Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced it was mentioned in the Gartner report, How to Reduce Outage Risks for SaaS-Based IAM Tools¹.

“Downtime in identity systems isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a business-critical issue that can disrupt user access and grind operations to a halt,” said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. “We believe being mentioned in the Gartner report highlights our ability to help organizations maintain continuity and avoid the costly impacts of unexpected outages. This is especially important for organizations in critical industries like banking, manufacturing, telecom and healthcare among others.”

Strata will also deliver a session at the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit, Texas (9-11 December) at Exhibit Showcase Theater 2, as well as showcase its Identity Continuity™ solution at booth #207.

Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity, is a leading authority on identity management. He founded, scaled, and successfully exited both Securant/ClearTrust (Web Access Management) and Symplified (the first IDaaS company). Recently, Eric served as SVP and GM at Oracle, where he ran the identity and security business worldwide. As a technologist, he co-authored the SAML standard, created the first pre-integrated SSO platform, is the visionary behind the Identity Fabric™, and is the author of “Identity Orchestration For Dummies.”

Aldo Pietropaolo, Field CTO, Strata Identity.

At Strata, Aldo applies his expertise in developing resilient and scalable Identity Orchestration solutions.

WHAT:

The session, IAM Resilience in the Real World, will explore how outages in SaaS-based identity providers (IDPs) can bring business operations to a halt. Eric and Aldo will share best practices for architecting resilient identity infrastructures using multiple identity providers (IDPs) and Identity Orchestration for intelligent failover. The presentation will highlight real-world examples across industries, from healthcare to finance, and discuss future innovations in IAM resilience.

Attendees will learn how to design identity systems that remain agile, reliable, and future-proof, even in the face of unexpected failures. Key takeaways will include:

Real-world IAM resilience examples across industries
Best practices for continuity without single points of failure
The role of orchestration in resilient IDP service failover
Balancing resilience with cost efficiency
Future trends in IAM resilience

About Strata Identity

Strata Identity is the leader in Identity Orchestration for multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud. The orchestration recipe-powered platform enables organizations to integrate and control incompatible identity systems with an identity fabric that does not change the user experience or require rewriting apps. Strata also provides identity continuity that prevents application outages by failing over to an alternate on-premises or cloud IDP when the primary IDP goes offline. By decoupling applications from identity, Strata makes it possible to implement modern authentication, like passwordless, and enforce consistent access policies without refactoring apps. The company’s founders created the IDQL (Identity Query Language) standard and Hexa open-source software for multi-cloud policy orchestration and are co-authors of the SAML standard for SSO federation.
