WALLIX GROUP 
WALLIX (Euronext – ALLIX), European expert in the governance of privileged accounts, has today announced its designation as a "product leader" in the annual Leadership Compass 2019 report by the analyst firm KuppingerCole Analysts. For the second year running WALLIX has been recognized as a leading player in PAM[1] on the world market, and as the top European challenger among the current American "Market Leaders". This new report supports and confirms the development strategy announced by WALLIX in its "Ambition 21" plan to become a European leader in the cybersecurity market.
According to the report, "PAM has emerged as one of the most crucial IAM[2] technologies that have a direct relevance and impact on an organization's cybersecurity program. PAM has evolved into a set of crucial technologies for preventing security breaches and credential thefts. PAM today concerns Security and Risk Management leaders as well as Infrastructure and Operation (I&O) leaders across the industries for several security and operational benefits".
According to Anmol Singh, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole and an expert in Privileged Access Management, "WALLIX has made significant progress over the last few years by executing on a well-laid innovative product roadmap." Organizations with common SAPM[3] and AAPM[4] needs with strong encryption and PSM[5] requirements should consider WALLIX Bastion on their shortlist".
The report ranks players and account management solutions according to 9 criteria: security, functionality, usability, integration, interoperability, innovation, market positioning, financial strength and the ecosystem. WALLIX was rated positive (5) and very positive (4) on all of these criteria.
"With our continued ability to innovate, we are proud to be nominated a second time as one of the Product Leaders by KuppingerCole Analysts,” says Jean-Noël De Galzain, CEO of WALLIX. "As a European company, this report demonstrates the importance of having a solution that meets the functional needs of the marketplace, is simple and easy to implement, and can ensure efficient compliance for companies in highly regulated sectors. This is what has always driven us in the development of our solutions and today enables us to be selected and to support our customers in their digital transformation."
