Access Management

Gartner defines access management (AM) as tools that include authentication and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities, and that establish, manage and enforce runtime access controls for modern standards-based and classic web applications and APIs. AM’s purpose is to enable SSO access for people (employees, consumers and other users) and machines to protected applications in a streamlined and consistent way that enhances the user experience. AM is also responsible for providing security controls to protect the user session in runtime, enforcing authentication and authorization using adaptive access. Lastly, AM can provide identity context for other cybersecurity tools and reliant applications to enable identity-first security.

Cloud Office Migration Tools

'Cloud office migration' refers to the process of consolidating and transferring a collection of workloads. Workloads can include emails, files, calendars, document types, related metadata, instant messages, applications, user permissions, compound structure and linked components. Migration of such workloads from at least one permanent on-premises platform or cloud office to a new cloud office environment, across a variety of similar product classes, is typical. During the migration process, enterprises will choose to cleanse their existing platforms by archiving old and outdated data. Migration tools are able to conduct an analysis of the respective workloads, identify if the data is deemed suitable for migration while maintaining its integrity, migrate the data between the source and target, and ensure governance in the subsequent platform.

Crisis/Emergency Management Solutions

Crisis/Emergency Management Solutions help organizations consistently orchestrate and manage the data, resources, expenditures, communications and tasks used for response, recovery and restoration activities during and after a crisis. C/EMP solutions are also used to analyze the changing conditions during a crisis to ensure situational awareness as well as to ensure crisis/emergency management (C/EM) procedures are in compliance with government emergency management standards. Historically, C/EMP solutions have been used by government agencies, utilities and transportation organizations to manage the large public safety impacts of a crisis. However, other industries, including financial services and HDOs, are starting to use C/EMP solutions to demonstrate command and control across a mix of internal and external stakeholders during crisis events, as well as to align with national emergency/incident response management frameworks

Data Preparation Tools

Data preparation is an iterative and agile process for finding, combining, cleaning, transforming and sharing curated datasets for various data and analytics use cases including analytics/business intelligence (BI), data science/machine learning (ML) and self-service data integration. Data preparation tools promise faster time to delivery of integrated and curated data by allowing business users including analysts, citizen integrators, data engineers and citizen data scientists to integrate internal and external datasets for their use cases. Furthermore, they allow users to identify anomalies and patterns and improve and review the data quality of their findings in a repeatable fashion. Some tools embed ML algorithms that augment and, in some cases, completely automate certain repeatable and mundane data preparation tasks. Reduced time to delivery of data and insight is at the heart of this market.

Digital Communications Governance and Archiving Solutions

Digital communications governance and archiving solutions (DCGA) are designed to enforce corporate governance and regulatory compliance across a growing number of digital communication tools available to employees. For the various communication tools in use across the enterprise, DCGA solutions enable consistent policy management, enforcement and reporting capabilities. Enterprise organizations face a growing number of regulatory mandates, such as the Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA), Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In addition, they must adhere to corporate governance guidelines, such as proper employee conduct and handling of sensitive data, in the use of digital communication tools. The DCGA market aligns to vendors that develop archive- and platform-integrated solutions, which capture and analyze communication channels, and those that solely develop communication connectors to a variety of communication tools used by enterprises. Organizations utilize DCGA solutions to proactively manage and collect communication content. As part of their direct integration and ability to centralize access to communication data, DCGA solutions facilitate multiple use cases such as supervision, surveillance, e-discovery and data insights. While email has been the most traditional communication channel in the scope of DCGA solutions, there are multiple types of communication channels to be factored into a governance strategy. The scope of these communication tools is constantly changing as new messaging applications are frequently introduced to the market and adopted by employees. Recent evidence suggests enterprise organizations’ customers are dictating the communication tool of choice.

Disaster Recovery as a Service

Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) market provides for the recovery of enterprise applications at another location in the event of a disaster. The provider can deliver the service as a fully managed, assisted recovery or as a self-service offering. DRaaS is designed to ensure business continuity by providing organizations with a cloud-based solution for recovering critical workloads and data in the event of a disruption, outage or disaster. This service is particularly valuable for organizations that lack the resources, expertise or geographically distanced secondary data centers required for traditional disaster recovery strategies. DRaaS addresses the need for rapid, reliable recovery, enabling organizations to minimize downtime and data loss, and to meet their business continuity objectives.

SaaS Management Platforms

Gartner defines SaaS management platforms (SMPs) as software tools that aim to help organizations discover, manage, optimize and automate the SaaS application life cycle from one centralized console. Core SMP capabilities include discovery, cost optimization, employee self-service via an application store, insights to increase adoption and automation of onboarding/offboarding activities. As SaaS adoption accelerates, IT leaders will struggle to discover and support SaaS-hosted applications in accordance with company, market or geographic policies and regulations. Increased SaaS costs — combined with limited visibility into the entire SaaS portfolio (including unapproved SaaS) and high levels of overdeployed and underconsumed licenses — result in significant financial, operational and cybersecurity risk.
