Gartner^® Separate the Strategic Effectiveness of Identity Fabric From the Hype

The Identity Fabric Dilemma: Distinguishing Architecture from Marketing Hype
As identity technologies converge and vendor consolidation accelerates, identity fabric has quickly become one of the industry's loudest buzzwords. At Cyderes, we frequently see cybersecurity leaders struggle with market confusion, often misinterpreting an identity fabric as simply a bundled suite of IAM tools or a newly coined synonym for any standard IAM infrastructure.

Identity fabric isn’t just about having a multitechnology infrastructure, even if it is from one vendor; it’s a design thinking framework for evolving and improving IAM infrastructure that empowers IAM teams to more effectively deliver required capabilities. By using a ‘system of systems’ approach, it enables identity-first security, reduces technical debt, improves integration and flexibility between IAM tools and services, and supports real-time, event-driven security and business enablement.

Stop managing identity through reactive silos. Equip your team with the design framework needed to eliminate technical debt, enhance interoperability, and achieve identity-first security.
