Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced it was mentioned in the Gartner report, How to Reduce Outage Risks for SaaS-Based IAM Tools¹.

“Downtime in identity systems isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a business-critical issue that can disrupt user access and grind operations to a halt,” said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. “We believe being mentioned in the Gartner report highlights our ability to help organizations maintain continuity and avoid the costly impacts of unexpected outages. This is especially important for organizations in critical industries like banking, manufacturing, telecom and healthcare among others.”

Strata will also deliver a session at the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit, Texas (9-11 December) at Exhibit Showcase Theater 2, as well as showcase its Identity Continuity™ solution at booth #207.

About Strata Identity

Strata Identity is the leader in Identity Orchestration for multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud. The orchestration recipe-powered platform enables organizations to integrate and control incompatible identity systems with an identity fabric that does not change the user experience or require rewriting apps. Strata also provides identity continuity that prevents application outages by failing over to an alternate on-premises or cloud IDP when the primary IDP goes offline. By decoupling applications from identity, Strata makes it possible to implement modern authentication, like passwordless, and enforce consistent access policies without refactoring apps. The company’s founders created the IDQL (Identity Query Language) standard and Hexa open-source software for multi-cloud policy orchestration and are co-authors of the SAML standard for SSO federation.
