New Ponemon Institute Report Commissioned by GuidePoint Security Reveals IAM Programs Are Underfunded, Underdeveloped and Misaligned with Cybersecurity Threats
HERNDON, Va.: #IAM--A new report released today by GuidePoint Security, in partnership with the Ponemon Institute, found that most organizations are falling short in their Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategy—leaving them vulnerable to identity-based threats.
Although 75% of cyberattacks leveraged identity-based threats last year, GuidePoint Security’s State of Identity and Access Management (IAM) Maturity Report has unveiled that IAM remains under-prioritized compared to other IT security investments, with most organizations still in the early to mid-stages of IAM maturity. Only half of respondents rate their IAM tools as effective, and even fewer (44%) express high confidence in their ability to prevent identity-based incidents.
“These findings should serve as a call to action—identity is a primary attack vector and needs to be prioritized,” said Kevin Converse, Vice President, Identity and Access Management at GuidePoint Security. “Many organizations still rely on manual processes and outdated approaches, limiting their ability to manage risk. Achieving IAM maturity means understanding that IAM is more than just an IT function—it’s a cornerstone of a robust and proactive security strategy.”
The report also highlights significant gaps in IAM technology, expertise and resources—factors that are stalling programmatic maturity and making it more difficult for organizations to secure identities across today’s complex environments.
Key findings from The State of Identity and Access Management (IAM) Maturity Report include:
“IAM touches every application, user and device across the network,” Converse added. “By treating it as a strategic priority—and investing accordingly—organizations can confidently embrace emerging technologies like AI, minimize risk and accelerate business growth.”
The State of Identity and Access Management Maturity Report is based on responses from a comprehensive survey of 625 U.S.-based IT and IT security professionals involved in their organizations’ identity and access management program.
