The top organizational identity challenges, by the numbers

71%

report non-standard legacy apps incompatible with modern protocols

54%

face immense tech debt as their biggest hurdle to  modernizing IAM

62%

lack a comprehensive resilience/ continuity plan for IDP downtime

Incompatible architecture, vendor lock-in, and poor visibility hurts identity security

Enterprises are facing mission-critical challenges:

  • Multi-IDP environments are making access management across disparate systems feel impossible
  • Decades of IAM tech debt, incompatible architectures, organizational complexity, and resource constraints are slowing modernization and increasing risk
  • Fragmented environments and visibility gaps create serious security and compliance risks
  • Resilient identity infrastructure that can withstand threats and ensure critical system availability is increasingly difficult to achieve
  • Slow recovery times and frequent disruptions due to outages are creating significant financial consequences

Unless tackled, these problems will expose organizations to increased risk and put them further behind. Download the 2024 report today to see what’s happening and prepare for the challenges of 2025 now.
