Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance (dec 2011)

Peter Geelen — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:11:33 +0000

According to Gartner, “The Identity and Access Governance (IAG) market addresses customer requirements that are beyond identity administration. IAG tools seek to deliver IAM directly to the business or end user, rather than the operational IT administrator. It also provides for the first time relevant features for IAM to be part of an IT governance program at an enterprise. Many of these governance-centric features focus on the collection and delivery of the right kind of intelligence to the business and IT user to have better governance over the life cycle of identities used in access.”

Sailpoint has been named leader in the Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 11,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
