EmpowerID

KuppingerCole's 2025 PBAM Leadership Compass just dropped. PBAM = Policy-Based Access Management, or what most engineers know as enterprise-grade, context-aware ABAC.

EmpowerID is the only vendor recognized as a leader in all four categories.

What that looks like in production:
→ Real-time policy evaluation (ABAC + ReBAC)
→ Context-aware decisions: user, device, location, risk
→ One authorization layer across cloud, on-prem, legacy
→ Sub-second performance at 500K+ identities

If you're dealing with role explosion or building Zero Trust architecture, this report is worth reading.
