The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated trends toward Zero Trust (ZT) architectures. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is often a key technology addition that can help realize Zero Trust as well as decrease risks of insider threat and some types of industrial espionage. Organizations are moving to passwordless and MFA methods to increase security and decrease support costs. These are some key findings of the latest Leadership Compass on Enterprise Authentication by KuppingerCole Analysts AG.

Vendors of access management solutions are increasingly trying to differentiate themselves from one another.

A growing number of organizations are not only standardizing on ServiceNow as their IT service management (ITSM) platform, but also as the standard user interface for requesting any type of IT services. At the same time, the demand for integrations between Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) and ServiceNow is increasing.

In order to cope better with a changing business, IT, and threat environment, the demand for Security Operations Center-as-a-Service (SOCaaS) is increasing. SOCaaS is driven by the move to cloud and the inability to deal with security alert overload. These are core findings of the most recent Market Compass by KuppingerCole Analysts AG.
