2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Customer Identity and Access Management

Gartner® has recognized Okta as a Leader in the October 2026 “Magic Quadrant™ for Customer Identity and Access Management.” Gartner® defines customer identity and access management (CIAM) as tools that provide features and functions to enable secure and frictionless access for key constituencies and use cases, including customers, partners and machine identities. These identities include AI and can exist across all constituency groups.

For the last nine years, Okta was recognized as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant™ for Access Management. Gartner® has since transitioned the scope of the Magic Quadrant™ from Access Management to now Customer Identity and Access Management. Okta continues to be recognized as Leader. This is the first time we are recognized as a Leader for the Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) Magic Quadrant™ and are positioned furthest for our Completeness of Vision in this year’s report.
