AKA Identity & VIA (Visibility, Intelligence, Action)

Thanks to Nathan Harris and Ehtisham Zaidi , we now have a model to describe the missing pieces in our collective IAM programs: visibility (aka data management) & intelligence (aka analytics) to complement our existing action (aka authn, authz, pam, iga) vendors.

In their just-published research, they share the results of over 500 client conversations. Why the overall average IAM maturity is 2.4 (out of 5) and how IAM data & analytics is the missing piece to pull it all together.

This is one of those serendipitous combinations for AKA Identity . Between our collective clarity that IAM is a top 3 priority, low morale among incumbent IAM vendors, unlocked optimism due to data science interest (e.g., GenAI), data engineering advances (e.g., Modern Data Pipelines): a wide open market to develop the data and intelligence layer for IAM.

Let's go!
