Recognition to the two Identity Projects of the Year go to The Kraft Heinz Company and Motability Operations. Innovative Use goes to Instacart, and Carmen Elena Nedelcu is the Leader of the Year. All are honored with Identity Management Awards for leadership in identity security and reducing cyber risk.

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA), in partnership with the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA), proudly marked the fifth annual Identity Management Day on April 8, 2025, with a global hybrid conference that drew participation from around the world. The event featured a dynamic lineup of 35 sessions and 46 expert speakers, spanning three international regions—Oceania-Asia, EMEA, and the Americas—and welcomed attendees from 68 countries.

For the fifth year in a row, IDSA announced the Identity Management Award winners at the opening of the Americas sessions. "The Identity Management Awards continue to honor organizations and individuals who champion identity security as an essential part of their operational strategy," said Jeff Reich, Executive Director of the IDSA. "The theme for IMD 2025 is Existential Identity—a reflection of how our digital and physical lives are increasingly intertwined, not just for people but for non-human identities as well. This year's winners exemplify leadership in navigating this complexity, setting a powerful example for the industry. Their commitment to advancing identity management practices inspires us all to treat identity as foundational to security—on Identity Management Day and every day."
