Device Authority Named a Gartner Cool Vendor in Identity and Access Management 2015 Report

Device Authority, a Silicon Valley security start-up, today announced that it has been included in the list of “Cool Vendors” in the Identity and Access Management, 2015 report by Gartner, Inc. The report offers IAM, CISOs and other security leaders with a unique perspective on five innovative vendors providing new approaches and technologies to secure identity and access management.

The report highlights a number of key findings and notes that, “The Internet of Things (IoT) creates new populations of users that require authentication just as people do. However, because ‘knowledge’ and ‘biometric’ factors apply only to people, IAM leaders must consider other options to achieve higher-trust, ‘two-factor’ authentication for things.” The report also finds “Things are entities that people interact with, and such interactions demand that people can authenticate themselves to things. Thus, IAM leaders will need to find authentication methods that can be integrated with things as well as endpoint devices, business applications and so on.”
