SAN FRANCISCO - February 19, 2019 - ForgeRock®, the leading platform provider of digital identity management solutions, announced today it achieved an Overall Leadership position in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Access Management and Federation. This follows ForgeRock’s impressive showing in KuppingerCole’s Leadership Compass for Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) platforms. As the only IAM provider to support multi-cloud deployments of millions of identities by leveraging Kubernetes, ForgeRock demonstrates visionary leadership in the Identity and Access Management market.
The Leadership Compass for Access Management and Federation is available on the ForgeRock site, and can be accessed here.
Richard Hill and Martin Kuppinger, analysts of the comprehensive study, commented, “ForgeRock provides a well-balanced solution for Web Access Management & Identity Federation and continues to be venture-financed, allowing them to invest in product development heavily. This investment shows by their rapidly improving capabilities, moving them up in the Innovation Leadership category. Overall, ForgeRock is amongst the leading-edge vendors in the IAM space and should be considered in product evaluations.”
In addition to being placed in the Overall Leaders category, ForgeRock secured the highest position in innovation and one of the top two positions in Product Leadership.
ForgeRock Delivers Market-Leading Business Agility
KuppingerCole describes the Access Management and Federation market as moving from addressing tactical IT challenges to now becoming a key technology for the Connected and Intelligent Enterprise. In this new environment, IT has to provide the following four fundamental capabilities:
Incoming and outgoing access for both customers, suppliers and other business partners
Authentication and access to a growing number of cloud services and mobile devices while continuing to support existing on-premise applications
Protection from a growing number of security threats that emanate from new attack vectors
The agility to rapidly shift to an open and integrated enterprise that extends beyond the perimeter of the organization itself
Peter Barker, ForgeRock’s chief product officer, said, “We are pleased with the recognition this report brings to ForgeRock, as it validates the value we deliver to our customers as well as our strategy of being the most cloud-friendly, powerful and innovative identity management platform in the market. This report, along with KuppingerCole’s recent Leadership Compass for Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) report, highlights ForgeRock’s strengths as many global organizations rely on the ForgeRock Identity Platform to deliver award-winning customer and employee experiences.”
