Frequently Asked Questions
RSA is the security-first identity leader. For decades, leaders in financial services, healthcare, energy, and technology have relied on RSA to secure their identities from the most frequent, highest-impact attacks. We leverage that history to develop new innovations that defend organizations from phishing, ransomware, and other attacks.
The 2025 RSA ID IQ Report distills survey responses from more than 2,000 leaders from across 60 countries. Respondents answered questions on the AI’s cybersecurity potential, the frequency and cost of identity-related data breaches, passwordless authentication, operating environments, and more.
You can use the RSA ID IQ report to stay informed about emerging cyberthreats, understand the cybersecurity investing trends your industry is making, protect your organization, and learn about the trends that more than 2,000 cybersecurity and IAM experts are prioritizing in the next year.
Identity security has never been more relevant and top of mind for organizations. RSA ran the first ID IQ Report in 2023 to understand a global baseline of identity security knowledge. The results were staggering. Nearly half of all users got half the questions wrong, with self-described IAM and cybersecurity experts performing the worst. Participants were asked difficult questions about the definition of Zero Trust, the frequency of password reuse, and best practices to defend against identity-related attacks.
The 2025 survey went deeper into the financial impact of how much low identity security knowledge cost organizations. We sought to understand whether organizations were putting their money where their mouth was on AI, and if there was a chance to close the personal device security gap. Given the noise and potential of passwordless, we also wanted to know whether organizations were really making changes to their authentication strategies. The findings underscore the critical importance of getting identity security right.
RSA secures the most secure. We work with 13 of 15 U.S executive departments and 70% of Fortune 100 financial services organizations, leaders in energy, healthcare, and other high- security industries. We provide security-first, NIST-led solutions that meet the highest cybersecurity standards.
The AI-powered RSA Unified Identity Platform protects the world’s most secure organizations from the most frequent, highest-risk cyberattacks. RSA delivers security-first, open, and intelligent identity capabilities to safeguard organizations from risks and prevent threats.
Our solutions include:
- RSA ID Plus, which provides complete access and authentication capabilities for cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments
- RSA Governance & Lifecycle, which provides the identity governance and administration organizations need to secure and manage user access
- RSA SecurID, which provides on-premises access, authentication, and identity management capabilities
