Make security easy for your workforce: Take friction out of authentication
New blog post by Matt Erich, SVP, Solutions Engineering, Imprivata, published Oct 8, 2026, focusing on reducing authentication friction.
Only 9% of Firms Ready for AI Identity Threats
Ping Identity published independent research, conducted by IDC from a global survey of 794 organizations, finding that only 9% meet IDC’s criteria for “verified trust” — defined as continuous, contextual identity verification across human and AI interactions. Organizations meeting verified trust criteria showed material business advantages: 51% higher customer registration conversion, 43% lower fraud losses, 44% stronger compliance readiness, and 47% faster workforce onboarding. The study also highlights a maturity gap: 51% of organizations consider themselves leaders in digital trust, but few have operationalized verification at scale. Ping Identity and IDC argue that continuous verification (using signals such as zero-knowledge biometrics, device posture, behavioral intelligence, and AI-aware risk analysis) is foundational for controlling AI-mediated interactions and reducing risk while unlocking business value.
