Strata Identity, a leader in Identity Orchestration, has been recognized as a Sample Vendor in the 2025 Gartner report “Reduce IAM Technical Debt” by Nat Krishnan and Erik Wahlstrom. The report highlights strategies for addressing identity and access management (IAM) challenges in hybrid and multicloud environments, with Strata’s Maverics platform noted for its ability to unify single sign-on (SSO) and modernize legacy systems without extensive application refactoring.
Strata Identity named in Gartner’s 2025 IAM Technical Debt report.
Maverics platform unifies SSO across hybrid and multicloud environments.
Enables IAM modernization without rewriting legacy applications.
Supports modern protocols like SAML, OpenID Connect, and FIDO2.
Reduces technical debt through identity orchestration and policy enforcement.
Helps enterprises manage multiple identity providers seamlessly.
The rise of hybrid and multicloud environments has exacerbated IAM technical debt, driven by legacy systems and siloed architectures. Strata Identity’s Maverics platform tackles these challenges by decoupling identity from applications, enabling organizations to integrate modern protocols like SAML, OpenID Connect, and FIDO2. This approach supports legacy systems such as WAM and LDAP, ensuring compatibility without costly rewrites.
Strata’s solution facilitates unified SSO across disparate identity providers (IDPs), reducing operational complexity. The Maverics platform enables centralized policy enforcement and federated session management, supporting multiple IDPs simultaneously. This ensures IAM resilience and seamless user authentication, even in complex, multicloud setups.
The Gartner report emphasizes categorizing applications, collaborating with stakeholders, and prioritizing modernization based on business impact. Strata operationalizes these recommendations by providing an identity orchestration layer that bridges incompatible systems. “We believe being mentioned as a Sample Vendor in this Gartner report demonstrates the unique value we provide for customers looking to rationalize their identity stack and unify SSO without refactoring hundreds, sometimes thousands of applications,” said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. This approach minimizes disruption while enhancing security and scalability.
By abstracting identity logic, Maverics enables iterative modernization, reducing risks associated with legacy system overhauls. The platform supports failover mechanisms and consistent policy enforcement across hybrid environments, preventing further accumulation of technical debt. This makes it a critical tool for enterprises pursuing cloud transformation without compromising security.
Strata Identity’s recognition in the Gartner report underscores its role in helping organizations modernize IAM infrastructure efficiently. The Maverics platform empowers enterprises to unify identity systems, enhance security, and reduce technical debt, paving the way for scalable and secure cloud adoption.
Strata Identity enables organizations to orchestrate and modernize identity without disrupting existing infrastructure while maintaining a frictionless user experience. By decoupling identity from applications, Strata's Maverics platform unifies SSO, can rationalize redundant IDPs, and ensures continuous access during outages via IDP failover. It enables organizations to extend zero-trust controls across human, machine, and autonomous AI identities. Led by CEO Eric Olden—co-author of the SAML standard—Strata also created the Identity Query Language and open-source Hexa project to help standardize multi-cloud identity management.
