WESTBOROUGH, MA, May 14, 2015 – Courion®, the market leading provider of intelligent identity governance and administration (IGA) solutions, is excited to announce the acquisition of Bay31 AG (“Bay 31”), an innovative provider of advanced access governance solutions that helps organizations ensure secure access to business processes and reduce the cost of compliance. The combination of the two companies will enable Courion to extend its technology leadership in identity analytics and enhance the company’s product offerings in role mining and role-based access control, particularly for large and complex applications.
Bay31’s solutions, which complement and interface with existing identity management products, leverage proprietary in-memory technology and data-mining algorithms that analyze high volumes of access control data in real-time.
