Enterprises may be more confident about identity security than they should be.

A new report from the FIDO Alliance and HID finds a striking disconnect between how organizations perceive their ability to manage employee access and what actually happens when workers leave. While nearly all surveyed organizations believe they can revoke physical and digital access within 24 hours, more than one-third admit they have failed to do so in practice.

The findings, published in The State of Physical and Digital Identity in the Enterprise, highlight growing concerns around fragmented identity governance, disconnected authentication systems, and slow adoption of phishing-resistant technologies at a time when cyber threats continue to intensify.

Based on a survey of 500 IT and cybersecurity decision-makers across North America and Europe, the report paints a picture of organizations struggling to keep pace with increasingly complex identity environments.
