Acsense a Gartner Cool Vendor in Identity-first Security
“This announcement further acknowledges that there is a gap in IAM when it comes to disaster recovery and business continuity and we are excited to have this opportunity to innovate and bring solutions to this major problem.”
– Muli Motola, Co-founder and CEO
What is a Gartner Cool Vendor?
According to Gartner, a Cool Vendor must be considered innovative or transformative for products, services or initiatives.
The criteria by which a vendor is defined as “cool” are: innovative, impactful, or intriguing products, services, or initiatives. The vendor is innovative if its offerings allow users to do things they could not do prior. It is impactful if its offerings have or will have a business impact; they are not merely ‘technology for the sake of technology.’
The vendor is intriguing if it has captured Gartner’s interest or curiosity during the past six months.
How Are Identity-Related Attacks Rising?
According to the 2022 Trends in Securing Digital Identities Report, 84% of organizations reported suffering an identity-related breach within the last year.
Identity-related attacks are rising due to the rise of hackers targeting companies.
Look at this story concerning the 0ktapus gang. It will highlight the importance of having an IAM recoverability solution.
A hacking gang called 0ktapus aimed to compromise thousands of accounts at over 130 organizations.
0ktapus launched phishing sites to acquire Okta identity credentials and multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes, and organizations thought their critical SasS were protected in the cloud. But, it was a misconception because, according to CISA (Cloud Security alliance) Cloud, customers are responsible for their data.
Therefore, the organizations needed a solution that provided continuous access to continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.
