IDPro’s addition of key corporate members and expansion of its CIDPRO certification and learning opportunities highlights the growing recognition of the digital identity industry

January 5, 2023 8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time BEAVERTON, Ore. – (Business Wire) – IDPro^®, an open, global non-profit association created to define, support and improve the digital identity profession, continues to build momentum as a key organizational community within the identity and access management (IAM) industry, onboarding membership from multiple organizations in 2022 including CVS Health, Easy Dynamics, Radiant Logic, Target, AllState, Mass Mutual, Identity Fusion, Cross River, ADP, CoClo, IDENTOS and Kenoxa GmbH. IDPro furthers the discussion on important digital identity trends by providing professional certification, through the Certified Identity Professional (CIDPRO) exam, and learning opportunities, through the Body of Knowledge (BoK).

News Highlights

• Identity management is a multibillion-dollar global industry with growth expected to double in the next five years, creating a demand for IAM certification and learning opportunities.
