Kuppingercole Executive View 2026

The KuppingerCole Executive View provides guidance for IT leaders navigating increasingly complex identity environments.

As IAM landscapes become more fragmented, organizations lack transparency across systems and entitlements. The report explores how Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) address this gap by introducing a unified layer of visibility, analytics, and governance.

A key focus is the NEXIS Platform, which converges IAM and GRC into a single approach. By consolidating identity data and enabling context-aware decisions, NEXIS helps organizations move from fragmented control to integrated, intelligence-driven identity governance.

What you can expect in the Executive View:

• A clear perspective on the convergence of IAM and GRC and the role of NEXIS as a unified governance platform
• A strategic overview of Identity Visibility and Intelligence (IVIP) as the missing layer across fragmented IAM environments
• Insights into AI for IAM, including LLM-driven analysis and the NEXIS AI Co-Pilot NICO for guided decision-making
• How Dynamic Authorization, Shared Signals Framework (SSF), and the Evidence Collector enable adaptive security, real-time integration, and audit-ready governance
• An independent analyst evaluation of the NEXIS Platform capabilities, including identity analytics, role modeling, SoD control, and Identity Security Posture Management
