The Essential Guide to IVIP

Your IAM stack is built in silos and has critical blind spots. Attackers hunt for security gaps you don’t know you have. Learn how to find them and fix them first.

How to Secure Your Identity Attack Surface with an Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform (IVIP)

Your IAM stack is built in silos and has critical blind spots. Attackers hunt for security gaps you don’t know you have. Learn how to find them and fix them first.

‍

Despite investing millions in identity security, most organizations still can't answer these basic questions:

Who has access to our most critical systems? Do we have over privileged users with weak or compromised credentials?
How many dormant accounts exist across our environment? Do ex-employees still have access to systems?
Do we have identities with weak cryptography or passwords exposed on the dark web?
Are we ready for post-quantum cryptography?

The problem isn't your tools. It's the fragmented visibility that leaves security teams flying blind across disconnected IAM silos.

Introducing the Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform (IVIP)

In July 2025, Gartner formally recognized what forward-thinking security leaders already knew: organizations need a unified intelligence layer that transforms fragmented identity data into actionable security insights. That's IVIP—and it's changing how enterprises manage their fastest-growing attack surface.

What You'll Learn in This Comprehensive Guide

This essential resource walks you through everything identity security leaders need to know about IVIP, including:

  1. Understanding the Crisis: Why credential abuse dominates the 2025 Verizon DBIR, how machine identities now outnumber humans 45:1, why your existing IAM tools can't solve the visibility problem, and how you need to get ready for post quantum cryptography sooner than you think
  2. The IVIP Solution: What makes IVIP different from IGA, PAM, CIEM, and ITDR—and why it enhances rather than replaces your current investments
  3. Practical Implementation: How to discover your complete identity attack surface, correlate identities across silos, and generate quick wins that justify your investment
  4. IVIP Requirements: A practical checklist for evaluating IVIP solutions, including strategies for remediation at scale.
