Listen Later

In this episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, host Matthias Reinwarth welcomes Martin Kuppinger, Founder and Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole, to discuss the evolution of the Identity Fabric. Originally introduced as a visual tool in 2017–2018, the Identity Fabric has matured into a foundational framework for modern identity and access management.

The conversation covers the motivations behind its creation, its flexibility in addressing various identity types, and its role in simplifying complex IAM architectures. Martin also explains the rationale for a leaner version of the model, aimed at executive stakeholders, and offers a glimpse into the forward-looking Identity Fabric for the 2040s.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅Where the Identity Fabric concept began
✅Why a leaner version is needed — and who it’s for
✅How to pitch Identity Fabric to C-level decision makers
✅What the 2040s might look like for IAM
✅How organizations and vendors alike are using this model today

Whether you're deep in IAM or just starting to align your strategy, this episode breaks down how to communicate complex identity concepts more clearly.
