    Identity Fabric Explained: From Legacy IAM to Zero Trust with Cross Identity

    Identity is no longer just about provisioning and single sign-on. Today’s organizations face fragmented IAM architectures, API sprawl, non-human identity growth, AI agents, and increasing Zero Trust demands. In this episode, Matthew Gardiner speaks with Binod Singh, Founder and Chairman of Cross Identity, about what the Identity Fabric really means and why it has become essential for modern enterprises. They discuss how legacy IAM environments evolved into siloed systems, why integration “tax” is becoming unsustainable, and how a federated, API-driven identity fabric architecture enables scalability, orchestration, and Zero Trust. You’ll learn: ✅ What the Identity Fabric architecture actually is (and what it is not) ✅ Why IAM silos and legacy systems create integration and security risks ✅ How federated, API-based architectures improve interoperability ✅ The rise of non-human identities and AI agents — and how to manage them ✅ Why convergence and orchestration are critical for Zero Trust ✅ How organizations can transition from fragmented IAM to a fabric model Whether you are a CISO, IAM architect, or security leader, understanding how to evolve toward an Identity Fabric approach is critical to reducing complexity, enabling Zero Trust, and future-proofing your identity strategy.

    Analyst Chat #289: From 100 to Zero - Fixing Access Recertification the Right Way

    Access recertification is one of the most disliked processes in Identity & Access Management, and for good reason. In this episode, Matthias Reinwarth and Martin Kuppinger challenge the way organizations approach access reviews. Instead of endlessly optimizing broken campaigns, they ask a more fundamental question: What if we eliminated most of recertification altogether? Key topics: ✅ Why traditional access certification campaigns fail ✅ How overengineered role models create complexity and “rubber stamping” ✅ Why 80–90% of entitlements can be automated via policy ✅ How time-limited access dramatically reduces review effort ✅ Where AI and usage analytics can safely remove unused permissions ✅ Why static entitlements and standing privileges are the real root cause ✅ How modern authorization (e.g., externalized policy models) changes the game The discussion also touches on the 50-year legacy of IBM RACF and why we still haven’t fully embraced externalized authorization — despite knowing better since 1976. If you struggle with 70-page access review PDFs, role explosion, or endless recertification campaigns, this episode offers practical, implementable guidance — much of it possible with capabilities you already have in place.

    Analyst Chat #288: From Shadow SaaS to Shadow AI - Closing the Unowned Security Gap

    Shadow IT has evolved. Now it’s Shadow SaaS. Shadow AI. And it’s everywhere. In this week's episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, Matthias welcomes Matthew Gardiner for his first appearance to unpack one of the fastest-growing security domains: SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) and why that name may already be too narrow. Today’s organizations run on hundreds of SaaS applications. Many are sanctioned. Many aren’t. Some are connected via OAuth. Others are quietly leaking data through AI tools. And most security teams don’t have full visibility. In this conversation, we explore: ✅ What SSPM actually means (and why the “PM” might be limiting) ✅ How Shadow IT evolved into Shadow SaaS and Shadow AI ✅ The intersection of identity and cybersecurity in SaaS environments ✅ Misconfiguration risks, MFA bypass, OAuth sprawl & SaaS drift ✅ Why continuous monitoring beats periodic audits ✅ CASB vs SSPM vs CNAPP — where the lines blur ✅ The growing governance challenge in AI-powered SaaS ✅ Why SaaS security can’t be ignored anymore If your organization uses SaaS (spoiler: it does), this discussion is not optional.

    Analyst Chat #287: EUDI Wallet - Can Digital ID Finally Be Trusted?

    Decentralized identity is moving from concept to reality, driven by the upcoming EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet! But can digital identity truly become something we trust? Join us in this Road to EIC episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat where Matthias speaks with Martin Kuppinger about what decentralized identity actually means, how EUDI Wallets work, and why their success depends on real business value. Tune in to learn how verifiable credentials, issuer-holder-verifier models, and privacy-preserving architectures could fundamentally reshape authentication, onboarding, and digital transactions across Europe. You’ll learn: ✅ What decentralized identity and verifiable credentials actually are ✅ How the EUDI Wallet changes control over personal data ✅ Why trust depends on implementation, not just technology ✅ The difference between mandatory use cases and real adoption ✅ How businesses can reduce costs and streamline processes ✅ Why success requires compelling everyday use scenarios ✅ What organizations should do now to prepare Beyond government interactions, the real potential lies in transforming complex business processes, from onboarding and compliance to loans, contracts, and digital transactions using trusted, reusable identity data. The EUDI Wallet isn’t just a new login method, it’s foundational infrastructure for Europe’s digital economy. Watch now to understand what decentralized identity means for enterprises, citizens, and the future of trust online.

    Analyst Chat #286: Modern Authorization Architectures & AuthZEN

    Authorization is changing, moving from static roles and provisioning to dynamic, real-time, policy-based decisions. But without standardization, modern authorization quickly becomes fragmented and unmanageable. In this episode of the Analyst Chat, Matthias Reinwarth is joined by David Brossard, contributor and co-chair of the OpenID AuthZEN Working Group, and Phillip Messerschmidt, Lead Advisor at KuppingerCole, to discuss how authorization is evolving — and why AuthZEN is a critical missing standard. You’ll learn: ✅ Why RBAC is still relevant, but no longer sufficient on its own ✅ How ABAC and PBAC address scalability, context, and dynamic access ✅ Why role explosion and authorization silos limit visibility and governance ✅ How runtime, continuous authorization supports Zero Trust architectures ✅ What AuthZEN standardizes — and what it deliberately does not ✅ How externalized authorization improves auditability and compliance ✅ Why CISOs and architects should start asking vendors for AuthZEN support ✅ How AuthZEN fits into the Identity Fabric and Road to EIC vision Authentication has been standardized for years — authorization is finally catching up. Watch now to understand how AuthZEN enables scalable, future-proof authorization for modern applications, APIs, and identity fabrics.

    Analyst Chat #285: Future-Proofing Authentication in a Post-Quantum World

    Quantum computing isn’t just a future threat to encryption, it’s a direct risk to identity and authentication. In this week's episode, Matthias is joined by Jonathan Care to explore why identity is the quantum bullseye and what organizations must do now to prepare for a post-quantum world. You’ll learn: ✅ Why authentication protocols depend entirely on cryptography ✅ How “harvest now, decrypt later” (HNDL) already puts identity data at risk ✅ Why identity, not data encryption, is the weakest point in a quantum future ✅ What post-quantum cryptography standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) change — and what they don’t ✅ How Passkeys and FIDO2 are quietly becoming post-quantum ready ✅ Why PKI, certificates, federation, and non-human identities face massive scale challenges ✅ What crypto agility really means for IAM and Zero Trust ✅ A practical 4-phase roadmap for CISOs to start preparing today  The biggest risk isn’t a future quantum computer — it’s the long-lived certificates and identity data issued today.
