Strata Identity Named a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Reduce IAM Technical Debt Report

Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced it has been named a Representative Vendor by Gartner in the 2024 Reduce IAM Technical Debt¹ report by Nat Krishnan and Erik Wahlstrom. As stated in the research: "Technical debt weakens the agility of an IAM team and the effectiveness of organizational security controls. Security and risk management technical professionals must tackle siloed tools, legacy integrations, incomplete discovery, poor IAM hygiene and dif?cult onboarding processes to resolve it (IAM Technical Debt)."

According to the Gartner, Inc. report: "Security and risk management technical professionals focusing on reducing IAM technical debt must:

• Improve agility in the modernization of legacy IAM by incrementally migrating siloed IAM tools to a common IAM architecture.
• Use identity fabric principles, as described in this document, for assessing their IAM deployments and weaving the required tools together to address their business and security requirements."

"Strata's Maverics identity orchestration platform uses an identity fabric that decouples identity from applications to bridge siloed identity systems across multi-cloud, on-premises, and hybrid identity infrastructures, while eliminating the need for organizations to rewrite their applications," said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. "We believe that Maverics reduces IAM technical debt by enabling customers to modernize legacy identity systems, allowing legacy and cloud IAM systems to co-exist and unifying incompatible cloud identity providers."

The Gartner report also states: "The following questions must be evaluated by IAM teams in order to decide whether to retain or replace an existing IAM tool.

• Can the tool be integrated into the centralized-decentralized architecture?
• Is the tool composable, so that its capabilities can be centrally orchestrated?
• Does it provide adaptive and continuous risk signals to other tools?
• Does it provide observability so that the events can be monitored easily?
• Does the tool protect end-user data and privacy?
• Does it meet with central governance processes?"
