Company evaluated based on its ability to execute and completeness of vision
LEXINGTON, MA — September 22, 2008 — Imprivata®, Inc., the converged authentication and access management company, today announced it has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Single Sign-On1. Imprivata was placed in the Leaders Quadrant based on its ability to execute and completeness of vision.
“Being positioned as a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Single Sign-On reflects our continued commitment to delivering innovative authentication and access management solutions,” said Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata. “Naturally, we’re delighted to be recognized by Gartner and attribute this acknowledgement largely to our dedication to the complete satisfaction of the more than 600 companies worldwide that are realizing meaningful productivity and security gains through their implementation of Imprivata OneSign.”
The OneSign® Platform is a converged authentication and access management solution conveniently packaged in an affordable and secure purpose-built appliance. It seamlessly integrates strong authentication, single sign-on, physical access control and event reporting to provide one enterprise-wide employee information access policy managed and enforced within a single, easy-to-use administrative framework. The Platform offers an effective means to achieve compliance while solving password management problems, reducing IT help desk costs and improving user productivity and security. It also easily integrates with existing systems, leveraging and extending the value of previous security investments throughout the enterprise.
The platform consists of three specific modules—OneSign Authentication Management (AM), which increases network security by replacing network access passwords with strong authentication options; OneSign Single Sign-On (SSO), which quickly and effectively solves password management, security and user access issues; and OneSign Physical/Logical, which integrates network and building access systems to provide a single consolidated user identity. These three modules can be licensed individually or as one complete solution, allowing each organization to adopt the preferred level of security as needed—all with a simple license key upgrade.
Criteria determining the placement of companies within the Gartner Magic Quadrant included marketing strategy; innovation; market understanding; sales strategy; offering (product) strategy; business model; vertical/industry strategy; and geographic strategy.
