Idaptive Named to CRN’s ‘Tech Innovators’ for Security & Identity Management for 2019
We're honored to be named to CRN's 'Tech Innovators' for Security & Identity Management - our third channel recognition this year from CRN.
From launching our partner program to taking home several industry accolades and recognitions, it’s been a big first year for Idaptive’s channel program. But we’re not finished yet. Today, we’re proud to announce that CRN has named Idaptive to this year’s Tech Innovators list for security and identity management.
The annual list celebrates the IT channel’s most ground-breaking hardware, software, and services. Tech Innovators are vetted and selected by CRN’s editorial team – who parsed through over 300 products across 39 tech categories – and picked only the most innovative technologies that help solution providers and their customers capitalize on the latest in technological advancements to solve end users’ IT challenges.
Idaptive is committed to enabling organizations across industries to achieve a Zero Trust approach to cybersecurity, and the channel is key to making that vision a reality. Our channel partners play a critical role in putting Idaptive’s Next-Gen Access solutions to work, protecting organizations and reducing costs related to managing identity and access across entire business ecosystems. We launched our partner program from scratch earlier this year, and since then it has grown to include a total of 152 solution providers and technology integrators, account for nearly 80 percent of our sales to date, and net three channel-based award wins all along the way.
Brian Krause, Idaptive’s Director of Worldwide Channels (and a two-time CRN Channel Chief himself), explains that this recognition is further validation that we’re leading the pack when it comes to innovation in security to bring Next-Gen Access to a wider market.
“Idaptive continues to deliver Next-Gen Access solutions to its customers and partners worldwide, helping them adopt a Zero Trust approach and reduce the risk of data breaches,” said Krause. “Being recognized as a ‘Tech Innovator’ signals our ongoing channel growth, and our ability to seamlessly enable providers to support their customers with cloud-based IAM, powered by state-of-the-art technology like machine learning.”
Being named to Tech Innovators is our third channel recognition this year from CRN. We’re honored to be included among the companies on this year’s list as IAM becomes an increasingly important fundamental for companies undergoing digital transformations and moving to the cloud. Idaptive helps companies make that transition securely with ease by improving employee productivity, enhancing customer and partner experiences, and reducing the risk of weak or default passwords – the primary cause of security breaches. But don’t just take our word for it, ask any of our more than 2,000 customers how Idaptive has given them watertight security and peace of mind!
This year’s Tech Innovators list is set to be featured in the December 2019 issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/TechInnovators. For more information on Idaptive, and to start your free trial today, visit: https://www.idaptive.com/free-trial/.
