Launches new capabilities designed to help companies with regulatory and compliance needs and streamline costly identity governance deployments
Las Vegas — December 10, 2019 — ForgeRock®, the leading provider in digital identity, today announced new identity governance capabilities, including access requests, access reviews and reporting to the ForgeRock Identity Platform to help companies satisfy governance requirements.
ForgeRock is at the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit in Las Vegas this week, discussing and demonstrating its new governance solutions.
The proliferation of applications, data and devices across the enterprise has fundamentally changed the way governance must be built and delivered. Inside large organizations, knowing who has access and why has become a costly and time-consuming process, and now non-person entities (NPEs) like devices, services, and things also must be accounted for. This has led to stretching existing products beyond their limits with costly customizations and integrating multiple governance products. According to Gartner, “IGA (Identity Governance and Administration) is a mature market, and Gartner forecasts that it will total $3.34 billion in 2019, which is an increase of 9.8% from the 2018 total of $3.04 billion”*. While there are a variety of IGA solutions in the market, we believe customers are increasingly frustrated and fatigued with the time, costs and heavy application and process integration required to achieve successful deployments.
The ForgeRock approach brings essential governance capabilities to its existing identity management platform, creating a single resource for customers to address the most challenging use cases. ForgeRock’s existing Identity Manager easily handles both person and non-person entities by using a flexible data architecture designed to model any identity object and its attributes, manage their lifecycle including rich workflows, and provisioning access with automated connectors. Now with the new governance capabilities customers can govern these identities by regularly certifying access and auditing for common issues like toxic combinations to ensure proper separation of duties. By making these features natively available in its existing identity management platform ForgeRock has simplified the deployment of governance capabilities and reduced the ROI on governance from a few years to a few months.
“Identity Governance offers great opportunities for companies to lock down unmanaged user and non-person entity accounts, and eliminate unauthorized access that leads to breaches. However, too often these deployments fail to realize the intended benefits because of deployment and product complexities” said Peter Barker, chief product officer at ForgeRock. “We’ve worked closely with our customers and partners to deliver strong governance capabilities, integrated with our modern digital identity platform for a winning approach that meets the needs of today while offering very streamlined deployments.”
