More than 50 Partners Join Program in One Year, Forming Largest Identity Ecosystem

San Francisco – December 3, 2018 - At Gartner IAM, the leading Identity and Access Management conference, ForgeRock®, the leading platform provider of digital identity solutions, today announced a milestone in welcoming 54 technology partners to its Trust Network. Many Trust Network partners are demonstrating integrations with the ForgeRock Identity Platform at booth #301 on the conference floor. 

The following is a sampling of enthusiasm from the ForgeRock Trust Network Technology Partners:

“Not only has ForgeRock achieved what many thought was once impossible in the CIAM arena, they've done it at immense scale with a strong partner ecosystem. We've seen strong demand from customers eliminating passwords by deploying HYPR Decentralized Authentication alongside Forgerock - and the Trust Network has been a crucial element in accelerating time to value,” said George Avetisov, CEO HYPR. 

Nakul Munjal, CEO at Status Identity, a specialist in context aware access controls, said “The technical support we have received from ForgeRock for integration efforts has been exemplary. We’re delighted to help enterprises deploy completely passive elevated access controls with our cloud MFA service.” 

Antonio Virzì, CEO of biid, said, “We are very excited by the opportunities we are seeing in the market as a result of the collaboration between ForgeRock and biid. The biid Mobile ID Platform is the perfect add-on to the ForgeRock CIAM ecosystem, delivering best in class customer experience to on-board new digital users and allow them to authenticate online, authorise transactions, sign legal documents, provide informed consent and much more. We look forward to extending the scope of this collaboration in the coming months and we congratulate ForgeRock for the proven success of their Trust Network program.”

“We're excited to join the host of forward-thinking partners in ForgeRock's Trust Network. Together we hope to unlock the full potential of digital identities, making life safer and simpler for people all around the world," said Paco Garcia, Chief Technology Officer at Yoti. 

Antony Bream, Global Head of Enterprise Sales and New Business, AimBrain, said, "Partnering with ForgeRock lets us architect bespoke identity management solutions that extend beyond AimBrain’s proprietary biometric authentication modules. Organizations will benefit from a comprehensive and powerful ‘digital identity plus authentication’ solution, combining visible and invisible checkpoints to validate and maintain a user’s trusted state from onboarding onwards, reducing fraud without risking customer attrition. We’re delighted to be part of the ForgeRock Trust Network, a world-class body of leaders in identity management." 

Josh Rose, Chief Technology Officer at FaceTec, a leader in 3D Face Authentication, said, “Being part of the ForgeRock Trust Network means that our products are introduced to potential customers at the right time in their development cycles.

“Our partnership and integration with ForgeRock enables joint customers to automate and safely scale Identity Threat Protection for compliance with NIST 800-63B and protection against the emerging threat of credential stuffing attacks,” said Steve Tout, Chief Executive Officer of VeriClouds. “The support we received from ForgeRock during development and QA of our integration was world class, evidence that customers should expect superior protection and service from the ForgeRock Trust Network.”

“Behavioral biometrics is changing the way we think about identity and access management, and is playing a major role in managing the online user journey - from onboarding to authentication and ongoing monitoring of an online session," said Howard Edelstein, Chairman and CEO of BioCatch. "BioCatch today services many of the world’s leading and most recognizable financial brands, and our integration into ForgeRock will make it easy for other enterprises to adopt these latest innovations.”

“We are thrilled to be part of ForgeRock’s Trust Network Program,” said Hakan Nordfjell, Senior Vice President Digital Banking for Gemalto, a world leader in Digital Security. “The integration of Gemalto’s solutions for risk management and strong authentication with the ForgeRock Platform for Digital Identity management enables us both to address the Digital Banking market with a consistent and future-proof offer.”

The integration has brought us into their strong ecosystem and allows an easier integration for our customers.

"ForgeRock is the bridge to the enterprise for our customers," said Pieter Ennes, co-founder and CEO of Authentiq, a startup that offers strong authentication without passwords.

Blake Brannon, VP Product at OneTrust, the largest and most widely used dedicated privacy management technology platform, said, “Our alliance with ForgeRock enables us to bring together two best of breed solutions to tackle the unique privacy regulation challenges. Customers can now bring together the ForgeRock Identity Platform with the OneTrust Consent and Preference Management solution for a seamless user experience that achieves regulatory requirements for the GDPR, CCPA and other global privacy laws. We’re proud to be a part of the ForgeRock Trust Membership and look forward to our continued partnership to deliver seamless, user-experience rich and regulatory compliant solutions for our customers.”

They, in turn, can leverage the trusted digital identities we together pin down to improve customer experiences and design entirely new ones to boost satisfaction and increase revenue.
