Centrify cites a desire to redefine legacy PAM approaches as part of its motivation for this decision. Their redefinition of legacy PAM will, in turn, hinge on the idea of zero trust. Zero Trust is designed to prevent privileged credential abuse\u2014one of the top enterprise data breach causes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"iam-inject\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/get-a-free-privilieged-access-management-solutions-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2020\/01\/PAM_BG_SB_800.gif\" alt=\"Download Link to Privileged Access Management Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simultaneously, Centrify announced it will be spinning out its IDaaS business into a stand-alone solution provider called Idapative. Idaptive will emphasize single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and user behavior analytics in its solutions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a part of this announcement, Centrify announced Co-Founder and current CEO Tom Kemp will transition out of his current role. He will continue to serve in an \u201cactive strategic advisory role\u201d according to the vendor\u2019s press release. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On January 1, 2019, Centrify CFO Tim Steinkopf will take on the role of CEO. Danny Kibel, Vice President of Engineering and Operations and Lead Developer of Centrify\u2019s IDaaS solutions, will become CEO of Idaptive on January 1, 2019. Leadership teams for both companies will comprise of existing Centrify executives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a statement, Steinkopf said: \u201cAs traditional network perimeters dissolve, organizations must discard the old model of \u2018trust but verify\u2019 that relied on well-defined boundaries. Zero Trust mandates a \u2018never trust, always verify, enforce least privilege\u2019 approach to privileged access, from inside or outside the network. This model, which we call Zero Trust Privilege, will be Centrify\u2019s singular focus, leveraging years of innovation and leadership to secure the \u2018keys to the kingdom\u2019 for our customers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Steinkopf further added: \u201cThe more we looked at our business, the clearer it became that a huge opportunity existed to create two organizations that can each better focus on innovation, accelerate their respective roadmaps, and ensure customer success. Our new relationship with PE firm Thoma Bravo gives us the flexibility to execute this strategy and positions both companies for organic and inorganic growth to strengthen their market positions and offer even better PAM and IDaaS solutions, respectively, to secure the enterprise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Centrify was acquired by private equity investment firm Thoma Bravo earlier this year.
