ForgeRock announced the launch of a new partner program with benefits intended to drive partner growth.

What happened
- ForgeRock hired Chris Westfall as Vice President of Global Partner Strategy, Programs and Operations to lead the program.

- The new solution, ForgeRock Enterprise Connect, was to be demonstrated at the Gartner IAM Summit in Las Vegas.

ForgeRock 2022 breach report: 297% rise in supply-chain breaches
ForgeRock 2022 Consumer Identity Breach Report ↗
What happened
- ForgeRock announced findings from its 2022 Consumer Identity Breach Report, reporting a 297% surge in breaches tied primarily to supply chain and third-party suppliers.
- The report states unauthorized access was the leading cause of breaches for the fourth consecutive year, accounting for 50% of records compromised during 2021.
- The report finds 60% of records breached in 2021 included Social Security Numbers, dates of birth, or both.
- The report gives an average U.S. breach cost of $9.5 million, up 16% from one year earlier.
- ForgeRock compiled the report from 2021 breach data across the U.S., UK, Germany, Australia and Singapore, using third-party sources including the Identity Theft Resource Center.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Original-style breach statistics with hard numbers are a thought-leadership and market-context asset for a competitor, but the data is compiled from third-party public sources rather than primary research by the vendor.
- Report frames identity and access management as the remedy for breaches; it is competitive positioning, not a product change for Signicat's markets.

ForgeRock released results of a Forrester-commissioned Total Economic Impact study of its CIAM platform.
2022 Total Economic Impact™ Study ↗
What happened
- The study interviewed seven representatives at five organizations and aggregated them into one composite organization.
- The study reports a 186% ROI in less than nine months and a $28.5 million NPV over three years for the composite organization.
- The study quantified benefits across five areas, including legacy transformation, avoided development costs, faster time-to-value, fraud reduction and security-related service costs.
Why it matters to Signicat
- The TEI study is vendor-commissioned and built on a single composite of seven interviews, so its ROI figures are vendor-attributed and not independently verified.
- ROI case studies of this type are a sales tool for CIAM buyers comparing vendors on business value, relevant to Signicat's authentication positioning.

- Just-in-Time Migration allows enterprises to migrate to Identity Cloud without forcing customers to change passwords, and supports gradual migration by department or location.
- ForgeRock describes its Identity Cloud as the only SaaS delivered identity platform purpose-built for the enterprise; this is an unverified vendor claim.
