Watch Sphere’s interview at Identity Week America 2025 with Founder, Rita Gurevich.
The traditional pillars of identity security – Privileged Access Management, Identity Governance and Administration, and Identity and Access Management – are showing their limits as identity threats have become increasingly complex.
SPHERE is a leader in Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms that is addressing this gap by introducing what it calls “Identity Hygiene.” The blind spots where unmanaged accounts, misaligned privileges, and inconsistent governance can create serious exposure.
IVIP fills this void by providing continuous visibility and intelligence across all identities, human and non-human, to uncover and resolve risks in real time. SPHERE views IVIP as a critical control layer for these emerging entities, ensuring every identity, whether human or machine, is properly discovered, secured, and governed.
Rather than relying on future-state, cloud-only architectures, SPHERE’s IVIP solution is built to address the hybrid realities most enterprises face today.
During this interview, we asked:
You’ve often said PAM, IGA, and IAM were never designed to tackle today’s identity risks in isolation. What gaps do those categories leave behind that Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) uniquely fills?
SPHERE has pioneered the concept of “Identity Hygiene.” How does SPHERE’s solution for IVIP bring visibility and intelligence to solve issues companies face today in their hybrid environments, versus waiting for a future-state, cloud-only solution?
Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and now Agentic AI systems are exploding across enterprises. Why do you believe IVIP is the critical layer to ensure these identities are discovered, secured, and governed effectively?
When a CIO or CISO asks, “Why do I need another platform on top of PAM and IGA?”—how do you explain the practical value IVIP delivers in weeks or months rather than years-long initiatives?
The industry is starting to recognize IVIP as a distinct category, not just an add-on. What does that recognition mean for SPHERE, and how are you preparing to lead the way as identity risks evolve with AI and automation?
