ARCON has been named an “Overall Leader” in the 2022 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Privileged Access Management report, written by Paul Fisher, lead analyst of KuppingerCole Analysts AG.

The phenomenal run for ARCON as a business organization that focuses on protecting digital identities and vaults (for securing secrets) continues, as earlier in 2022, ARCON was named a “Leader” in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management.

For the second year in a row, ARCON has been named an “Overall Leader” in the Kuppingercole Leadership Compass. This recognition is a reiteration of the fact that ARCON is a global leader in the Privileged Access Management (PAM) space. More information on the Leadership Compass report can be found here.

In the latest edition of KuppingerCole’s Leadership Compass for Privileged Access Management, the analyst evaluated 25 privileged access management vendors to prepare a comparative analysis and the leadership compass. While ARCON climbed the ladder in the “Overall Leader” compass, we have also been recognized as an: 

• Innovation Leader
• Product Leader.
• Market Leader (more can be read here)

The Leadership Compass report provides a deep-dive analysis of the privileged access management market. The research has a set of criteria to evaluate the vendors based on their product and technology capabilities, including their market presence. This Overall Leadership provides a combined view of the vendors’ ratings for their products, market presence, and innovation road map. ARCON performed superbly in all the parameters.

Today, a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution has become an absolute must for large enterprises, mid-size companies, and small scale organizations. In addition to ensuring data security, a PAM solution helps organizations comply with regulatory requirements. For this research report, based on the customer-centric feedback and product research, KuppingerCole Analysts AG considered the classic PAM capabilities and extended PAM capabilities to evaluate the vendors.

A big shout-out to the ARCON team and its broader ecosystem. ARCON’s vision is to create a stack of products for global enterprises to provide a robust access control framework. These products can work not only for devices but also across systems and applications. Our goal is to constantly innovate and add new features and functionalities that can address emerging access control use cases. Our achievement as an “Overall Leader” in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for 2022 confirms that we are on the right path.

ARCON believes in consistency, and consistency is the key ingredient to success. This is exactly what happened in 2022, another eventful year, when ARCON continued to make rapid progress on its global expansion plans, win the customers’ accolades, and win their trust even as our flagship product, ARCON | Privileged Access Management managed to outperform the competition by a long way in terms of product capabilities and functionality.

While the last year was punctuated by global recognitions and awards all through the year, one of the best things that happened was the emergence of our new solution, the Converged Identity Platform. We believe that Converged Identity Management will be the next big thing in the IAM space, as security and risk management professionals are increasingly looking to implement a centralized platform to manage, control, and govern all kinds of digital identities (human and non-human) with standardized policy enforcement. Earlier in 2022, ARCON successfully implemented its SaaS-delivered Converged Identity Management platform for a large manufacturing company.

Here are some of the high points for ARCON as an organization:

While deploying privileged access management is one thing, the ability to address numerous use cases seamlessly is the most important part for IT security professionals. A mature PAM should provide support for critical use cases such as Privilege Elevation and Delegation Management, Cloud Infrastructure and Entitlement Management, Secrets Management among many others.

Gartner, in one its widely read reports, the Critical Capabilities for Privileged Access Management rated ARCON | PAM the highest in all 5 use cases that were evaluated by its analyst team. In product and service for PASM, Windows PEDM, UNIX/ Linux and MacOS PEDM, Secrets Management and CIEM, ARCON scored the highest in all with 4.03, 3.70, 4.0, 4.80, and 3.60 (out of 5) respectively.

As GEC (Global Enterprise Event) Media Group celebrated their tenth anniversary, they organized a grand awards ceremony to celebrate the reigning champions in the IT security industry in the MEA region. ARCON has been awarded “Top Vendor – Enterprise Security” by GEC Awards. It is one of the prestigious and popular awards in the MEA region that is acknowledged by industry leaders and IT security professionals. The respected jury scrutinizes every bit of progress and innovation in the IT security space and makes sure that only the right vendors are honored and recognized. ARCON is proud to be the deserving one!

This recognition reemphasized the fact that ARCON is a customer-centric company.

 In the report, ARCON also had an average of 88% of customers who were willing to recommend it. And while we continue to expand in the North American market and win large enterprise PAM projects across the industry verticals  and across the world, we have also been recognized as a Customers’ Choice for midsize enterprises.
