Identity Management Day 2025: Strengthening Security for Human and Non-Human Identities

Identity Management Day, set for April 8, 2025, underscores the critical importance of safeguarding digital identities amidst growing cyber threats, as highlighted by the alarming statistic that 79% of organizations faced identity-related breaches, most of which were preventable. Established in 2021 by the Identity Defined Security Alliance and the National Cybersecurity Alliance, this annual event aims to educate individuals, businesses, and IT leaders about robust identity management strategies, particularly focusing on the evolving concept of "Existential Identity," which addresses the complexities of managing multiple human and non-human identities in the digital realm. The event promotes best practices such as maintaining comprehensive identity inventories, conducting risk assessments, implementing just-in-time access, and continuous monitoring to mitigate identity-based threats. Participants can engage through a virtual conference, explore educational resources, and learn from experts to bolster their identity management frameworks, with opportunities to become an Identity Management Champion showcasing a commitment to secure business operations.
