Identity Maturity Under Pressure: 2026 Findings and How to Catch Up

Identity is under pressure. Identity programs have matured, yet hundreds of applications remain disconnected from centralized identity systems, operating outside governance and driving measurable security and compliance risk.

New 2026 Ponemon Institute research, based on insights from 600+ IT and security leaders, reveals the scale of this gap and the strain it places on identity initiatives.

At the same time, AI is rapidly expanding the disconnected surface area. As copilots and autonomous agents access the same disconnected applications, they amplify the credential risks organizations already struggle to control.

Join Ponemon Institute expert Mike Fitzpatrick and Cerby CSO Matt Chiodi as they break down the findings and outline what security and IT leaders must do now to catch up.

In this webinar, you will uncover:

• Exclusive 2026 benchmark data from 600+ IT and security leaders
• The true scale and impact of disconnected applications
• Why mature identity programs are still driving audit friction and stalled initiatives
• The risks of manual password and credential management
• How AI agents are expanding identity risk
• Practical steps leading organizations are taking to regain control
  
  

If you lead identity, security, or compliance strategy, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss
