<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Technology experts around the world impatiently wait for the release of the Gartner 2019 Identity Governance and Administration Magic Quadrant. The research giant published the sixth iteration of the IGA Magic Quadrant in February of 2018. Currently, rumors suggest Gartner plans to release the 2019 Identity Governance and Administration Magic Quadrant sometime in October.<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks to their proprietary research methodology, Gartner\u2019s annual marketplace analyses generate a level of buzz in the tech world only matched by Apple\u2019 keynote speeches. In fact, many experts consider the Magic Quadrant the premier Gartner report in each cybersecurity technology marketplace. Often, enterprise cybersecurity professionals and administrators use Gartner\u2019s findings as a foundation for their research and yearly purchasing decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n However, professionals can\u2019t merely wait patiently for the 2019 Identity Governance and Administration Magic Quadrant. Every day, IT security teams face new attacks on their users\u2019 identities. Role management and permissions visibility persistently plague enterprise cybersecurity schemes. They need to know which capabilities and priorities should comprise their critical identity governance policies.<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore, with the Gartner 2019 Identity Governance and Administration Magic Quadrant still some ways away, we decided to share our own predictions. We share educated guesses on the content of the 2019 Identity Governance and Administration Magic Quadrant and the market\u2019s evolution.<\/span><\/p>\n We base our predictions off Gartner\u2019s definition of <\/span>IGA solutions<\/span><\/a>. According to their previous Magic Quadrant, identity governance forms a crucial component of identity management; it is designed to \u201cmanage digital identity and access rights across multiple systems and applications.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n To do so, identity governance solutions aggregate and correlate identity and permissions data and utilizes it in core functions. These include access requests, access certification, workflow management, identity lifecycle management, permissions granting or removal, and entitlement management.<\/span><\/p>\n Undoubtedly, Gartner weighs several identity management capabilities in all of its IGA report: role management, access requests, entitlements management, etc. However, we believe visibility shall become a major component of the 2019 Identity Governance and Administration Magic Quadrant. <\/span><\/p>\n Visibility and cybersecurity often interrelate. Without visibility, your IT security can\u2019t possibly protect all of your users, accounts, and privileges; you can\u2019t protect what you can\u2019t see. <\/span><\/p>\n For example, lacking visibility into users\u2019 accounts leaves them vulnerable to access creep; they could keep acquiring privileges as they take on new projects without any oversight in removing them. Of course, hackers and insider threats target credentials bloated with permissions above other users\u2019 accounts. After all, they\u2019re so much more valuable than more secure and more visible credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, enterprises continue to struggle with their identity governance visibility. According to the recently released <\/span>SailPoint <\/span>2018 Identity Report<\/span><\/a>, only 20% of enterprises have visibility overall of their users. Moreover, 7% have no visibility whatsoever. Even a small gap in visibility constitutes a massive security vulnerability for enterprises of all sizes. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Most likely, Gartner will consider IGA solutions which increase visibility with greater weight than solutions which can\u2019t provide that kind of cybersecurity insight. In the 2019 Identity Governance and Administration Magic Quadrant, Gartner may very well connect visibility to more effective delivery and identity data traffic control. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In last year\u2019s Magic Quadrant report, Gartner predicted extensive enterprise IGA growth on the cloud over the next few years.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, researchers predicted as much as 40% of business IGA buyers shall select cloud-architected solutions by 2021. By the same token, 15% shall choose cloud-hosted software. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t![\"IAM](\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2021\/02\/Identity_Suggestion_Engine_Horiz_800.gif\" "\\"\\"")
