We track a range of established and emerging vendors in the global identity and access management ecosystem. Established vendors provide us with meta-knowledge regarding market dynamics, funding, customer budget maturity and stable use cases. We also track more emerging technologies that relate to IAM in order to identify innovation at the edge of the ecosystem.
Perhaps trendy, perhaps a trend – but by monitoring specialist use cases and new vendors, a general picture of momentum can be created.
We also track a range of other vendors in orthogonal technology areas such as data security , ICS/OT and IoT that have a specific focus on IAM.
