PRESS RELEASE

Identity Management Day, founded by the Identity Defined Security Alliance, aims to educate and engage business leaders and IT decision-makers on the intersection of identity management and security

LOS ALTOS, Calif., April 13, 2021 – Constella Intelligence, a leading global Digital Risk Protection business, today announced that it is participating in the first ever ‘Identity Management Day,’ an annual awareness event that will take place on the second Tuesday in April each year. The inaugural Identity Management Day is being held today, April 13, 2021.Founded by the Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA), the mission of Identity Management Day is to educate business leaders and IT decision makers on the importance of identity management and key components including governance, identity-centric security best practices, processes, and technology, with a special focus on the dangers of not properly securing identities and access credentials.In addition, the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) will provide guidance for consumers, to ensure that their online identities are protected through security awareness, best practices, and readily available technologies.

Constella helps reduce the risks created from exposed identity information found in open sources on the surface, social, deep and dark webs, by empowering intel analysts, security researchers, criminal investigators and identity protection providers with capabilities to unmask adversaries and prevent fraud, identity theft, account takeover, and cyber espionage. To support this exciting initiative, Constella continues to promote identity management best practices and recommendations for securing employee, customer and third-party identities.

“Raising awareness around identity management is especially critical after a barrage of identity-based breaches made headlines in the past year, including Twitter, Marriott, and Nintendo. In fact, research by the IDSA reveals that 79% of organizations have experienced an identity-related security breach in the last two years, and 99% believe their identity-related breaches were preventable,” said Julie Smith, Executive Director of the IDSA.

Smith continued, “Compounding this, the ongoing pandemic has accelerated digital transformation initiatives that support changes in how we work and how we live day-to-day, putting organizations at greater risk. Our hope is that Identity Management Day will result in higher prioritization of identity security and, as a result, fewer data breaches in 2021 and beyond. We are grateful for all of the support from IDSA and NCSA member companies and the broader industry to further this mission.”
