How to evaluate Identity & Access Management

CIOPages Research Team evaluation framework for this category — not an assessment of Socure. From our Identity & Access Management (IAM) buyer guide.

30%

Authentication & SSO

Phishing-resistant MFA and passkeys/FIDO2 as first-class methods, device-bound credentials, SAML/OIDC/WS-Fed breadth, adaptive and risk-based step-up, device trust, session management and continuous evaluation, and graceful fallback and recovery that does not become the help-desk attack vector

20%

Lifecycle & Provisioning

HR-driven joiner-mover-leaver automation, SCIM and LDAP provisioning, depth and maintenance of the application connector catalog, self-service access requests, fast and reliable deprovisioning, and handling of contractors, partners, and seasonal populations

15%

Directory & Hybrid Architecture

Universal/cloud directory, coexistence with on-prem Active Directory and LDAP, hybrid agents and write-back, multi-domain and multi-forest support, data residency options, and the resilience and blast radius of the directory as a revenue-critical dependency

15%

Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)

Post-authentication risk evaluation, session and token-theft detection, anomaly and impossible-travel signals, identity security posture (dormant accounts, over-privilege, MFA gaps), and how cleanly signals flow to and from the SIEM/XDR and trigger automated response

10%

Machine & Agent Identity

Issuance of scoped, short-lived credentials for service accounts, workloads, and first-party APIs (OAuth client-credentials, workload identity federation), discovery and governance of non-human identities, secrets handling, and emerging support for AI-agent identities acting on a user’s behalf

10%

Deployment, Integration & Commercial Fit

Pre-built connectors for your actual top applications (verified, not catalog-counted), migration tooling and coexistence, API and SDK quality, administrative usability, the pricing unit relative to your user and machine population, and the realism of support and professional services

API Security Platforms

The API is now the primary attack surface, and a WAF pointed at it isn't API security. Evaluate Salt, Akamai (Noname), Imperva, F5, Traceable, Wallarm, Cequence, and Data Theorem on whether they actually discover your shadow APIs and catch BOLA and business-logic abuse at runtime — not just sign endpoints off as “protected.”

Attack Surface Management (ASM / CTEM)

Evaluate Wiz, CrowdStrike Falcon Surface, Microsoft Defender EASM, Cortex Xpanse, Censys, CyCognito, Tenable, and runZero across EASM, CAASM, and platform-embedded camps — judged on discovery accuracy and how cleanly the surface feeds prioritization, not how many assets it claims to find.

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

Evaluate Netskope, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Zscaler, and Palo Alto for SaaS security, shadow IT discovery, and data protection.
