According to a recent LinkedIn post from Cerby, the company is drawing attention to what it describes as a persistent “identity coverage gap” in enterprise environments. The post argues that many identity programs rely on the assumption that standards like SCIM, modernization of legacy systems, and evolving identity protocols will eventually close this gap.

The post suggests that this expectation may be unrealistic, citing factors such as misaligned application vendor incentives, continued use of on‑premises systems, and fragile custom integrations. These elements are presented as structural reasons why a significant share of enterprise applications could remain outside the reach of traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) tools.
As shared in the post, Cerby is using part two of its “Modernizing Identity Lifecycle Management” series to argue that waiting for standards alone is not a viable strategy for closing the coverage gap. For investors, this emphasis underscores an ongoing, unsolved security and governance problem that may support demand for specialized identity-security solutions aimed at unmanaged or nonstandard applications.
If Cerby’s analysis aligns with customer experience, the company could be positioning itself to serve a segment that existing IAM and IGA platforms do not fully address. This positioning may help differentiate Cerby in the cybersecurity and identity governance market, potentially enhancing its ability to capture enterprise budgets focused on reducing security risk in hard‑to‑manage applications.
