Identity Fabrics bring access management, identity governance, privileged access, and identity threat detection together in a modular architecture connected through APIs. This webinar presents some of the findings of the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass on Identity Fabrics 2026, which evaluates the vendors offering these platforms. John will show the Leader chart, describe the rating methodology, and discuss how the market has changed since the 2025 edition. Some vendors deliver most of these capabilities directly. Others depend on partners and connectors. Buyers need to know which is which before they commit, and this session will help them ask the right questions.
John Tolbert is Principal Analyst and Director of Cybersecurity Research at KuppingerCole. He has covered IAM, Authentication, Authorization, B2B IAM, and CIAM for many years. In this session, John will present the Leader chart, explain how vendors were rated across eight capability categories, and point out which capabilities are mature and which gaps buyers will still need to fill with custom integration.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is for enterprise architects and identity professionals planning IAM modernization or tool consolidation, and for CISOs and IT leaders who need consistent access controls, governance, and privileged access management across hybrid environments. Product and strategy teams at IAM vendors will get an analyst view of market positioning. Procurement professionals involved in IAM platform selection will also find it useful.
