The Identity 25

Digital identity is truly coming into its own. The post-pandemic years had security and IT teams scrambling to contain their enterprises’ sudden digital sprawl. Fraudsters rushed in, trying to take advantage of that chaos with faked, stolen, and synthetic identities. And now, organizations all over the world have responded with a redoubled commitment to securing digital identity, with public-private digital partnerships, evolving Identity standards, digital ID cards and wallets, and other innovations. We spent time getting to know each of the 25 honorees, and we hope to help you get to know them a little as well on the following pages. We also created videos with two of this year’s honorees — login.gov’s Hanna Kim and Adobe’s Eric Scouten — so you can see them discuss the rewards they derive from delighting users, the care they take in protecting their information, and how they leverage standards and protocols to ensure that no one is left behind in the digital revolution unfolding around us.

Identity is a calling, and we are very excited to share the stories of these remarkable people who answered the call to help build a future in which Identity can help make people’s lives safer, fuller, and richer. We hope you’ll enjoy it too.
