The Identity 25
AI is quickly changing the rules for legitimate businesses, cybercriminals, workers, and consumers. As our digital lives continue to expand and evolve, securing identity has never been more important. Thankfully, a small army of heroically forward-thinking developers, strategists, standards-setters, business leaders, and other prominent figures dedicated to identity are there to guide and protect us.
The Okta Identity 25 was created to celebrate these often unsung stars of the identity space. Each year, we honor pioneers in all aspects of the field, from software creation to standards evolution to academic theory to strategic implementation. We’re happy to present this year’s honorees, whose tireless efforts continue to support us all by keeping digital transactions safe and simple, protecting privacy, empowering underserved populations, and a whole lot more.
