Shrinking the IAM Attack Surface through Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP)

This article addresses the fragmentation of modern enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) and introduces Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) as a solution to reduce the attack surface.

• •Enterprise IAM systems are reaching a breaking point as organizations scale across thousands of applications and decentralized teams
• •Identity has become fragmented across machine identities, autonomous systems, and multiple decentralized platforms
• •Identity Dark Matter refers to identity activity that operates outside the visibility of centralized IAM systems
• •IVIP platforms provide centralized visibility and intelligence to manage the distributed identity landscape
• •Reducing the IAM attack surface requires comprehensive identity intelligence and visibility across all identity sources
