Gartner Recognizes Radiant Logic as Leader in Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms

Today’s CISOs agree that there is a growing challenge from identity-driven threats due to complex environments with a growing technical debt combined with cloud adoption and sprawling identity ecosystems. This is confirmed by the various breach reports by third parties such as research from Verizon and IBM who point out identity as a primary attack vector. This is also recognized by Gartner who explicitly warns: 

“Organizations lacking comprehensive visibility into identity data face significant security vulnerabilities and operational inefficiencies.” — Gartner 

In this second blog of our three-part series on Gartner’s 2025 Digital Identity Hype Cycle, we explore the critical category of Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms, where Radiant Logic is recognized for its leadership as a Sample Vendor. This recognition affirms our strategic commitment to helping organizations secure and operationalize identity through real-time observability. 

The Missing Piece in IAM Maturity 

Despite years of investment, many IAM programs remain stuck at the operational layer, focused on provisioning, password management, and compliance reporting. What they are missing is observability. 

“Identity Visibility and Intelligence platforms are essential in navigating complex identity environments, enabling proactive identity risk management and consistent security policy enforcement.” — Gartner 

Why Identity Visibility and Observability 

Radiant Logic addresses identity sprawl at its root by delivering a unified identity data fabric that allows for authoritative, real-time visibility across your entire identity ecosystem. This eliminates blind spots and resolves inconsistencies across fragmented systems. Unlike legacy tools, RadiantOne offers a single, trusted source of truth for both human and non-human identities and their access relationships. 

But visibility alone is not enough. Radiant Logic further provides near real-time event detection through active observability of changes, controls, and processes at the identity data layer. Proactive detection and intervention are foundational to shrinking the attack surface and stopping compromise attempts before they start. 

Security operations teams gain instant visibility, accelerated threat detection, and proactive risk management. 

Cleaning Up the Identity Foundation 

Identity observability is the connective tissue between your existing controls and the proactive, intelligent security posture demanded by today’s threat landscape. It is worth pointing out that Identity Observability is not just another feature; it is what allows organizations to mature their Identity and Access Management architecture. 

Modern IAM controls are only as resilient as the data that feeds them. As Gartner underscores, effective IAM starts with visibility into every account, access relationship, and policy. RadiantOne strengthens identity hygiene at the data layer by detecting orphaned or misaligned accounts, redundant entitlements, incorrectly provisioned users, and unmanaged users and groups. This ensures that SSO, IGA, PAM, Zero Trust, and SIEM tools ingest complete, accurate, and actionable data. 

With the rise of Agentic AI, the stakes are higher than ever. LLMs increasingly consume and act on enterprise identity data, making its integrity and continuous monitoring both a compliance obligation (from frameworks such as DORA) and a security imperative against data poisoning, drift, and misconfigurations. By unifying and securing identity data at the source, RadiantOne reduces technical debt, enforces consistent policy, and strengthens risk-based decisions, all actions that effectively shrink the attack surface while enabling AI-powered security operations. 

The Business Impact of Identity Visibility 

For most enterprises, the identity layer is now the largest and most dynamic attack surface. Every new SaaS subscription, every contractor onboarded, and every micro-service deployed creates new accounts, credentials, and entitlements. Increasingly, this also includes AI agents. Without observability, these changes accumulate, silently introducing risk, eroding compliance, and slowing down transformation programs. 

Identity Visibility and Intelligence platforms like RadiantOne directly impact three critical dimensions: 

• Reduced Risk – Shrink the window of exposure by surfacing dormant accounts, excessive entitlements, and anomalous activity before adversaries exploit them
• Streamlined Compliance – Optimize certifications, audits, and regulatory reporting (e.g., DORA, NIS2, SOX) by automating lineage and reconciliation at the identity data layer
• Increased Agility – Enable faster M&A integration, smoother cloud adoption, and more resilient Zero Trust enforcement by providing a single, unified source of truth for identity

When identity data is unified, observable, and continuously governed, organizations can accelerate digital initiatives without sacrificing security. That is the true value of being recognized in Gartner’s Hype Cycle: it validates that Identity Visibility is not only a technical enabler but also a business imperative. 

The Path Forward 

As Gartner’s 2025 Digital Identity Hype Cycle confirms, Identity Visibility and Intelligence is no longer optional — it is foundational. Observability is not a standalone feature or a bolt-on product: it is the critical layer that sits atop your identity fabric, transforming fragmented data into actionable intelligence. 

By adding observability to the identity fabric, organizations mature their IAM stack from reactive operations to proactive defense, equipping SSO, IGA, PAM, ZTA, and SIEM tools with the clean, real-time insights they need to act decisively.
