Survey Sees Little Progress Made on Automating Identity Management
Security Boulevard, Monday, April 13th, 2026
A survey of 614 cybersecurity and IT leaders finds 89% of the applications deployed are not centrally managed via a multifactor authentication (MFA) platform.
Conducted by the Ponemon Group on behalf of Cerby, a provider of a platform for managing identities, the survey also notes 70% have not configured to provide single sign-on (SSO) capabilities.
Nevertheless, well over half of respondents (57%) on a scale of one to ten rated their confidence in their ability to provide consistent security controls across all applications at 7 or higher.
