Radiant Logic, the Identity Data Fabric company, today announces the completed integration of Brainwave GRC following the April 2023 acquisition. These new capabilities solidify Radiant Logic’s entrance in the Identity Analytics market and position our platform in the Identity Governance and Administration market, as seen in the recent Gartner® Market Guide for IGA. With a new website launching today and the release of the full RadiantOne Identity Data Platform, including Identity Analytics, the company celebrates the final integration of Brainwave into Radiant Logic.
Radiant Logic, the longtime leader in Identity Data Management, enters the field of Identity Analytics with unprecedented capabilities including Observability, Governance, and Compliance. With 90% of organizations experiencing at least one identity-related breach in the past year, according to the Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA), organizations are realizing the essential role of identity data quality and visibility within cybersecurity and overall IT operational maturity best practices.
Identity data is the lifeblood for all access decisions, and must be made accessible as the authoritative source for all authentication, authorization, and administration engines. In a recent research note, Gartner recommends that organizations: “Accelerate IAM data improvements for their IAM program by increasing the priority of visibility/observability improvements, including applying the visibility, intelligence, action model to program prioritization decisions."
The new release from Radiant Logic represents a major step forward in the ability to use identity data management and identity analytics in cybersecurity and governance practices. Access to the right identity data, at the right time, is critical for any IAM tool, process, or policy. Visibility into all identity data and infrastructure gives clear insight into who has access to what and uncovers outliers and over-privileged access, which helps identify and close security gaps. It’s a powerful combination for any organization.
We’re thrilled to announce the full integration of Radiant Logic and Brainwave GRC as one company, one website, and one platform. The new RadiantOne Identity Data Platform will strengthen operational maturity for customers, improve regulatory compliance and audit responses, and enable data-driven security best practices, said John Pritchard, Chief Product Officer, Radiant Logic. We are only seeing the tip of the iceberg regarding the potential for leveraging data science and artificial intelligence in IAM, and we believe that by pairing vast amounts of identity data with analytical inferencing, the possibilities for innovation are endless.
With the new capabilities from RadiantOne, identity data can be supplied in a flexible and automated way, allowing organizations to base their security and policy decisions on the most accurate and complete data available. The addition of Identity Analytics brings visibility and intuitive visualization techniques, allowing organizations to use comprehensive identity data to find anomalies, add risk scores, easily respond to audits, and improve their overall security posture.
Complete documentation is now available on the Radiant Logic developer portal, the support function is integrated via the customer support portal, and the full platform will be available as an integrated SaaS offering in Q4. The integrated platform combining Identity Data Management and Identity Analytics capabilities will accelerate Zero Trust projects, enable digital transformation, and simplify audit and compliance.

Ocient | September 25, 2023
Ocient, a renowned hyperscale data analytics platform, has recently announced the release of its second annual industry report, titled "Beyond Big Data: Hyperscale Takes Flight." The 2023 report, which is the result of a survey conducted among 500 data and IT leaders responsible for managing data workloads exceeding 150 terabytes, sheds light on the escalating significance of hyperscale data management within enterprises. It also underscores the critical requisites of time, talent, and cutting-edge technology necessary for the effective harnessing of data at scale.
Building on the foundation of Ocient's inaugural Beyond Big Data survey, the 2023 report delves into the minds of IT decision-makers, seeking to unravel the challenges, investment priorities, and future prospects occupying the forefront of their agendas for 2023 and beyond. The report offers valuable year-over-year comparisons, drawing on trends identified in 2022 while also presenting fresh, timely insights that mirror the immediate concerns of enterprise leaders in the United States.
Among the pivotal insights featured in this year's report are the following:
Immediate Emphasis on Data Quality: Organizations committed to leveraging their hyperscale data for critical business decisions are placing paramount importance on ensuring the highest data quality standards.
Data Workload Growth as a Driving Force: Data and IT leaders are increasingly recognizing data warehousing and analytics as pivotal elements of their IT strategies, a sentiment vividly reflected in their budget allocations.
AI Readiness at the Forefront: Leaders are eager participants in the AI revolution, yet they grapple with concerns surrounding security, accuracy, and trust.
Innovation Hindered by Talent and Technology Gaps: Many leaders continue to struggle with the challenges of optimizing their toolsets and scaling their teams swiftly enough to meet the demands posed by hyperscale data volumes.
Stephen Catanzano, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, commented:
It's clear enterprises are investing in data analytics and warehousing, especially given their costs are being driven up so high with older systems that can't handle the data that's being pushed to them.

Chris Gladwin, Co-Founder and CEO of Ocient, stated that data was not slowing down, and he emphasized that the results of the 2023 Beyond Big Data report confirmed the significance of hyperscale data workloads for enterprises across various industries. He also noted that data volumes were on the rise, as was the importance of comprehending one's data. Nevertheless, the challenges related to data quality, the proliferation of tools, and staffing constraints persisted and were impeding progress in the industry.
Furthermore, Gladwin mentioned that the frontier beyond big data had arrived and that Ocient's annual report illustrated the challenges and opportunities that were shaping the enterprise data strategies of the future.
