Nexis Included in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass
Nexis has been included in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass 2026 for Identity Governance and Administration, a strong validation of our focus on modern, data-driven governance and practical execution in complex IAM environments.
The market is clearly evolving. AI-assisted access reviews, Non-Human Identity governance, and flexible deployment models are no longer future topics. They are becoming standard expectations, especially in regulated industries.
At the same time, our project experience shows a consistent pattern: successful governance is not driven by technology alone. It depends on data quality, well-structured processes, and strong alignment between business and IT.
In our latest blog post, we take a closer look at these developments and outline what matters now:
- Why governance initiatives fail in practice
- Three key market shifts every IAM leader should understand
- How AI and analytics deliver real, measurable value
EIC 2026: From AI Hype to Governance Reality
Nexis was part of this year’s European Identity & Cloud Conference, where one topic clearly stood out: how to govern AI agents in real enterprise environments.
In his latest blog article, our CEO Dr. Heiko Klarl shares key takeaways from EIC 2026 and what organizations should focus on now.
The core insight: while Non-Human Identities and AI agents are rapidly growing, governance frameworks are still catching up. Many organizations are already experimenting, but lack clear ownership models, policy structures, and scalable approaches to control access.
The article highlights what leading enterprises are doing differently and outlines concrete steps to build a governance foundation that works for both human and non human identities.
Podcast-Feature: Identity and Access Management in Transition
Dr. Michael Kunz (COO, Nexis) recently joined the KPMG podcast IMPULSE to discuss how Identity and Access Management is evolving and what organizations need to focus on today.
IAM is undergoing a fundamental shift. Increasing regulatory pressure, growing system complexity, and the rise of AI are reshaping how access governance needs to be approached. At the same time, many organizations still lack the transparency required to manage identities and entitlements effectively.
In this episode, Michael speaks with KPMG experts David Mayer and Thomas Libal about why a holistic view of identities and access is essential to reduce risk and ensure compliance.
The discussion highlights key challenges:
- Limited visibility across fragmented IAM landscapes
- Data quality and ownership gaps in business units
- Growing complexity driven by Non Human Identities and AI systems
It also explores how new approaches such as Identity Visibility and intelligent analytics help organizations move toward more transparent and proactive governance models.

NEXIS INVOLVE: Learn From Those Who Do
At NEXIS INVOLVE, the focus is on real-world IAM. And that starts with the people on stage.
We are kicking off our speaker lineup with:
- A Head of IAM Governance from a automotive enterprise, sharing practical insights from a complex automotive IAM landscape.
- Wolfgang Zwerch from Munich Re, showing how a unified IAM strategy and structured application onboarding create audit-ready, scalable governance for the next era of IGA.
Two days of expert exchange, customer perspectives, and practical discussions around Identity Governance, Access Control, and GRC.

From thought leadership on Identity Governance to perspectives on AI, Non-Human Identities, and modern IAM architectures, these contributions reflect how the market is evolving and what organizations need to focus on next.
They also underline a broader shift. IAM is no longer just about managing access. It is about creating transparency, enabling governance, and supporting business critical decisions across complex environments.
