New Ponemon Institute research on the security, compliance, and operational cost of disconnected apps

Today’s identity programs create a false sense of security. While SSO, MFA, and automated lifecycle management are widely deployed, they typically only protect applications connected to identity systems. A massive and growing portion of the enterprise application environment remains entirely outside that coverage.

Based on an independent survey of 614 IT and security leaders, this report uncovers one of the most persistent blind spots in modern identity. It is essential reading for leaders looking to bridge the gap between perceived maturity and actual control.
