Is IAM Enough in the Age of AI? Why Identity Visibility and Intelligence (IVIP) is becoming Essential

Despite investments in IAM, PAM, and CIEM, many organizations still struggle to answer a fundamental question: Who has access to what data? Drawing on 20 years of experience in enterprise data security, this whitepaper explores how Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIPs) provide the unified context needed to understand identities, access and data across complex environments, particularly in the age of AI.

Identity Risk Intelligence: What Is an IVIP?

Do you know who, or what, can access your most sensitive data, and whether that access is still justified?

Identity-related breaches are rising, AI is introducing new security challenges, and inadequate access controls can expose organisations to significant financial and operational risks. Recent studies highlight the scale of the problem: 75% of organisations in Germany experienced an identity-related security breach in the past three years (RSA), while 92% of organisations reporting breaches involving AI models or applications lacked adequate AI access controls (IBM).

As AI agents, service accounts, and integrations multiply, traditional IAM tools struggle to keep pace with identities that are created rapidly, retain outdated credentials, or operate with excessive permissions.

Our whitepaper explores how Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIPs) help security leaders uncover hidden access risks, strengthen governance and simplify compliance. Discover how CyberDesk turns fragmented identity data into actionable intelligence, helping your organisation reduce security blind spots and maintain control over who, and what, can access critical data.
