The challenge of countering sophisticated cyber threats while managing limited budgets continues to escalate. With 41% of organizations still in the earliest stages of identity security maturity, strategic investment in identity can bend the value curve through reduced risks and enhanced productivity. Every dollar invested in identity security can unlock measurable value, from improved compliance to lower cyber insurance premiums.

Understanding the Horizons of Identity Security

We surveyed IAM decision makers across the globe and found that companies going through an identity journey generally fall across 5 horizons:

  • At Horizon 1, the lowest maturity, companies lack the strategy and technology to enable digital identities

  • Those at Horizon 2 have adopted some identity technology but still rely heavily on manual processes

  • For organizations at Horizon 3, the identity program has become digitalized, scaled up, and adopted more widely across the company

  • Those at Horizon 4 have automated at scale and use artificial intelligence (AI) to enable digital identities

  • At Horizon 5 is closest to the future of identity – serving as a critical control point in reducing cybersecurity risk and supporting business in next-gen technology innovation
