This global research report introduces a five-horizon maturity model for identity security, based on survey data from 350 decision-makers. It shows that most organizations remain in early maturity stages, missing opportunities to “bend the curve” of cybersecurity value. Higher-horizon organizations achieve disproportionate gains in risk reduction, automation, privileged access governance, and machine identity coverage. The report emphasizes AI-powered analytics, integrated identity data layers, dynamic trust models, and frictionless authentication as defining elements of next-generation identity programs. It demonstrates that mature identity security correlates with improved productivity, compliance outcomes, and reduced cyber insurance premiums.
