Omada State of Identity Governance Report Finds IGA Struggles Continue

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Identity governance and administration provider Omada recently announced the release of its annual State of Identity Governance Report for 2025.

The report “examines IT and business leaders’ perspectives on identity-related threats and the solutions they are adopting to address these challenges,” according to the Omada announcement. It reveals that 95% of leaders view identity security as a critical component of their overall cybersecurity strategy, with more than 86% expressing concern about the risks of identity-related threats.

As digital transformation accelerates and non-compliance penalties increase, the urgency for stronger identity security has never been greater. Organizations are seeking improved identity governance to protect against escalating data breaches and the ensuing financial losses.

To provide a deeper understanding of how identity governance is currently being implemented large organizations, Omada conducted a comprehensive survey of more than 500 IT and business leaders, including those responsible for identity governance and access management, compliance, cybersecurity, and general IT administration and management.

Inside the Omada Identity Governance Report

The 2025 Omada State of Identity Governance report reveals:

  • Organizations are spending more on cybersecurity: Nine out of 10 respondents said the teams/resources responsible for IT security in their organizations are better funded than they were a year ago. At the same time, more than six in 10 (64.4%) respondents said they’ve purchased cyber liability insurance to help offset the costs of a data breach.
  • Organizations still struggle with their IGA investments: Nearly four in 10 organizations still haven’t deployed SaaS-based IGA, even though they recognize the need for a modern solution. What’s more, nearly 60% of respondents identified restrictive total cost of ownership (TCO) as a principal deficiency in their current IGA solution.
  • AI and automation are top criteria when choosing IGA solutions: More than half of respondents cited time-consuming manual processes as either the first or second issue driving their organization’s IGA investment. As a result, AI and automation are key attributes that leaders look for when evaluating potential solutions, with Generative AI capabilities emerging as a top criterion.

“Digital identities are proliferating and companies must account for this,” says Omada CEO Michael Garrett in the company announcement. Identity security is the key to cybersecurity, but organizations often struggle with deriving the full benefits of IGA. They are looking for modern, cloud-based solutions that can be rapidly implemented at a lower cost but without the compromise on capability.

“Organizations’ core IGA goals remain constant: securing identity management, maintaining consistent access control over sensitive resources, and ensuring compliance — there is no compromise on this critical capability but it must be fast, agile, simple to operate and low cost of total ownership,” he says.

Welcome to Gary Pearce Home Services' authoritative guide on Future of Dental and Medical Practices CCTV in 2026 - UK trends and technology . 1. The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has updated its strict codes of practice to reflect advances in AI-driven edge surveillance. For dental and medical practices to remain compliant, any newly deployed CCTV system must strictly adhere to the ICO CCTV Code , UK GDPR , and the industry-recognised BS EN 62676 standard for video surveillance systems. To achieve SSAIB Grade 2 or Grade 3 certification, practice owners must ensure that security data i...

The 8K Resolution Era: Why Forensic CCTV is Now the Residential Standard

# The 8K Resolution Era: Why Forensic CCTV is Now the Residential Standard For years, 4K (8-Megapixel) resolution was considered the "ceiling" for residential security. But as we move into 2026, the demand for **Forensic Clarity** has pushed 8K (32-Megapixel) sensors into the mainstream. At **CCTV Systems**, we are seeing a massive shift towards 8K installations for homeowners who require more than just "vague shapes"

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
