Courion®, a leading provider of risk-aware identity and access management (IAM) solutions, today announced that organisations from a wide variety of industries, such as government, healthcare, manufacturing and retail, have purchased the company’s IAM solutions, including the Access Assurance Suite™, in the third quarter of 2014.

Organisations joining Courion’s customer roster in the third quarter include Eastman Chemical Company, a global specialty chemical manufacturer; a beauty retailer with more than 350 stores across North America; and a government organisation tasked with initiating, driving and supporting a Middle Eastern country’s urban development strategy. Healthcare organisations serving consumers in the southeastern United States, including Cape Fear Valley Healthcare System, the DCH Health System and Memorial University Medical Center, also became Courion customers.

“Our growth in the last quarter is affirmation that organisations in a wide variety of industries are looking for an identity and access management solution that can help them improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their provisioning and governance operations while also reducing access-related risk,” said Chris Zannetos, CEO of Courion Corporation. “Savvy CISOs are increasingly recognising the value of having advanced access intelligence capabilities integrated with their IAM solution.”

More than 600 organisations worldwide have deployed Courion identity and access management solutions. The company’s solutions for provisioning and governance leverage intelligence gained through the analysis of big identity and access data to enable IT departments to automate routine IAM tasks, identify and eliminate compliance issues as they occur, and predict and prevent the problems that create risk.

Courion was recently recognised by KuppingerCole, a global analyst company focusing on information security, as a leader in its 2014 Leadership Compass for Access Governance. Courion was also recognised earlier this year as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and as a leader in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Identity Provisioning.
