Strivacity positioned as a Challenger in the Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Customer Identity and Access Management. The AI Identity Company placed as a Challenger position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Customer Identity and Access Management, bringing proven enterprise execution and a different approach to identity. Strivacity, The AI Identity Company, today announced that it has been positioned as a Challenger in the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM). The report marks the Gartner evaluation of the CIAM market, with Strivacity among the 11 vendors included. Strivacity's Challenger positioning AiThority believe marks an important milestone for the company, which has built its business around challenging established approaches to enterprise identity. With a track record of supporting large-scale deployments, Strivacity continues to compete with some of the industry's biggest names through a different approach to architecture, flexibility, and cost predictability. "Gartner has positioned us as a Challenger, and I believe that's fitting because challenging the industry's legacy leaders is exactly what we've been doing," said Keith Graham, Co-founder and CEO of Strivacity. "Enterprises are choosing Strivacity because they're tired of the complexity, cost, and compromises that have defined this industry for too long. We've brought a fundamentally different approach to the market, proven it works at enterprise scale, and we're taking business from companies that have dominated this industry for decades." Challenging the status quo in customer identity Strivacity delivers one identity product for customers, partners, and AI agents, helping enterprises modernize customer identity without the complexity of fragmented solutions or disruptive migrations. Its approach combines three key differentiators: * One product. Code or configure. Customer, partner, and AI agent identity in a single product, with flexible journey orchestration, APIs, and developer tools. * A fundamentally different architecture. Dedicated single-instance SaaS deployments with isolated infrastructure and data residency built in, delivering enterprise-grade control without the complexity of managing it yourself. * Predictable by design. Transparent, usage-based pricing with core CIAM capabilities and premium support included, helping enterprises avoid the cost and complexity of fragmented identity solutions.
