Fresh from Identiverse 2025 in Las Vegas, one thing is clearer than ever: Identity platforms are only as powerful as their integrations.
As leaders like Okta, CyberArk, SailPoint, Beyond Identity, and Thales continue to redefine IAM, IGA, and MFA, a strong pattern is emerging where customers now prioritize seamless integration just as much as core features.
The demand for real-time, secure, and intelligent interoperability with external systems—HR, cloud, DevOps, security tools, and beyond is shaping the future of identity.
Here's a quick walkthrough of the 5 integration trends that dominated the conversation at Identiverse 2025, and how Sacumen is helping identity vendors stay ahead of the curve.
1. Interoperability Is the New Differentiator
Identity platforms can no longer succeed in silos.Buyers today expect plug-and-play compatibility with their existing ecosystem. From SCIM-based provisioning and Just-in-Time access automation to directory sync with HR system, the ability to integrate seamlessly has become a core part of the selection process.
The ability to integrate effortlessly with key systems is now a critical factor in the decision-making process—where prebuilt connectors are now part of the decision matrix.
Prebuilt connectors are now part of the decision matrix, as enterprises don’t want to wait 6-12 months for integrations. They are looking for instant compatibility, supported by APIs.
2. Identity Mesh Architectures Demand Smarter Connectors
With identity data distributed across clouds and apps, traditional connectors fall short.
Identity mesh is emerging as a scalable way to decentralize identity ownership, but it demands connectors that go beyond basic API polling.
What’s needed? Real-time connectors that work via APIs, event triggers, and graph relationships—supporting the identity mesh architecture of tomorrow.
3. IGA Needs Continuous External Data
With AI and machine learning becoming integral to identity governance, platforms must ingest live, contextual data from external systems—ranging from productivity tools to CRM platformssuch as Workday, Salesforce, and Slack.
Connectors are no longer passive data pipelines—they’re fueling dynamic access decisions.
4. API Security is a New Identity Priority
As APIs become the backbone of digital interactions, they are also becoming identity-aware—and that brings new challenges. IAM platforms are now expected to integrate not just with people, but with machine identities and API endpoints.
The result? Identity is merging with API security. IAM platforms must now work seamlessly with API gateways, secrets managers, and observability tools to provide complete visibility and control.
5. Passwordless Authentication Requires Contextual Integration
Vendors such as Beyond Identity and HYPR are pioneering passwordless authentication. But the success depends on contextual integration with device intelligence, SIEMs, HR systems, and more working together.
Without that integration fabric, passwordless can’t scale.
