Nexis Recognized by Gartner in Two 2025 Hype Cycles – A German Hidden Champion of Digital Identity and Zero-Trust

Nexis, a trusted provider of governance and cybersecurity solutions, has been recognized by Gartner in two of its latest Hype Cycles: the Hype Cycle for Digital Identity 2025 and the Hype Cycle for Zero-Trust Technology 2025. As one of only two German companies featured, and the only German company listed in its respective categories, Nexis strengthens its position as a European innovation leader in cybersecurity and Identity and Acces Management.

In the Hype Cycle for Digital Identity 2025, Nexis is included in the category Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms, standing out as the only German company represented in this field. In the Hype Cycle for Zero-Trust Technology 2025, Nexis appears in the category AI (Artificial Intelligence) for Access Administration, again as the only German company in this segment. This dual recognition highlights Nexis’ pioneering role in applying explainable AI and advanced analytics to Identity Governance and Access Administration.

The Gartner Hype Cycle is a globally recognized research methodology that outlines the maturity and adoption of emerging technologies. It helps decision-makers evaluate the business value and readiness of innovations across industries. Being named in two such reports confirms Nexis’ growing global relevance and its contribution to shaping the future of digital identity and zero-trust security. Gartner is the world’s leading research and advisory company, providing executives with trusted insights and guidance on key technologies and market trends.

For more than 15 years, Nexis has combined entrepreneurial spirit and technical excellence to deliver scalable solutions for Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) and Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC). With its Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform (IVIP), Nexis empowers organizations to enhance digital sovereignty, reduce complexity, and comply with European regulations such as GDPR, NIS2 and DORA.
