"Identity security fabric (ISF) is a unified architectural framework that brings together disparate identity capabilities. Through ISF, identity governance and administration (IGA), access management (AM), privileged access management (PAM), and identity threat detection and response (ITDR) are all integrated into a single, cohesive control plane. Building on Gartner's definition of " identity fabric," identity security fabric takes a more proactive approach, securing all identity types (human, machine, and AI agents) across on-prem, hybrid, multi-cloud, and complex IT environments."
"As cyberattacks become more prevalent and sophisticated, traditional approaches characterized by siloed identity tools can't keep pace with evolving threats. Today's rapidly expanding attack surface is driven primarily by non-human identities (NHIs), including service accounts, API keys, and AI agents. Fragmented point solutions weaken an organization's overall security posture, increase operational complexity, and elevate risk due to inconsistent configurations and limited threat visibility. This fragmentation leads to inefficiency as security and IT teams struggle with disjointed workflows."
"Unifies visibility and control: Provides security teams with a centralized control plane for unified insight and consistent policy enforcement across the entire identity surface Secures all identities at scale: Protects human users and NHIs, including machine accounts and emerging AI agents, with consistent governance rigor Enables continuous, risk-aware access: Supports the Zero Trust model by implementing adaptive, real-time access controls based on continuous risk assessment Streamlines access and governance: Automates and simplifies identity lifecycle management to improve security, ensure compliance, and reduce operational complexity"
Identity security fabric (ISF) integrates identity governance and administration, access management, privileged access management, and identity threat detection into a single control plane. It secures human users, non-human identities (NHIs) such as service accounts and API keys, and emerging AI agents across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. ISF provides centralized visibility and consistent policy enforcement to reduce fragmentation and operational complexity. It enables continuous, risk-aware access through adaptive, real-time controls aligned with Zero Trust principles and automates identity lifecycle management to improve security, ensure compliance, and decrease inefficiencies from disjointed tools.
