Radiant Logic launches AI tool for identity visibility
Radiant Logic has launched the full suite of its Identity Observability feature for the RadiantOne platform, offering real-time monitoring and risk management capabilities for identity and access management ecosystems. The latest release from Radiant Logic aims to provide organisations with enhanced visibility into their identity management systems and processes, which can help identify, prioritise, and address security risks before they are exploited. The RadiantOne platform now incorporates features such as continuous real-time discovery and observability across identity systems, a unified graph-based model of identity data from sources including Active Directory, LDAP, on-premise applications, Entra Identity, and SaaS platforms, and dynamic risk scoring using heuristics and pattern recognition. The platform also includes an AI Data Assistant (AIDA) that analyses intricate identity relationships, recommends corrective measures, and facilitates collaboration between line managers and resource owners to resolve identity issues. Additional features include dashboards that provide real-time monitoring of identity hygiene, comprehensive reporting, and maturity assessments designed to support policy enforcement and compliance requirements. According to Radiant Logic, the platform is designed to fit into existing enterprise environments as a SaaS or self-managed solution, supporting security initiatives such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Zero Trust models. Dr. John Pritchard, Chief Executive Officer at Radiant Logic, commented on the release, "Identity sprawl, hybrid complexity and unmanaged access create blind spots that leave organisations vulnerable to cyber threats. With the RadiantOne platform, we're illuminating every human and non-human identity across the environment—giving security and IAM teams complete visibility into who has access to what, whether it's legitimate and how to mitigate risks, before attackers find the gaps." The platform's enhancements are aligned with guidance from research and advisory firms' recommendations, such as those from Gartner. In its 2025 Guidance for Comprehensive IAM Architecture Strategy, Gartner recommends that organisations "Invest in a centralised identity and access data platform that integrates discovery tools across all IAM layers to aggregate, correlate and reconcile identity and access data. Implement emerging artificial intelligence (AI)-driven identity and access intelligence solutions to enhance observability and automation to quickly remedy vulnerabilities or facilitate a response to identity threats." Industry stakeholders outside Radiant Logic have also commented on the significance of providing robust visibility across identity data. John Horn, Head of the Cybersecurity Practice at Datos Insights, said, "Security defences at many firms operate with incomplete views of identity data and risk across their organisation. A robust identity fabric, centred upon rich, AI-enabled identity visibility for every aspect of the business, is the new operational foundation." "Radiant Logic's Identity Observability is an exciting capability that enables enterprise-wide views of identity data and risk, combined with automated resolutions to many common security problems. As we enter the age of Agentic AI and greater cyber risk, powerful identity observability and remediation will become central capabilities for the business." Early adopters of RadiantOne's new features have reported benefits in managing identity vulnerabilities and improving oversight. A Head of IAM in the insurance sector stated, "It's truly one of the few solutions that delivers so many valuable features right out of the box. This product's real-time data visibility and intuitive interface make it an outstanding tool for monitoring identity vulnerabilities and quickly understanding the health of our company's access management." A Head of Cybersecurity in the transportation industry shared a similar sentiment, saying, "With real-time data visibility and centralised reporting, this tool makes monitoring identity and access management effortless huge improvement over our previous solutions." The RadiantOne platform's combination of real-time monitoring, unified visualisation, and AI-driven remediation is designed to support organisations in addressing the increasing complexities and threats related to identity and access management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
