December 06, 2024,Burlington, Mass., United States : RSA, the security-first identity leader, announced today that RSA® ID Plus, the world’s most secure identity and access management (IAM) platform has been named a Niche Player in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Access Management.
With only ten organizations named to the Gartner report, RSA believes that the Magic Quadrant signals the world’s top IAM vendors. ID Plus brings comprehensive identity protection to some of the world’s most security-sensitive organizations across banking, securities, insurance, and government. Available as SaaS, on-premises, or in hybrid configurations, ID Plus offers organizations flexibility in deployment and specialization in high-security workforce environments. Through various subscription models featuring a range of editions and add-ons, ID Plus meets diverse needs, supporting the evolving workforce requirements and regulatory landscapes throughout North America, South America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific markets.
RSA believes that several capabilities and strengths contributed to ID Plus being listed in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Access Management, including:
High customer satisfaction and retention
Specialization in workforce use cases, particularly for high-security verticals
Broad support for cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments
A high-availability, high-security failover process that ensures uninterrupted access even during cloud outages
Integrations with existing data and applications that enable buyers to maintain local configurations
“For decades, RSA has set the standard in secure authentication, but our story goes far beyond that. Seeing ID Plus break into the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Access Management and being recognized as a workforce security specialist, we feel, highlights the work we’ve done to develop a unified identity platform capable of securing the entire identity lifecycle and protecting highly regulated industries,” said RSA CEO Rohit Ghai.
“We feel that being named to the Gartner Magic Quadrant establishes RSA as one of the world’s top ten IAM vendors, and we’re not planning on going anywhere,” said RSA Chief Product and Technology Officer Jim Taylor, who detailed why workforce access management challenges organizations, how RSA supports customer access management, and the organization’s access management roadmap in a new blog post. “Workforce access management is hard because it demands balancing security, usability, and scalability without getting any component wrong. I’d rather RSA be known as a workforce security specialist than an access generalist: that’s always been where RSA delivers the most value and what our customers need. With hundreds of IAM vendors worldwide, this recognition validates our commitment to delivering the full range of access, authentication, governance, and lifecycle capabilities that every organization requires.”
“While we may be new to the Magic Quadrant, security-first industries have relied on our access management solutions for years,” said RSA President and Chief Business Officer Greg Nelson. “Security-first leaders in government, finance, energy, and other regulated industries have long trusted RSA to deliver robust identity security solutions. We believe this recognition from Gartner underscores the strength of our strategy and reinforces our commitment to lead across every component of identity.”
Recent enhancements to ID Plus—including expanded identity insights, Bring Your Own Identity (BYOI) options, and OAuth 2.0 capabilities supporting machine-to-machine and IoT access—will bring further workforce security depth to the solution. RSA will introduce mobile passkey functionality, advanced directory enhancements, and increased AI and machine learning capabilities to assist security administrators in mitigating evolving threats.
RSA will showcase these innovations at the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit from December 9-11 in Grapevine, Texas. Attendees are invited to visit RSA at booth 633 to experience demonstrations of the latest passwordless authentication and identity governance and administration (IGA) advancements.
