Open source company, WSO2<\/a> has been named by technology research firm, KuppingerCole<\/a>, as the sector leader in its Identity API Platforms Leadership Compass 2019 report.<\/p>\n 13 software firms were evaluated in the account. They chose these organisations based on the leadership of three areas.<\/p>\n The first of these was looking at product, specifically at the capabilities and services of their features. The second factor was examining innovation. Here, researchers observed what customers require to keep up with their requirements and the third was investigating market aspects, which was based on a review of global reach and the execution of marketing strategy.<\/p>\n In its evaluation of\u00a0WSO2 Identity Server<\/a>, the report selected the open source company as a leader in each of the three specific areas. The reason that WSO2 was ranked so highly was due to its strengths in security, functionality, interoperability and usability. This also guided the company towards being an overall leader in the sector.<\/p>\n Traditionally, identity and access management (IAM) solutions are centralised and monolithic. However, hybrid environments that span across on-premises and the cloud,<\/a> platforms that provide identity APIs are getting ever more popular.<\/p>\n The KuppingerCole report suggests, \u201cBy exposing key functionality via APIs, it allows for workflow and orchestration capabilities across environments as well as better DevOps support through automation. Another critical characteristic of Identity API Platforms is their focus on being developer-centric. In a nutshell, IAM is continuing to evolve to meet the growing list of IAM requirements.\u201d<\/p>\nThe need for identity API Platforms<\/strong><\/h4>\n
