Tuesday, April 13 marks Identity Management Day — a time to bring awareness to business leaders, IT decision-makers, and others about the importance of managing and securing digital identities. It’s a nice concept: businesses coming together to share best practices, vendors supporting the cause, and an overall push for better security hygiene. But is there actually a reason to celebrate?

Securing your network is a journey, not a destination. Not just on one day, but every day. As such, identity management (IM) shouldn’t be celebrated as a singular component of security, but rather a capability that should be ingrained in the data governance fabric of every organization. With the ability to safeguard information, facilitate compliance, and streamline work processes, it’s hard to believe that it’s not already.
