Identity Security at a Crossroads: Balancing Stability, Agility, and Security
Workforce identity security is in flux. Changing infrastructure, expanding application portfolios, and sprawling cloud deployments are exposing unresolved problems, inefficiencies, and fragmented solutions. Enterprises are confronting new identity-driven threats from under-recognized non-human identities (NHI), expanding machine identity attack surfaces, and emerging agentic AI deployments. To better understand these shifts, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 370 IT and cybersecurity decision-makers in North America involved with or responsible for workforce identity and access management (IAM) and identity security processes and technologies.

This study is sought to:
- Understand the scope, scale, and growth of identities that organizations must manage.
- Identify and quantify the major pain points for leaders managing workforce identity security.
- Determine the maturity of non-human/machine identity security and the state of agentic AI deployment.
- Uncover the strategies used to optimally manage identity security in the face of proliferating enterprise applications, compliance obligations, identity threats, and a diverse identity security tool ecosystem.
