The 2025 Horizons of Identity Security report from SailPoint underscores what Verosint has long believed: identity’s role in the enterprise has expanded beyond traditional gatekeeper to the frontline of security and an engine of business ROI. The report shows that organizations that embrace this evolution are reaping significant returns in terms of efficiency, resilience, and growth versus those with slower adoption.
According to SailPoint, identity security delivers the highest return on investment compared to other security categories. Twice as many organizations rank Identity Security as their top-ROI producing domain compared to other cybersecurity categories such as endpoint, network, or data security. The reason: identity security investments don’t just mitigate risk; they also directly enable more impactful automation, business agility, and digital transformation initiatives across the enterprise than other cybersecurity areas.
SailPoint’s report highlights that more productive, efficient and mature organizations are four times more likely to deploy identity detection and response capabilities like ITDR. The report notes that this shift from prevention to detection is increasingly essential in today’s environment where machine identities, contractors, and even AI agents can quickly multiply risk. Verosint’s ITDR platform is purpose built to address these risks with real-time threat detection, incident forensics, and automated remediation—closing a detection gap left by traditional IAM tools.
Another finding in SailPoint’s research is that organizations adopting AI-driven anomaly detection and security operations see significant cost savings and productivity gains—already providing up to 2.8x higher efficiency with additional gains expected in the future. Verosint’s agentic AI capabilities align perfectly here, by helping security teams flag abnormal logins, sessions, and behaviors; streamline investigations, and automate remediations.
Many organizations still remain complacent with traditional IAM tools and capabilities. The SailPoint report shows that those who elevate identity security to a strategic business enabler are maximizing their returns and enabling a critical security nerve center that drives productivity, agility, and growth. The report further validates that identity security is one the most important security investment you can make, and that Verosint’s ITDR platform is an investment that doesn’t just protect but also fuels resilience and lasting efficiencies.
