Online threats are on the rise owing to the increasing use of the Internet for business interactions and transactions. In the wake of COVID-19, the use of the Internet has grown manifold, and remote working continues to be the preferred mode of business process execution. Amid such trends, identity and access management (IAM) cannot be a moving target anymore. Organizations need to find the right solution to address IAM comprehensively as part of their business sustainability plan.

Enter ForgeRock, an innovative digital identity and access management solutions provider that helps people connect in a secure online environment. Founded in 2010, ForgeRock has quickly grown to be the go-to IAM partner for some of the world’s leading organizations, including banks and media companies. The company is at the core of more than a thousand global customer organizations, doing the heavy lifting of validating the user’s identity. Using dynamic access controls, APIs, and authoritative data, it orchestrates, manages, and secures the complete lifecycle of identities in a cloud or hybrid environment. The company’s digital identity platform is used by some of the largest financial institutions, manufacturers, media companies, and government agencies to mitigate identity risk and increase the ROI on digital transformation.

Founded in 2010, the San Francisco-based company is appreciated by its clients for superior digital experiences and scalable identity, governance, and access management that it brings in one suite as part of the platform. The AI-enabled platform uses a dynamic orchestration engine for complete identity lifecycle management.

With an eye on compliance, the platform remains up-to-date with the latest regulations and industry standards and protects connected devices and data streams by adhering to the latest industry standards.The highly customizable nature of the platform improves its value further. More importantly, the platform can be used to manage the identity of not only internal employees but also of customers and things.

The AI-powered ForgeRock Identity Platform is holistic and easy to use. Enabled with full-suite IAM and identity governance and administration (IGA) capabilities, the ForgeRock platform can be implemented across an organization for administrators to seamlessly manage identity relationships across all channels – on premises, in the cloud, and on mobile devices. It brings transparency and predictability into identity management operations using machine learning models, enabling security teams to improve security and compliance performance while keeping the unnecessary cost (caused due to false positives and false negatives) in check.

Another key part of the ForgeRock Identity Platform is the identity gateway, which allows teams to bridge identity and enforce security protocols easily and consistently across business apps, APIs, and microservices. The teams can also plug the vulnerabilities caused due to IoT devices by building trusted identity relationships based on contextual security and open standards. Identity governance is simplified as the platform smartly regulates users’ excessive or unnecessary access to applications, systems, and data. The experience is highly personalized, thanks to the dynamic orchestration and intelligence engine, which captures rich context to make continuous access decisions. The individual profile is easily managed through a centralized dashboard. Besides, it also helps in ensuring maximum compliance with data privacy regulations.

Such capabilities have enabled ForgeRock’s clients to deliver highly personalized, modern online experiences to their customers. In a client testimonial, Greg Kalinsky, SVP and CIO, GEICO, said, “We selected ForgeRock as our IAM technology partner because of their success in delivering the ForgeRock Identity Platform in an easy-to-deploy, highly scalable approach to enterprise, cloud, and mobile environments. To us, ForgeRock understood what it meant to create a modern, best-in-class web experience for our large and exceedingly diverse customer base.” GEICO thought of adopting a traditional enterprise identity and access management solution, but technology integration and scalability concerns were high with them. With ForgeRock’s easy-to-deploy and highly scalable platform, the company went on to fulfil its goals of enabling a modern, best-in-class web experience for its customers.

With growing innovation competence, ForgeRock continues to secure the online world in a more meaningful way.
