Recognition, and What it Means

KuppingerCole recognized that Twine’s first AI Digital Employee, “Alex differentiates itself from traditional IAM solutions by leveraging AI to automate identity-related tasks that typically require manual intervention. Twine's approach is not to replace IAM tools, but rather to augment cyber teams by equipping them with anAI Digital Employee who helps them build a modern IAM fabric and execute their cyber objectives using existing IAM solutions.” 

This award validates our team's relentless pursuit of excellence and our commitment to developing cutting-edge security solutions. Twine has taken the idea of Agentic AI Solutions and made them a reality, with trustworthy AI DigitalEmployees that can execute tasks regardless of knowledge gaps, and data quality- at the same caliber of an organization’s best (human) employees. 

Why We Start with IAM

TwineSecurity chose to start with Identity and Access Management as the IAM marketis a crucial segment in cybersecurity - a necessity for organizations who seekto protect their environment.  

Nitish Deshpande, Research Analyst and Author of the report by KuppingerCole stated,“Twine Security has achieved strong product/market fit by addressing key pain points in IAM. Enterprises struggle with accelerating IGA processes, maintaining identity hygiene, reducing attack surfaces, and managing daily operations.” Deshpande then referred to our first product, an advanced digital employee, Alex, and many of Alex’s capabilities. Deshpande then continued,“Organizations benefit from a reduced administrative workload, enhanced security postures, and improved compliance, making Twine Security a candidate for enterprises looking to modernize their IAM strategies.”

AI Digital Employees

TheIdentity and Access Management sector is experiencing a strong boom driven byAI security solutions that automate and improve upon existing tools. As organizations have an increasing demand for compliance and centralized access control, AI Digital Employees offer many of the solutions from automating repetitive tasks - freeing up human employees to take on higher complexity tasks, to handling risk analysis and access reviews - all while adhering to industry regulations.

Our first AI digital employee, Alex, learns, understands and takes away the burden of identity and access management tasks - proactively completing your organization’s cyber objectives. As these benefits become more understood in the enterprise space, KuppingerCole expects that adoption will shift in favor of AI-driven solutions for IAM and efficient and modernized access governance. 

KuppingerCole reported that, “Alex simplifies and enhances IAM processes by automating entitlement management, user access provisioning, identity lifecycle management, and least privilege enforcement. Key features include proactive task execution, identity risk analysis, application onboarding into existingIGA solutions, role-based access control (RBAC) design, just-in-time (JIT)access provisioning, and autonomous user access reviews. Alex’s ability to perform tailor-made workflows and enforce least privilege policies ensures comprehensive identity security with minimal administrative effort.” 

Looking Ahead

We are happy to be recognized for our success in advancing security technologies, including delivering the next generation of innovative cybersecurity solutions.As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, we will continue to contribute to the advancement of industry-wide practices and provide exceptional value and products.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to our core mission of building the cyber workforce of the future and to helping organizations navigate the complex world of cybersecurity with confidence.

Ready to Remove the IAM Weight off of Your Security Team's Back?

IntroducingAlex, Twine’s first digital cybersecurity employee, who takes away the burdenof identity management tasks - proactively completing your organization’s cyberobjectives.  Let Alex learn, understandand provide end-to-end execution and automation for your cyber team’s criticalidentity and access management (IAM) tasks:

Theproblem with today’s identity and access management (IAM) tools is that theygenerate a lot more work than initially expected: setup, deployment, as well asongoing upkeep. Legacy systems are excessively complicated, require highlyskilled operators, and do not ensure thorough deprovisioning. This results inresidual traces, orphaned accounts, and over-privileged accounts.

BeforeAlex, no technology has been able to fully replicate human capabilities in theIAM cybersecurity vertical - until now. With Alex, finally cybersecurity teams are equipped with a high-performing digital employee who joins the team and autonomously executes IAM tasks as directed, from A to Z. Onboard Alex to maximize cyber efficiency and get the most out of your existing Identity toolset.
