Description

The global Identity and Access Management market is a rarity in the communications industry’s software sector. It is a mature market of approximately 20 years, dating back to the early days of password management; yet, after continuous innovation and evolution in the face of serious scale, security, and productivity challenges, IAM is now entering its heyday. Because of the market opportunity that solution suppliers see in front of them, they are jostling for position with new strategies to reap the benefits.

One company is doing the unexpected. Centrify has decided it makes good sense to focus intently on one discipline, and is spinning off its Identity and Access Management portfolio into a new company called Idaptive, in order to focus on Privileged Access Management using the Centrify brand.

This report examines some of the trends in the Identity and Access Management market, as well as the Centrify/Idaptive strategy to move forward as separate entities.
