Reducing the IAM Attack Surface with Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP)

Colleagues, note: a new category — Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform (IVIP) — is emerging in cybersecurity. Gartner positions IVIP as an observability layer over IAM; Orchid Security estimates 46% of identity activity remains invisible to centralized IAM.

Key points:
- IVIPs continuously discover humans and machines across systems.
- They aggregate application telemetry and logs into an evidence-backed “identity data layer.”
- They convert signals into intelligence: detect excess privileges, orphaned accounts, and govern AI agents.

Why it matters: without visibility, the risk of unauthorized access and data leaks increases.

How would you assess your organization’s readiness for identity observability?
