A Frost Radar for the Bots

There appears to be a Frost Radar for everything…including non-person entities, or NPEs (a/k/a non-human identities, or NHIs).

And Descope is talking about the NHI Frost Radar.

Los Altos, CA, November 13, 2025 – Descope, the drag & drop external IAM platform, today announced that it has been recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Frost Radar™ for Non-Human Identity (NHI) Solutions, further validating Descope’s fast growth and innovation in the agentic identity space.”

The product that Frost & Sullivan recognized is Decsope’s Agentic Identity Hub

“…an industry-first platform that helps organizations solve authentication and authorization challenges for AI agents, systems, and workflows. Notable additions include providing apps an easy way to become agent-ready while requiring user consent, providing agents a scalable way to connect with 50+ third-party tools and enterprise systems, and helping developers using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) protect their remote MCP servers with purpose-built authorization APIs and SDKs.”

So how does the Frost Radar work?

“The Frost Radar™ is a robust analytical tool that allows us to evaluate companies across two key indices: their focus on continuous innovation and their ability to translate their innovations into consistent growth.”

It uses four classifications.

Frost classificationWhat it meansWhat it REALLY means
Growth and Innovation LeadersHigh innovation (Y axis) and growth (X axis)Good
Innovation LeadersHigh innovationStagnant growth
Growth LeadersHigh growthStagnant innovation
ChallengersLow growth and innovationStagnant everything

So a “Leader” could lead in some things, but not in others.

Even Descope’s announcement includes a Frost Radar picture that indicates that Descope may be a leader, but others (such as Saviynt and Veza) may be more leaderly.

But I guess it’s better to be some sort of “leader,” or even a “challenger,” then to not be recognized at all.
