Radiant Logic, the Identity Data Fabric company, today announces the successful acquisition of Brainwave GRC, a leader in identity analytics. Together, the two companies will offer a first-to-market identity data platform, combining data federation and observability with analytics and prescriptive capabilities to create a complete policy information pipeline. This move is in direct response to the growing recognition that Identity-First Security relies on access to consistent, accurate identity data.

Radiant Logic and Brainwave GRC are creating a joint roadmap, with plans to release further details about their shared technology later in 2023. Radiant Logic also recently announced new capabilities including first-to-market identity data observability.

Established in 2010 in France, Brainwave GRC has a strong reputation in helping companies across EMEA ensure compliance and protect their assets from fraud and cyber threats. Brainwave GRC provides essential Access Governance reports that include access risks, accounts, attestations, and out-of-the-box reports for major compliance frameworks—a common requirement in highly regulated markets. 

Brainwave will maintain independent operations for the time being, while both platforms continue to be supported, invested in, and integrated over time. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Radiant Logic, the Identity Data Fabric company, today announces the launch of its radically redesigned Identity Data Platform, offering an identity-first approach to security and business decisions. To drive confident policies, enterprises need real-time access to a tremendous amount of data, synchronized across hybrid and complex environments. It must be accurate, available in real-time, and presented in a meaningful way. The next generation of Radiant solutions offer a re-imagined approach to identity data management, with advanced identity observability and visualization capabilities, all built on an extensible API-layer and available as a SaaS offering. 

These new innovations directly respond to the need for high-quality, real-time identity data to serve the enterprise. In a recent report, Gartner wrote “Increasing demands on IAM infrastructure require higher levels of automation and more sophisticated use of identity data and identity configuration data. With up to 84% of breaches being identity-related, and the average enterprise managing more than 20 identities per user, harnessing and leveraging the power of identity data has never been more critical. 

Throughout 2023, Radiant Logic will deliver unparalleled abilities for organizations to automate their identity data analysis to quickly understand the health and quality of the identity data. Offering first-to-market identity observability, Radiant will be able to discover and alert on identity anomalies caused by outliers, incorrect group entitlements, and role assignments. Through intelligence and automation processes that address identity data quality issues, organizations can flag potential issues that measurably improve their overall security posture and accelerate the move to identity-first security. 

With the new Radiant Logic capabilities, organizations will soon be able to access new insights into their data with the following: 

• Actionable Identity Observability: Adds visibility across all identities and related objects to help organizations easily radically improve data quality to improve security posture and minimize risk. New visual templates and data science tooling makes it easy to spot anomalies and provides insights to make Zero Trust a reality.
• Easy-to-Use Identity Manager: Enables helpdesks to quickly and accurately identify users and provide password reset and other self-service tasks to minimize the overall resource burden for these manual tasks. 
• Enhanced User Experience: Makes identity data easily accessible with low-code/no-code data modeling and API-first extensibility, allowing non-technical users and developers to access only the identity information needed for their task, and reducing the skills required for configuration and ongoing maintenance. 
• Seamless Cloud-Native SaaS Deployment: Provides a fully managed, single-tenant SaaS offering for organizations which minimizes resources required to deploy and manage RadiantOne for faster time-to-value, reduced ongoing maintenance, and greater ease of use. 

Upon the close of the Brainwave GRC acquisition, Radiant plans to leverage identity analytics driven by advanced AI/ML as a core capability. By combining these unique capabilities into a single solution, customers can leverage identity data science to speed time-to-value for IGA deployments and simplify user access decisions.

The Spring 2023 release, available today, debuts RadiantOne in a fully managed, single-tenant SaaS environment. 

Radiant Logic, together with Brainwave GRC, will showcase their solutions at the Gartner IAM Summit in London on March 6-7, 2023, and the Gartner IAM Summit in Grapevine, TX on March 20-22, 2023. Meet us there to ask questions or get a demo. 

Radiant Logic announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Brainwave GRC, a leader in Identity Governance and Analytics (IGA) headquartered in France. Together, Radiant Logic and Brainwave GRC address a broad set of identity use cases, and the acquisition accelerates the companies’ shared vision of an Identity Data Fabric that uses the science of data to ensure the right information is in place to make the right policy decisions.

The acquisition will strengthen both Radiant Logic and Brainwave GRC’s respective market positions as identity, analytics and intelligence experts by offering a new lightweight data-centric governance capability and a market-defining identity data intelligence platform. By combining their unique capabilities into a single platform, customers can speed time-to-value by eliminating burdensome IGA deployments and focusing on what really matters to audit and compliance teams—getting the right data, which can be trusted, in a timely manner.

The identity analytics and intelligence insights resulting from Radiant Logic + Brainwave’s data-driven approach will give unprecedented insight into near real-time user behavior within an enterprise environment, transforming how organizations detect cyberattacks, fraudulent activity, lateral movement from insider threats, and more. Radiant + Brainwave is a winning combination that will provide an unmatched Zero Trust and Identity-First Security foundation for enhanced data security, reduced audit and compliance costs, and improved understanding and visibility of malicious activity.

Established in 2010 in France, Brainwave GRC has a strong reputation in helping companies across EMEA ensure compliance and protect their assets from fraud and cyber threats. Brainwave GRC provides essential Access Governance reports that include access risks, accounts, attestations, and out-of-the-box reports for major compliance frameworks—a common requirement in highly regulated markets. Their light IGA capabilities complements Radiant Logic’s identity data management expertise, and is in-line with its strategic direction to expand its offerings in the IGA market segment.

Brainwave will maintain independent operations for the near-time, while both platforms continue to be supported, invested in, and integrated over time. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Radiant Logic, the enterprise Identity Data Fabric company,  delivers a 4th straight year of profitable growth and an expanding customer base despite economic uncertainty. In 2022, Radiant Logic delivered 20%+ revenue and EBITDA growth on the strength of the RadiantOne platform’s ability to harness identity data to unlock meaningful business value for enterprise organizations. Radiant Logic also maintained its world-class customer retention rate of 95%+ and further invested in the success of its customers with the appointment of its first Chief Customer Officer, Dieter Schuller, a 22-year Radiant Logic veteran. 

According to Gartner, “IAM leaders must start with a strategy for managing identity data. Identity data drives your IAM engine.^[i]” The past year saw a growing recognition of identity data management as an important discipline with cybersecurity and an essential component of the identity fabric architecture. As IAM maturity models demand a composable, unified operating model, the role of accurate and available identity data becomes a prerequisite. 

Radiant Logic’s Intelligent Identity Data Platform continues to act as the cornerstone in many of the world’s most complex identity infrastructures. The company had some notable customer deployments in 2022, including providing the identity data foundation at Defense Information System Agency (DISA), and enabling the Naval Identity Service in the Department of Navy. 

Radiant Logic also recently released the commissioned Total Economic Impact™ study conducted by Forrester Consulting, which demonstrated an ROI of 239% and an 80% increase in efficiency, among other quantified benefits. By deploying RadiantOne to address these challenges, a composite customer achieved a 239% ROI on the initial investment (totaling $20.3M over three years), with technical debt reduced by $9.2M, operational efficiency improved by 80% by year three and risk of a data breach reduced by 25% by year three.

Radiant Logic, the enterprise Identity Data Fabric company, has announced the appointment of the company’s first Chief Customer Officer (CCO) and new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Dieter Schuller, Radiant Logic’s long-time sales leader and customer advocate, will move into his new role as CCO. Mike Price, former Senior Vice President of Americas Sales at ForgeRock, will take over as CRO.  

Dieter Schuller, Chief Customer Officer, has been instrumental in developing Radiant Logic’s customer-centric approach for 20+ years and is a key aspect of the company’s 95% retention rate across the Fortune 500 and the federal government. As CCO, Schuller will be responsible for driving outstanding customer experience and advocating for the customer across all facets of the organization, incorporating their insights into future product innovation.  

As Chief Revenue Officer, Mike Price will focus on scaling Radiant Logic’s operations to meet growth objectives while improving sales performance and delivering customer satisfaction in conjunction with the CCO. Price brings 20 years of experience in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and looks forward to helping organizations understand how an Identity Data Fabric approach can reduce organizations complexity to enable millions of dollars in savings, as according to Forrester Consulting’s Total Economic Impact study of Radiant Logic, released in October.  

Radiant Logic, the enterprise Identity Data Fabric company, today announced that the Department of Navy (DON) has selected the RadiantOne Intelligent Identity Platform to modernize its identity data systems, enabling the cohesive creation and structure of the Naval Identity Services (NIS), the DON’s planned Enterprise ICAM, Credential and Access Management (ICAM) solution. This initiative is designed to make NIS available whether located ashore or in Delayed/Disconnected, Intermittently-Connected and Low-bandwidth (DDIL) environments, providing ubiquitous access aligned with Zero Trust principles.           

By consolidating identity across the DON, RadiantOne enhances the agency’s overall network cybersecurity posture, including all network systems from tactical to enterprise. RadiantOne enables a cloud-based master identity for every individual within the agency, no matter what role they play or where they are stationed, as well as mission partners conducting joint operations with service members. Ultimately, this identity consolidation will enable the DON to rethink identity creation, usage, and management, further automating and modernizing threat monitoring and prevention.

This announcement builds on a successful history of Radiant Logic deployments in the federal sector. Earlier in 2022, Radiant Logic was selected to deliver the identity data foundation for the DISA’s Enterprise Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) design.  Radiant Logic is FIPS 14-2 certified, and was included in 2021 to participate in NIST’s NCCoE Zero Trust Architecture.
