“Our new use case taxonomy is a real breakthrough,” said Liminal President Jennie Berry. “It gives our members a clear, straightforward way to see how identity solutions evolve and how different segments come together to shape future strategies. This year’s Landscape is all about making it easier for our clients to connect the dots between new technologies and practical applications so that they can make confident, informed decisions.”

In addition to the new use case taxonomy, the 2024 Landscape marks a significant expansion into new areas, particularly within the cybersecurity sector. By breaking down the previously consolidated IT Security segment into more granular categories such as Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Liminal provides deeper insights into the distinct nuances of this mature market.
