ID IQ Report PreviewTranslated

Identity has always been elemental to every part of an organization—it’s core to onboarding new users, defending against threats, complying with regulations, and executing operations. That hasn’t changed.Translated

What has changed are the forces that act on identity. From AI to cybercriminal activity to new protocols set to disrupt decades of username/password authentication, change is on the way. Our customers seem to be cautiously optimistic about what lies ahead and are committed to the new technologies that will distinguish this new era. They’re hopeful about what’s to come—but they’re not letting their guard down, either.Translated

Why is RSA sharing the RSA ID IQ Report?

Identity security has never been more relevant and top of mind for organizations. RSA ran the first ID IQ Report in 2023 to understand a global baseline of identity security knowledge. The results were staggering. Nearly half of all users got half the questions wrong, with self-described IAM and cybersecurity experts performing the worst. Participants were asked difficult questions about the definition of Zero Trust, the frequency of password reuse, and best practices to defend against identity-related attacks.Translated

The 2025 survey went deeper into the financial impact of how much low identity security knowledge cost organizations. We sought to understand whether organizations were putting their money where their mouth was on AI, and if there was a chance to close the personal device security gap. Given the noise and potential of passwordless, we also wanted to know whether organizations were really making changes to their authentication strategies. The findings underscore the critical importance of getting identity security right.Translated
