More complexity, more non-human IDs and shifting strategies -- identity predictions for 2025

Identity is at the root of most cyberattacks, but although we're seeing greater adoption of things like biometrics we still rely heavily on passwords. There's added complication in the form of soaring numbers of machine identities too. Here's what some industry leaders think the identity landscape has in store for 2025.
