ForgeRock Delivers Market-Leading Business Agility
KuppingerCole describes the Access Management and Federation market as moving from addressing tactical IT challenges to now becoming a key technology for the Connected and Intelligent Enterprise. In this new environment, IT has to provide the following four fundamental capabilities:

1. Incoming and outgoing access for both customers, suppliers and other business partners

2. Authentication and access to a growing number of cloud services and mobile devices while continuing to support existing on-premise applications

3. Protection from a growing number of security threats that emanate from new attack vectors

4. The agility to rapidly shift to an open and integrated enterprise that extends beyond the perimeter of the organization itself

Peter Barker, ForgeRock’s chief product officer, said, “We are pleased with the recognition this report brings to ForgeRock, as it validates the value we deliver to our customers as well as our strategy of being the most cloud-friendly, powerful and innovative identity management platform in the market.
