Privileged Access Management (PAM) remains one of the most critical pillars of cybersecurity. As enterprises expand into hybrid, cloud, and IoT environments, privileged accounts are the most valuable targets for attackers. The 2025 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report found that 66% of social-engineering attacks targeted privileged accounts.
Security leaders face immense pressure to protect access, ensure compliance, and mitigate operational risk. Choosing the right PAM solution is therefore paramount. This year, Segura® was recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PAM, highlighting strengths in account discovery, credential management, and lifecycle governance.
Understanding the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™
The Magic Quadrant™ is a respected framework assessing technology vendors based on two dimensions:
- Ability to Execute: How well a vendor delivers on its commitments and achieves positive customer outcomes.
- Completeness of Vision: How well a vendor understands market direction and innovates to meet future needs.
Vendors are grouped into four quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, or Niche Players. This provides CISOs with a clear, independently-researched view of the market landscape to guide strategic investment decisions.
The Role of the Gartner® Critical Capabilities Report
The Gartner® Critical Capabilities™ for PAM report provides a detailed, technical evaluation of product capabilities, evaluating performance across core PAM functions essential to IT and security leaders:
- Core Functions: Privileged Account Life Cycle, Credential Management, and Session Management.
- Modern Capabilities: Privileged Remote Access, Workload ID and Secrets Management, Just-in-Time (JIT) PAM, and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM).
- Operations: Auditing, Threat Detection, Deployment, Maintenance, and Integration capabilities.
