I'm excited to share another in-depth research piece I've worked on for several months: The Future of Cloud-Native Identity Security. This research was done in collaboration with Alex Krongold of SentinelOne Ventures and Daniel Bartus at Felicis. We talked to many Identity leaders, CISOs, and founders to examine the modern workforce identity landscape and the crucial trends shaping its future. Here are some highlights: Traditionally, the identity landscape has involved: 1) Authentication (led by Microsoft Security and Okta) 2) Identity Governance and Administration (led by SailPoint ) 3) Privileged Access Management (led by CyberArk) As more enterprises move to the cloud and a proliferation of SaaS Apps continues to raise visibility concerns into digital identities, we anticipate a future consolidated identity platform that resembles something like this: 1) Visibility/Posture management 2) Authentication/Validation 3) Lifecycle Management (IGA + PAM + CIEM) 4) Analytics/Intelligence Layer 5) Identity Detection & Response (ITDR) This platform combines some of the components of the market map below. Emerging vendors like P0 Security, Veza, ConductorOne, Opal Security and many more are gradually creating this futuristic workforce identity platform. We continue to be impressed by CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Cisco's role within ITDR. If you're new to the identity ecosystem, the report gives you a full, in-depth overview. Please refer to the full report for a detailed overview of the identity landscape: https://lnkd.in/gQ-EaZCX *** A big thank you to P0 Security (An RSA Sandbox finalist) and Veza for supporting my research work and enabling me to go deep into this market. Thank you to all the founders, CEOs and identity leaders who spoke to us.
