Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management (2018 - 2022)

Gartner defines the privileged access management (PAM) market as tools that “discover, manage and govern privileged accounts on multiple systems and applications; control access to privileged accounts, including shared and emergency access; and monitor, record, audit and analyze privileged access, sessions and actions.”

PAM is often equated with Identity and Access Management (IAM), a similar practice. In order to qualify for inclusion in this quadrant, vendors must deliver a service that features the following characteristics:

Tools to discover, map, and report any privileged accounts on multiple devices, applications, endpoints, and systems
A hardened, secured, and highly available vault for storing secrets and credentials
User interfaces to review privileged credentials
Tools to automatically rotate and manage credentials for service, administrative, device, system, and application accounts
Support for role-based administration including centralized policy management
Reporting and analytics tools of privileged accounts
