2019 Ponemon Report:
The Impact of Unsecured Digital Identities

Between tracking devices & certificates, getting ahead of cert expirations, and preventing outages – all with limited resources & funding – it’s not easy to feel confident that you’re doing all you can to reduce the risk of a breach or downtime.

Keyfactor’s 2019 study with the Ponemon Institute, The Impact of Unsecured Digital Identities, delivers what you need. It’s the first report of its kind to provide quantitative data on the risks that unmanaged certificates pose. And it shows the business impact – to your brand, customer retention and productivity – that will earn the attention of senior executives.

Keyfactor’s research empowers organizations like yours with the data you need to make strategic decisions about risk mitigation, budget allocation and operational efficiencies. Use the report to garner support and investment to secure every digital identity across your organization – and justify the need for tools and processes to keep them secure.
