Segura: Why Great Security Companies Listen to Customers

When CISOs and IT leaders evaluate cybersecurity vendors, they often start with analyst reports. These documents deliver meaningful market context, but they capture only one dimension of the buying journey. The real signal comes from customers who use the platform every day and can describe what actually works in production environments.

What was announced

In a new editorial published on August 12, 2026, Segura author Joseph Carson argues that great security companies listen to their customers more than they talk about themselves. The article positions the voice of the customer as a decisive factor in vendor selection, alongside analyst recognition such as the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for PAM, where Segura was recognized as a Challenger.

The company underlines three practical metrics that customers report and that shape its identity security roadmap:

• Total Cost of Ownership: up to 70% lower TCO compared to competing PAM solutions.
• Time to Value: up to 90% faster TTV, with deployments in roughly 7 minutes.
• Coverage: a PAM platform designed to cover the entire privileged access lifecycle.

Why this matters

For CIOs, CISOs, IT directors and procurement leaders, analyst quadrants provide a comparative baseline, but they do not describe how a solution behaves during real incidents, audits or vendor onboarding. Customer references complement analyst insight with operational truth: how fast the platform is deployed, how well it integrates with existing SIEM, IAM and ITDR stacks, and how it holds up under audit pressure.

Great security companies listen more than they talk, because customers are the ones who see the platform in action every day

Placing customer voice at the center of evaluation reduces the risk of buying based on marketing narrative alone and improves alignment with concrete business outcomes such as compliance, insurance requirements and cyber resilience.

Technical details

• Full PAM lifecycle: discovery, onboarding, password rotation, session monitoring and access revocation.

• Machine identity: protection of service accounts, secrets and non-human identities.
• Audit readiness: centralized logs and reports aligned with common compliance frameworks.
• Deployment: rapid rollout with a target time to value around 7 minutes for initial use cases.
