Security News > 2022 > April > Why managing and securing digital identities is a must

Identity Management Day was created to spread awareness and educate business leaders, IT decision makers, and the general public about the importance of managing and securing digital identities.

As the general public takes on a more intricate digital life, the way the security industry approaches protecting its assets is shifting.

For one, in the last decade, the challenge has shifted from protecting the perimeter to protecting identities and the resources they access.

A dynamic digital environment with more devices, applications and endpoints means a dissolving perimeter that can be exploited more easily when protected by traditional solutions.

79% of organizations reported a breach in the last two years that can be traced back to a compromised identity.

The goal of Identity Management Day is to raise awareness, share best practices, and inspire individuals and organizations of all sizes to act, so that failure to implement basic identity management best practices doesn't result in the next headline breach.
