Liminal Landscape: Your Blueprint for Market Leadership
contextual insights
Introducing Our New Use Case Taxonomy
We’ve reimagined our Landscape using a proprietary framework that differentiates between technical features and the product capabilities they enable. Capabilities are then grouped by solution segment and by how they address real-world market use cases, each defined by a specific set of requirements. This layered approach simplifies your understanding and ensures that every piece of information is actionable and aligned with real-world scenarios. By structuring the Landscape this way, we help you connect the dots between what’s possible and what’s needed, empowering you to make confident decisions.
broader reach
Expanding into New Solution Areas
We expanded our focus on cybersecurity by breaking down the previously consolidated IT Security segment into more specific and detailed segments. This change reflects our commitment to providing deeper insights into a mature market with distinct nuances. The new segments include Endpoint Security, Network Security, Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), Application Security, Data Security, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Threat Intelligence, Email Security, and Cloud Security.
our proprietary framework
The Golden Cog Methodology
The Golden Cog Methodology is our proprietary framework for identifying and leveraging dominant solutions within emerging, fragmented markets. These Golden Cogs form the backbone of tech stacks, driving significant economic advantages. We empower clients to capitalize on these opportunities by discovering demand-driven use cases, pinpointing key technologies, and identifying emerging market segments, ensuring they stay ahead of the curve as markets evolve.
for all things, data
Leveraging Market Forces: A Focus on Data
One of the most significant forces in the identity landscape is data. We categorize solution segments under two primary types: Inferential / Probabilistic Data, which provides predictive insights by inferring identity from behavioral events and patterns; and Referential / Deterministic Data, which uses unique identifiers and cross-references known data points for precise and reliable identity matching.
