The Leadership Compass shows that Dynamic Authorization Management is arguably the most exciting area in identity and access management today. It is the way in which organizations leverage their identity and access management environment to control access to restricted resources. Access control to file shares, network subnets, document repositories and applications can now be made in real-time by a centrally-managed decision point, using attributes in a user’s directory entry. The benefits are significant: access policies become centralized and software development is simplified. By externalizing access control decisions, business management is improved and costs are reduced.

There can be no question that selecting the right Dynamic Authorization Management product requires extensive prior analysis of the specific initial situation. To support this process, KuppingerCole´s Leadership Compass offers an overview of the providers of Dynamic Authorization Management solutions, among which KuppingerCole distinguishes between “Leaders” in four categories:

In all four categories, KuppingerCole distinguishes between Leaders, Challengers and Followers. While the Leaders are classified according to the criteria listed above, the Challengers are expected by KuppingerCole to steadily develop and expand the existing strengths of the products they offer. The Followers group contains companies where there is still room for development in several areas.
