Privacera Recognized in Gartner’s Unlocking the Future of Authorization Management Report

Authorization is a base of modern security frameworks, ensuring that only the right individuals or systems have access to the right resources at the right time. Yet, despite its critical importance, many organizations face significant challenges in implementing effective authorization strategies.

The complexity of managing authorization across diverse systems, applications, and environments has led to fragmented practices, increased risks of unauthorized access, and operational inefficiencies. To address these challenges, Authorization Management Platforms (AMPs) have emerged as a solution to centralize and externalize authorization policies.

Among the leaders in this space is Privacera, and, yes, we were recognized in a recent Gartner report as a representative provider of AMPs. This recognition emphasises Privacera’s unique approach to solving the challenges of authorization management.

The Challenges of Authorization Management

Authorization, despite being critical to governance, is often implemented inconsistently across applications and systems. Many organizations rely on siloed, application-specific authorization logic, which leads to:

• Inconsistent practices that increase the risk of unauthorized access.
• Higher operational costs due to redundant efforts in managing policies.
• Limited scalability as organizations struggle to adapt to evolving security and compliance requirements.

Compounding these issues is the lack of universally accepted standards for authorization, which has resulted in disparate and non-interoperable frameworks. This fragmented landscape makes it difficult for organizations to achieve consistent, secure access across their enterprise.

Why Privacera Stands Out

Privacera is not just another AMP provider – it is a leader in addressing the complexities of modern authorization management. Here’s what sets Privacera apart:

1. Recognition in the Gartner Report
   Privacera’s inclusion in the Gartner report as a representative provider highlights its leadership in the AMP space. This recognition reflects Privacera’s ability to deliver innovative solutions that address the most pressing challenges in authorization management.

2. Unified Data Security and Access Governance
   Privacera integrates data security and access governance into a single platform, enabling organizations to manage both authorization and compliance seamlessly. This unified approach ensures that data is not only accessible to the right users but also protected in accordance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA.

3. Comprehensive Policy Orchestration
   Managing authorization policies across diverse systems and applications is a significant challenge for many organizations. Privacera’s policy orchestration capabilities simplify this process, ensuring consistent and scalable access control across commercial applications, infrastructure, and data platforms.

4. Interoperability and Standards Leadership
   Privacera is at the forefront of adopting and promoting emerging standards like AuthZEN, which aim to improve interoperability between authorization components. By prioritizing standards compliance, Privacera helps organizations avoid vendor lock-in and ensures that their authorization frameworks can evolve alongside their business needs.

5. Dynamic, Real-Time Authorization
   Privacera enables dynamic, real-time policy evaluation, taking into account contextual factors such as user roles, location, and threat intelligence. This capability enhances security by ensuring that access decisions are always accurate and up-to-date.
6. Developer-Friendly Approach
   By externalizing authorization logic, Privacera reduces the burden on developers, allowing them to focus on building applications rather than managing access control code. This approach not only improves efficiency but also accelerates the adoption of emerging standards and technologies.

Delivering Measurable Business Value

Privacera’s approach to authorization management is designed to deliver measurable business value. By focusing on high-impact areas and implementing an incremental strategy, Privacera helps organizations achieve quick wins while building a foundation for long-term success.

Organizations that have implemented Privacera have reported:

• Reduced risk of unauthorized access through automated policy deployment and least-privilege access.
• Improved compliance with externalized, auditable policies that simplify regulatory reporting.
• Increased efficiency by centralizing policy management and freeing up developer resources.

The Gartner Perspective

The recent Gartner report highlights the growing importance of AMPs in addressing the challenges of modern authorization management. Privacera’s inclusion in this report underscores its leadership in the field and its ability to deliver solutions that meet the evolving needs of organizations.

The Path Forward

As the threat landscape continues to evolve and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, the need for advanced, standards-based AMPs will only grow. Privacera is not just keeping pace with these changes—it is driving them.

For organizations looking to overcome the challenges of authorization management, Privacera offers a proven, innovative solution.
