Survey Shines Spotlight on Risks Created by Identity Blind Spots

A survey of 312 senior security and IT leaders finds significant blind spots in identity visibility and risk quantification: 64% report a complete, real-time picture of identity risk but only 43% can quickly assess the blast radius of a compromised high-privilege account; 49% rely on manual processes and 41% lack a defensible dollar estimate of identity risk. Respondents cite complexity and fragmented platforms as barriers, 85% are concerned about AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery, and 94% plan to prioritize financially quantifying identity risk within 12 months.
