Established in 2021 in partnership with the National Cybersecurity Alliance, Identity Management Day, held on the second Tuesday of April, is a day of awareness to educate business leaders, IT decision makers, and the general public about the importance of identity management.
Wade Ellery, Field CTO, Radiant Logic had this to say about this important day:
“Today, Identity is the currency in a digital world. Every digital transaction between customer and a company, between an employee and an application between a bot and a server is grounded in the identity profile and identity data used to authorize those actions. Digital transformation requires the cleanup of a lot of legacy data that did not need to be in digital form. The anchor for this data is the user identity and it is the place to start when starting to transform any business or operation. The shift of outside attacks from the historic parameter to the vulnerable identities has elevated the criticality of securing identity data both for human and non-human accounts. A new focus on defending identity data and access has reshaped the industry. Every organization we work with is somewhere on the journey to strengthening their cybersecurity strategy. Where they are today depends on decades of past decisions, IT debt, Identity Data Quality, and recent investments. Regardless of where each company is starting, there are actions they can take today that will incrementally move them down the Identity-First Security road. These actions will have both immediate benefits and pave the road for future improvements. What most excites me is that as an industry we have stopped telling our customers that identity security or any fundamental security process is a single product or a single project. By acknowledging the overwhelming scope of the challenge we face in bringing security to the enterprise we can finally start to build solutions that will succeed. The transition towards a more secure environment is a journey. This journey will have many parts. It may look different at the detail level for each organization. But at a higher level it is an incremental progression towards a stronger and more integrated and informed security posture. At the core of this journey is the clean up, modernization, standardization, and security of identity and identity access. As the Identity Security market starts to acknowledge the better together concepts of building a complete platform that will continue to involve and improve solutions that can actually finally address the challenge for our customers are possible.”
