The biggest shift in identity security ever is happening. Are you ready? 

Identity leaders everywhere are facing a new reality. Machine identities now outnumber human users. AI driven attacks are escalating. Complexity is slowing teams down. And despite major advances in tooling, the threat surface continues to expand silently inside every enterprise. 

The 2025 IDSA Trends in Identity Security Report reveals what is really happening inside modern environments… and which identity practices are finally working. 

If you are a CISO, IAM director, security architect, or identity program owner, this is your roadmap for the year ahead.
