MANILA, Philippines – July 18, 2025 – SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in enterprise identity security, has released its third-annual ‘Horizons of Identity Security’ report, revealing that organizations with advanced identity security programs are gaining disproportionately high returns on their investments – from reduced cyber risk to boosted workforce productivity. 


Mature Identity Security Delivers Accelerated Value

The 2024-2025 report indicates that 83% of organizations experienced fewer identity-related security incidents as a result of their security investments last year. However, only 10% have reached the advanced stages of identity security maturity, while 41% remain at the beginning of their journey. This gap highlights untapped opportunities to enhance security and achieve greater business value.

According to SailPoint, organizations that mature their identity security practices can “bend the identity security-to-value curve,” translating investments into greater reductions in risk, higher topline business value, and improved productivity.

“APJ organizations face challenges like talent shortages in AI/ML and new AI regulations across markets,” said Chern-Yue Boey, Senior Vice President, APJ, SailPoint. “With strategic identity security investments, businesses can unlock enhanced capability coverage, automation, lower cyber insurance premiums, and improved compliance.”

Key Findings From the Report

  • AI-Powered Solutions Adoption
    Mature organizations are 1.7 times more likely to adopt AI-powered identity security solutions, enabling scalable and efficient identity management.

  • Growth of Machine Identities
    Machine identities, including bots, are expected to grow 30% within 3-5 years, outpacing other identity types. Mature organizations cover 87% of these identities, compared to just 28% for early-stage programs.

  • Third-Party Identity Coverage
    Mature programs have up to 50% higher coverage of third-party identities, crucial as businesses rely on external providers, increasing their attack surface.

  • Leveraging Identity Data Intelligence
    Advanced organizations are twice as likely to use identity data for actionable insights, enabling context-aware policies, intelligent access reviews, and faster, more accurate access decisions.

  • GenAI Investments
    Mature identity security programs are investing in GenAI-powered solutions for workflow automation, user entitlements, and natural language search, beyond basic help desk tasks common in early-stage organizations.

  • Impact on Cyber Insurance Premiums
    Notably, 92% of respondents say insurers assess their cyber capabilities before setting premiums. Over 70% view identity security as one of the top three factors influencing insurance costs.

Real-World Impact: RWE’s Transformation

SailPoint highlighted RWE’s rapid identity security transformation as a case study. The company shifted from manual, on-premises identity management to a cloud-based, AI-driven solution within six months, scaling from 2,500 to 30,000 user accounts. Onboarding time dropped dramatically from 25 days to less than 3 hours, and RWE unified its identity strategy across 30 business units, demonstrating productivity gains and enhanced security maturity.

Shaping the Future of Identity Security

SailPoint’s report underscores that the future lies in integrated, AI-powered identity programs that manage all identity types, including machine identities, with unified access controls and actionable intelligence.

For businesses in the Philippines and across APJ, investing in next-generation identity security solutions not only mitigates risks but also enhances operational efficiency and competitiveness in the digital economy.
