Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP): The Missing Layer in the IAM Stack

Organizations have been struggling with fragmented identity management due to the proliferation of various Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools, each handling different aspects of identity data without providing comprehensive visibility. Gartner has introduced the concept of Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) to address this gap by offering a centralized intelligence layer that gathers, categorizes, and visualizes identity data across multiple domains, thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional IAM systems. These platforms are crucial in the modern landscape where non-human identities are rapidly increasing, and AI initiatives create new identity webs, requiring real-time visibility to support Zero Trust frameworks and ensure security compliance. Veza exemplifies the IVIP model by unifying identity data, providing actionable insights into permissions and access risks, and enhancing existing IAM tools without replacing them, thereby transforming identity data from a compliance burden into a strategic asset.
