Centrify Recognized as a 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Privileged Access Management, Worldwide

Centrify, a leading provider of cloud-ready Zero Trust Privilege to secure modern enterprises, today announced it has been recognized as a March 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Privileged Access Management Solutions. Gartner (News - Alert) defines Privileged Access Management as solutions "that help organizations provide secure privileged access to critical assets and meet compliance requirements by managing and monitoring privileged accounts and access." Centrify Zero Trust Privilege Services help customers grant least privilege access based on verifying who is requesting access, the context of the request, and the risk of the access environment.

"Gartner provides a wonderful forum for the market to receive direct feedback from customers about the value they are deriving from Centrify's Zero Trust Privilege Services. We are thrilled to be named a March 2019 Customer's Choice from our customers on Gartner Peer Insights," said Tim Steinkopf, CEO of Centrify. "We are redefining legacy PAM with cloud-ready solutions that help enterprises reduce risk and secure privileged access to modern attack surfaces. Centrify thanks our customers who continue to place their confidence in us, and who helped us secure this valued distinction."

The 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Privileged Access Management Solutions follows several industry recognitions for Centrify over the past few months, including Gartner analysts recognizing Centrify as a Leader in the first-ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management in December 2018.

The Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice is a recognition of vendors in this market by verified end-user professionals, taking into account both the number of reviews and the overall user ratings. To ensure a fair evaluation, Gartner maintains rigorous criteria for recognizing vendors with a high rate of customer satisfaction. To earn this distinction, a vendor must have a minimum of 50 published reviews with an aerage overall rating of 4.2 stars or higher.

Centrify is redefining the legacy approach to Privileged Access Management by delivering cloud-ready Zero Trust Privilege to secure modern enterprise attack surfaces. Zero Trust Privilege mandates a "never trust, always verify, enforce least privilege" approach. Organizations may consider approaching Privileged Access Management by solely implementing password vaults, leaving gaps that can easily be exploited. Zero Trust Privilege combines password vaulting with brokering of identities, multi-factor authentication enforcement and "just enough" privilege, all while securing remote access and monitoring of all privileged sessions.
