Cloud Permissions Management Platform Provider Builds on 2020 Product and Go-to-Market with Growing Platform Capabilities, Stronger Partnerships and Continued Award-Winning Product Innovation

CloudKnox Security, the only cloud permissions management platform provider for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, today shared its significant momentum, building on its 2020 product go-to-market as the leader in the newly defined cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) space. Over the last year, CloudKnox has achieved a 400% increase in revenue, resulting from strong demand from enterprises including Fortune 500 companies in the financial, insurance, health care, pharmaceutical, utilities, consumer and technology verticals globally. What’s more, CloudKnox recently released in-depth research underscoring the market greenspace for CIEM, including troubling findings illustrating the dangers associated with the Cloud Permissions Gap.

CloudKnox Takes CIEM To New Heights Since Gartner’s New Category

Since Gartner named the new CIEM category in 2020, CloudKnox research has uncovered that 7 out of 10 CISOs for Fortune 500 enterprises are seeking CIEM solutions to solve critical cloud entitlements management pain points. As the market leader, CloudKnox has responded to this incredible market demand with a series of strategic integrations and partnerships, including strengthening its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as demonstrated by its integration with AWS services like AWS Config, AWS Control Tower.

CloudKnox has continued to scale its open platform by integrating with technology leaders such as HashiCorp, Okta, Ping, ServiceNow, Splunk and others while continuing to expand existing customers rapidly. Such groundswell clearly validates that CloudKnox’s platform delivers the scalability, openness, reliability and automation needed to deliver immediate value to global enterprises. Additionally, CloudKnox extended the CIEM market even further by becoming the first Cloud Permissions Management Platform to offer comprehensive support for serverless functions and Kubernetes Containers.

“The CloudKnox Cloud Permissions Management Platform presents the most complete CIEM offering on the market, and we are proud to have successfully deployed our platform to Global 1,000 enterprises across the financial, insurance, health care, pharmaceutical, utilities, consumer and technology industries,” said Balaji Parimi, CEO and Founder of CloudKnox. “We’re excited to continue defining the CIEM space based on our customers’ needs and our vision for the future of entitlements management.”

In addition to advancing its lead in the market, CloudKnox continued its business growth through 2020, making key go-to-market hires by adding Sharon Thompson, VP of Marketing, to its leadership team.
