1Password Is Named to the 2025 Forbes Cloud for Fourth Consecutive Year

September 03, 2025 at 10:00 AM EDT

1Password, the pioneer of Extended Access Management (XAM), has been named #39 on the Forbes 2025 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners.

“Work has outgrown the boundaries of traditional security, with people and AI agents operating with more autonomy, across more tools and devices than ever before,” said David Faugno, CEO of 1Password. “We’re proud to be recognized on the Forbes Cloud 100 list for 1Password Extended Access Management, which was built to ensure that every identity is authentic, every app sign-on is secure, and every device is healthy. As we redefine identity security, we are meeting this moment head-on, giving people and AI agents seamless access to the apps and environments SSO doesn’t cover so that businesses can innovate freely, with security built in from the start.”

The explosion of SaaS and AI-powered applications, many of which have been adopted beyond IT’s oversight, has created a surge of ungoverned access across unmanaged devices, unsanctioned apps, and autonomous agents. As AI reshapes how work gets done, 1Password is transforming traditional access management while staying true to what has always earned customer trust: delivering security that enables productivity, no matter how people or AI agents work. Purpose-built to address this Access-Trust Gap, 1Password Extended Access Management secures every sign-in, human or AI agent, to every app, from every device.

Trusted by over 165,000 businesses and integrated with 350+ SaaS applications, 1Password powers secure, productive work for the world’s most forward-thinking enterprises. Backed by a growing partner ecosystem, including AWS, CrowdStrike, Microsoft, Drata, and global distributors like TD SYNNEX, Ingram Micro, and Pax8, 1Password Extended Access Management is deeply embedded in how modern teams work, delivering the visibility, automation, and control IT and security leaders need to scale with confidence.

For the tenth consecutive year, the Cloud 100 reviews submissions from hundreds of cloud startups and private companies each year. The Cloud 100 evaluation process involved ranking companies across four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). For market leadership, the Cloud 100 enlists the help of a judging panel of public cloud company CEOs who assist in evaluating and ranking their private company peers.

“For the last decade, the Forbes Cloud 100 list has recognized the most innovative private cloud companies in the world, and this year’s standouts are among the most impressive we’ve ever seen,” said Richard Nieva, the Forbes editor of the Cloud 100. “Our honorees highlight the massive sea change that AI has brought to the enterprise, with sky-high growth and valuations.”

“As we mark the 10th year of the Cloud 100 with our 2025 rankings, we celebrate a highly competitive cohort of companies that, for the first time, collectively exceed $1 trillion in value,” said Elliott Robinson, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. ��The cloud is in a period of rapid, AI-driven transformation, with this year’s cohort demonstrating how AI is fundamentally reshaping how the best cloud companies grow, scale, and compete.”

The Cloud 100 recognition builds on a series of high-profile industry accolades for 1Password, including the CRN Tech Innovator Awards for Identity and Access Management, Notable Capital’s Rising in Cyber Award, the Fortress Cybersecurity Award for Authentication & Identity, and the CRN Best of the Channel Awards for Best Vendor of the Year.

The Forbes 2025 Cloud 100 and 20 Rising Stars lists are published online at www.forbes.com/cloud100. Highlights of the list appear in the August/September 2025 issue of Forbes magazine.

This year, the CEOs of The Cloud 100 and the 20 Rising Stars companies will be honored with a digital content launch, as well as at the exclusive Cloud 100 Celebration hosted by Bessemer Venture Partners and Forbes. A special thank you to the event sponsors, including Cloud 100 founding partner Salesforce Ventures, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Bank of America, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Goodwin, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Nasdaq.
