Stop Managing Passwords. Start Securing Identities.

“Each digital interaction—whether personal or professional—represents a different identity. Managing them securely and easily is essential.” — Karim Toubba, CEO, LastPass 

In our digital-first world, every login is a potential attack vector. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, identity has become the new frontline of defense.  

This was the central message in a recent conversation between Karim Toubba, CEO of LastPass, and Yorn Ziesche, Director IT Security & Compliance at Handelsblatt Media Group, during a special session on the future of digital identity at WiWo Cyber Protection Day. 

Identity: The Last Firewall

“Even after patching every vulnerability, the identity remains the one element that still has access to everything.” — Yorn, IT Director, Handelsblatt 

Even with the best infrastructure and patched vulnerabilities, one element remains persistently exposed: identity. Whether it’s a journalist accessing editorial systems or a developer logging into cloud services, identity is the key to everything—and the most common target for attackers.

Introducing LastPass SaaS Monitoring: Securing Identities Beyond Your Visibility

As identity becomes more complex, so must the tools we use to manage it. That’s why LastPass is evolving beyond password management with the launch of LastPass SaaS Monitoring, the new functionality in our Secure Access Experiences, our approach to making access management more accessible for everyone. . 

LastPass SaaS Monitoring is an extension of securing identities. It enables visibility into both applications and the identities using them, helping organizations detect risk, enforce access policies, and close off unauthorized or risky environments. This transparency allows IT teams to: 

• Detect shadow IT and shadow AI 

• Understand who is using what apps—and why 

• Secure identities within those environments 

• Reduce unnecessary software spend 

• Enforce security policies more effectively 

By combining SaaS visibility with identity and access management (IAM), LastPass helps organizations move from reactive protection to proactive identity governance. 

Final Thoughts: Know Your Identity, Know Your Risk

Whether you’re a global media house or a growing startup, the message is clear: you can’t protect what you can’t see. Identity is no longer just a login—it’s the foundation of trust, access, and security. 

With tools like LastPass and innovations like LastPass SaaS Monitoring, organizations can finally bridge the gap between protection and perception—and build a future where identity is not just managed but mastered.
