The 2025 Identity Automation Crisis: What 500+ Leaders Exposed

Enterprises have never had more identity tools—SSO, password managers, privileged access controls, and governance platforms. On paper, the identity stack looks mature. But beneath the surface, a critical problem persists: the last mile of identity still runs on manual execution.

The new 2025 Identity Automation Gap Report, based on insights from 500+ IT and security leaders, shows just how wide the gap really is:

• 58% of former employees keep access to systems after leaving
• 41% still share passwords manually (yes, spreadsheets)
• Fewer than 4% of enterprises have fully automated core identity workflows

Join Matt Chiodi, CSO at Cerby, and Aaron Turner, Faculty at IANS, as they unpack what the data reveals and share practical ways to:

• Spot and close your biggest identity blind spots
• Extend automation to disconnected apps (without ripping out your stack)
• Turn manual execution into automated protection that’s secure, scalable, and resilient
