Are IVIPs truly a new platform that organizations must adopt, or are they just old capabilities rebranded with fresh marketing spin? Today, Matthias Reinwarth and Martin Kuppinger dig into the latest acronym shaking up the IAM world: IVIP (Identity Visibility & Intelligence Platforms). We unpack the promises, the risks, and what IVIP really means for the Identity Fabric concept. Expect a critical take on buzzwords, vendor strategies, and what enterprises actually need to strengthen IAM maturity.
Key Topics Covered:
✅ What IVIP actually is and how it fits into IAM
✅ The connection between IVIP and the Identity Fabric approach
✅ Risks of marketing buzzwords in identity management
✅ When a new platform really brings value—and when it doesn’t
✅ What organizations should focus on instead of chasing hype
💡 If you’re working in identity, access governance, ITDR, IGA, or security architecture, this conversation will help you decide whether IVIP deserves a place in your roadmap—or if it’s just hype.
