Rezonate Named as a Cool Vendor in the 2023 Gartner®  Cool Vendors™ in Identity-First Security

We are proud and humbled to announce that Rezonate has been named a 2023 ‘Cool Vendor’ by Gartner Identity-First Security report. We believe that this is a significant milestone in our journey to build an identity-centric security platform to protect user and machine identities and their access privileges all across their access journey to cloud-native resources and critical SaaS Applications. 

The rise in cloudification and SaaSification of things has consequently increased the volume and complexity of identities, their privileges, and activities, with that, the challenge of preventing and stopping access-based attacks. A new paradigm is necessary in this dynamic and distributed construction of the digital world. A paradigm that puts the defender a step ahead, exerting greater control than the adversaries. A paradigm that doesn’t isolate applications and cloud services but instead views and orchestrates an identity in its entirety across its access journey with accumulated privileges and security controls, automating security posture enhancements, threat detection and response, and compliance requirements. The Magic of faster and more robust identity security adaptation lies back in the interdependencies between these 3 parts of the security missions, which cannot be done separately anymore and should Resonate together with the business cycle. This is our rai·son d’ê·tre, reason of existence – to make the rapid building, securing, and threat elimination Rezonate, which makes defenders much more powerful and successful vs. eliminating adversarial opportunities to compromise identities and breach organizations.


At Rezonate, we believe from day zero that identities are the new core of security in the shared security model of cloud and SaaS. Our platform is built from the ground up to provide real-time visibility to identity’s full access journey across clouds, SaaS, and identity providers. We aim to continuously fortify identity posture, reducing its susceptibility to compromises and defending against cyber attacks in real-time. This approach has enabled our customers to understand better, solve, and protect their assets.

Congrats to all our customers, partners and of course the Rezonators all over the world.

Let’s go! Join the revolution today and use Rezonate to mature your IAM Program and stop the next identity breach. 

Rezonate was named as a Cool Vendor in the 2023 Gartner® Cool Vendors™ in Identity-First Security report. 

“Gartner defines “identity-first security” as an approach to security design that makes identity-based controls the foundational element of an organization’s protection, detection and response architecture. It marks a fundamental shift from the perimeter-based controls that have become obsolete because of the decentralization of assets, users and devices. The focus of identity-first security is on the three C’s — Consistent, Contextual and Continuous — which marks a fundamental shift from perimeter-based, static controls toward dynamic ones.”



Unique to Rezonate is our platform’s ability to continually discover permissions based on identities’ privileges and activities, identify weak spots and risky behaviors, and enable remediation playbooks. Rezonate offers a window to your entire ecosystem, extending to SaaS applications, identity providers, and native cloud.

We believe this Gartner recognition is a significant milestone for us at Rezonate. We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing an all-encompassing identity-first security platform that continually strengthens security posture, empowers robust defense, and enables effective remediation.

Thank you for helping us shape the space and redefine the way identity security should be done in the age of cloud and SaaS, and thank you to our customers, partners, and the awesome rezonators worldwide. This is only day one! Let’s go!
