IAM Predictions For 2025: Identity As The Linchpin Of Business Resilience
Security Boulevard, Thursday, December 19th, 2024
As we look toward 2025, the lessons of 2024 serve as a stark reminder of the rapidly evolving identity and access management (IAM) landscape.
The numbers tell the story: The latest Identity Theft Resource Center report indicates that consumers experienced a 21-percentage-point rise in identity crime victimization between July 2023 and June 2024. Meanwhile, the Thales 2024 Data Threat Report highlights the challenge of securely managing third-party and contractor access, a figure expected to rise as ecosystems grow evermore interconnected.
In parallel, the rapid adoption of generative AI technologies brought not only unprecedented productivity gains but also complex risks, with only 11% of businesses admitting they have implemented proper safeguards for AI-driven systems. These trends make it clear: in 2025, IAM is no longer a back-office concern-it's the linchpin of digital trust, business resilience, and innovation.
