Inside Gartner’s 2025 Hype Cycle for Digital Identity: Why IVIP and AI for Access Matter Now

The 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Digital Identity highlights emerging categories like Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) and AI for Access Administration, which address the persistent challenges in identity governance by offering enhanced visibility and intelligence for managing access across various systems. Veza, recognized as a Sample Vendor in these categories, has been pioneering solutions for these issues long before their formal recognition by leveraging a patented architecture to provide a cohesive view of access permissions and risks. Traditional identity tools like IGA, PAM, and IDPs are deemed insufficient for answering modern security questions such as "Who has access to what?" and "Why is it granted?" The introduction of IVIP and AI for Access Administration aims to fill this gap by correlating access data and automating governance processes, thus enabling organizations to visualize, understand, and confidently manage access controls across their technology stack without overhauling existing systems.
