Identity Management Day aims to inform about the dangers of casually or improperly managing and securing digital identities by raising awareness, sharing best practices, and inspiring individuals and organizations to act.
Everyone has a digital identity, composed of the vast array of personal data that exists about them online and your information is incredibly valuable to malicious users.
Cybersecurity incidents involving compromised credentials continue to be the most common cause of a data breach for enterprises, and often lead to identity theft and account takeover for individuals as well. The need to secure our digital identities remains one of the most urgent tasks facing our digital ecosystem.
While the second Tuesday in April may be the day we recognize the importance of proper identity management, it must become a focus every day.
