SAN FRANCISCO: Following the remarkable success of last year’s Identity 25 report, Okta is excited to announce the launch of the 2025 Identity 25 nominations, expanding the opportunity for innovators across the identity landscape to be recognized by their peers and the public alike.

The Identity 25, introduced in 2024, celebrates the achievements of leading individuals across academia, public service, private enterprise, and nonprofit organizations who are pioneering advancements in identity security, privacy, and innovation. This annual list serves as a tribute to those who create groundbreaking solutions that enhance digital identity management, safety, and user empowerment worldwide.
