Fusion42 · 20 July 2026 · Fusion42 review

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. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

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.
