest blog unpacks his conversation with @NancyZWang, CTO at @1Password, and Dev Tagare, Google’s Head of Engineering at @GeminiApp, on securing an AI-native development environment: bit.ly/4oN44nd #AISecurity #ZeroShotLearning #AgentSecurity

"Govern the stay, don't just govern the access.” @nancyzwang, CTO @1Password, on why traditional access management isn’t built for agents, “given their blast radius, you really have to monitor what they're doing with that access." Nancy and @travismcpeak (@Cursor_ai) spoke to @sabrinaa_ortiz @theDeepView on what safe agent deployment actually looks like in practice: bit.ly/3Ss0anK #AgenticAI #AISecurity #ZeroShotLearning #1Password
