71% of organisations globally suffered at least one identity-related breach in the past year, with Singapore slightly above the global average at 72%; non-human identity management and human error are the primary drivers, and weak NHI management correlates with 22% higher likelihood of financial theft and $150,000 higher recovery costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you build identity management or secrets management tools, your market just proved itself: organisations with weak NHI controls are getting hit 22% harder and paying $150k more to recover than average. AI agents spinning up sub-agents with orphaned credentials is now real, and 89% of firms aren't auditing non-human identities continuously - that gap is your wedge.
