Digital transformation and accelerated cloud migrations are evolving IT trends that create complexity. As a result, many organizations are facing more challenging security scenarios as the IT estate expands via the cloud, containers, microservices, DevOps environments and more. This is driving demand for cloud-first privileged access management solutions to secure the modern threatscape and protect human and non-human identities.
According to the latest Gartner worldwide security and risk management spending forecast, spending on privileged access management is expected to grow 17% to reach $2 billion in 2021.
Centrify was previously named a Leader in 2018 and 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management reports. Thycotic was also named a Leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management.
