(Editor’s Note: Gartner released its 2018 iteration of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Governance and Administration, which you can read here.<\/a>\u00a0We’ve left this article up as part of historical preservation efforts\u2014it is just as important to understand how cybersecurity technology has evolved as to understand where it is now. Furthermore, we believe that many of the best practices in this article are just as relevant today as they were the year prior.)\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Analyst house Gartner, Inc. has released the latest iteration of its annual Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) Magic Quadrant (MQ) report.<\/p>\n

In the Gartner 2017 Magic Quadrant for IGA,, Gartner evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of 13 vendors that it considers most significant in the IGA market, and provides readers with a graph (the Magic Quadrant) plotting the vendors based on their ability to execute and their completeness of vision. The graph is divided into four quadrants: niche players, challengers, visionaries, and leaders. Gartner does not endorse any vendor, product, or service depicted in its research publications.<\/p>\n

This is the fifth iteration of the\u00a0Gartner 2017 Magic Quadrant for IGA report after the Gartner introduced the category in 2013, and\u00a0<\/em>it comes at an interesting time,\u00a0as the market has hit a point of maturity where most can perform sufficiently in common use cases, and thus must look for new ways to differentiate their products.<\/p>\n

At Solutions Review, we read the report,\u00a0and pulled a few of what we considered the most important takeaways and key changes since the 2016 IGA MQ.<\/p>\n

What is IGA?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Gartner 2017 Magic Quadrant, IGA solutions are tools that \u201cmanage digital identity and access rights across multiple systems.\u201d They accomplish this by\u00a0aggregating and correlating identity and access rights data that is distributed throughout the IT landscape, in order to enhance control over user access.\u00a0This aggregated data serves as the basis for what Gartner considers the core IGA functions:<\/p>\n
