KuppingerCole Recognizes Regula as One of the Innovation Leaders in Identity Verification
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regula, a global developer of forensic devices and identity verification (IDV) solutions, has made its inaugural appearance in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Identity Verification 2025. Mentioned in the Innovation Leaders category, the company is recognized for its 100% in-house R&D, forensic-grade technology, global document coverage, and advanced liveness detection capabilities. Regula debuts in KuppingerCole's Leadership Compass, named an Innovation Leader for its powerful in-house verification tech and global ID coverage. Share Specializing in IDV and cybersecurity industry analysis, KuppingerCole forecasts that the global IDV market will grow from $18.4 billion in 2025 to $50.07 billion by 2030, driven by increasing identity fraud, compliance requirements, user expectations, and technological advancements. As identity verification rapidly shifts toward fully remote and automated environments, innovation has become a key differentiator. According to KuppingerCole, innovation leaders in IDV are defined by taking a customer-oriented upgrade approach, delivering customer-requested and forward-thinking features, while ensuring seamless compatibility with existing systems. Positioning Regula in the Innovation Leaders category, KuppingerCole analysts highlight: 'Regula's products are mature and often used to supplement other identity verification vendors' offerings. While not as feature complete as other offerings, Regula is a best-of-breed document and biometric verification solution with strong global coverage. With expertise across diverse industries and a global reach, Regula is positioned as a verification provider with in-house expertise for adaptable and scalable solutions.' In their Leadership Compass, KuppingerCole analysts pay special attention to the fact that IDV vendors have in-house technology development, strong data privacy policies, wide geographical coverage for their ID databases, and automation and machine learning (ML) to facilitate processes and user experience. On these fronts, Regula stands out by: Best-of-breed on-premises document and biometric verification solution. Comprehensive ID template database made of 15,000+ templates from 252 countries and territories. In-house R&D capabilities with significant domain-specific expertise. Advanced liveness detection technology supporting enhanced security. A mature organization with products often used to supplement other IDV vendor offerings. At the heart of Regula's recognition are its flagship software products, which serve clients in finance, government, healthcare, education, aviation, and more. Regula Document Reader SDK provides automated reading and comprehensive verification of all types of identity documents. It reads data in all document zones, verifies security features—including dynamic ones such as holograms—and cross-checks all the data to spot forgery. For biometric checks, Regula Face SDK enables real-time face matching, image quality assessment, and both passive and active liveness detection—the latter tested and certified under iBeta's Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Level 1 and 2. The solution supports 1:1 face matching and 1:n face identification with advanced spoof detection via texture and movement analysis, using both 2D and 3D methods. Importantly, Regula's solutions are designed for privacy-first deployments. All biometric templates are managed locally by the customer, with no data processed or stored by Regula. The face-matching algorithms undergo continuous testing and are benchmarked through programs like the NIST Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT). 'Being named an Innovation Leader by KuppingerCole is a significant milestone for us. It highlights our decades-long commitment to building all our solutions in-house, from document verification to biometrics, and doing so with the precision and trustworthiness that customers demand. As identity verification principles and standards rapidly evolve, our focus remains the same: delivering technology that's not only robust but also deeply practical, scalable, and privacy-conscious,' says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula. Recently, Regula has: Introduced personal data masking across all its solutions. Become the first IDV vendor that enables verification of all dynamic security features in IDs in remote scenarios.

BeyondTrust recognised as leader in secrets management
BeyondTrust has been identified as an Overall Leader in the 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Enterprise Secrets Management. The independent analyst firm KuppingerCole evaluated a total of 16 vendors in the field of secrets management, highlighting BeyondTrust's capabilities, scalability, and focus on securing both human and non-human identities at enterprise scale. The KuppingerCole report points to the increasing complexity organisations face as they adopt cloud services and pursue digital transformation initiatives. It notes the necessity for robust solutions to manage and secure cloud entitlements, emphasising that security in this evolving environment is paramount. BeyondTrust's approach to secrets management extends beyond conventional vaulting solutions. The company's Password Safe solution is designed to deliver policy-based control and visibility over credentials such as application credentials, API keys, certificates, and other machine secrets. The company has built native integrations with a range of popular platforms, including GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible. Such integrations are intended to streamline secret injection and lifecycle management, enabling developer-friendly workflows while maintaining security standards. "BeyondTrust's solutions are particularly suited for enterprises demanding rigorous control over privileged and non-privileged accounts across complex environments. Given its strategic enhancements and comprehensive roadmap, BeyondTrust remains a strong choice for enterprises seeking advanced identity management solutions," Martin Kuppinger, Founder and Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole, commented on BeyondTrust's positioning in the report. The report also acknowledges a shift in the sector as enterprises adopt AI-driven automation and manage more distributed workloads. This has led to a rise in so-called Agentic AI entities—software agents that operate with increasing autonomy, including initiating decisions, running processes, and interacting with data independently. According to the report, BeyondTrust is responding to these trends by developing capabilities that enforce identity lifecycle controls, ensure the principle of least privilege, and monitor for atypical behaviours across all identity types, whether human or non-human. "Secrets management has to evolve with the reality of the modern threat landscape. That means securing not just traditional users and service accounts, but also non-human and autonomous AI identities. Our solutions are built to give security teams centralised visibility and control across every identity and environment, while empowering developers and operations teams to build and scale securely," Sam Elliott, Senior Vice President of Product Management at BeyondTrust, said, outlining the company's approach to current industry challenges. BeyondTrust's secrets management offerings are part of the BeyondTrust Pathfinder Platform. The platform's scope includes Privileged Access Management, Identity Threat Detection and Response, Cloud Identity Management, Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management, and a recently released Identity Security Risk Assessment. This free assessment is designed to help organisations uncover hidden Risks to Privilege within their identity infrastructure, making vulnerabilities visible and offering practical recommendations for remediation. The KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Enterprise Secrets Management evaluates vendors' approaches to managing and protecting secrets, considering factors such as scalability, integrations, developer experience, and strategic vision in the context of current and emerging identity security challenges.
