In this episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, Matthias Reinwarth is joined by Martin Kuppinger and special guest Felix Gaehtgens to explore two of the hottest (and most debated) topics in identity today: Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) and Non-Human / Machine Identities (NHI).

Together, they gothrough the buzzwords to reveal what’s real, what’s hype, and how organizations should approach these fast-evolving areas of IAM. From visibility vs. observability, to governance challenges and the future of machine identity management, this episode delivers sharp insights and practical recommendations from three IAM veterans.

So tell us — are ITDR and NHI just marketing buzzwords, or essential must-haves for modern identity security?

Key topics covered:

• ITDR explained: buzzword or meaningful evolution in IAM?
• Why visibility and observability are not the same
• The missing “R” in detection & response
• IAM vs. SOC responsibilities for ITDR
• Machine identities: terminology, challenges, and governance
• Ephemeral vs. static machine identities
• How IAM teams can prepare for the future of identity security
