Identity Visibility Just Became a Gartner®-Tracked Discipline

Your identity environment is changing faster than your roadmap. A 2025 Gartner survey found that 94% of organizations are dealing with increased machine identities, largely driven by AI and AI agent deployments. Six of this year’s entrants are new to the Gartner® Hype Cycle™, we believe most of them driven by AI agents and workload identity.

If you are building the case for identity investment in 2027 planning, we believe this report is the map. Inside you will find:

  • Where Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) sit on the curve, and why Gartner analysts rate the category High benefit
  • The six new entrants: workload access management, intent-based access control, CIAM for AI agents, identity security posture management, AI agent identity, and authorization management platforms
  • Analyst recommendations for each innovation, from what to pilot now to what to track
  • The Priority Matrix showing which innovations promise transformational value and how far each is from mainstream adoption

Radiant Logic is named a Sample Vendor in three categories in this report: IVIP, AI for Access Administration, and SCIM. We believe the through line across all three is the same: identity security starts with complete, accurate identity data.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
