Where their work shows up
Identity had practitioners long before it had a profession. IDPro gave the field a body of knowledge, a certification, and a place where the person running access reviews at a hospital and the person writing a federation spec are treated as the same discipline. On the standards side, NIST 800-63 assurance levels are the vocabulary regulators and enterprises use to talk about how strongly an identity is proofed and authenticated. See Amazon Cognito, the authorization guides, and the career path guides.
