CIAM: Balancing security and user experience to get value from customer data

Published on Feb 13, 2023

Business is increasing going online in the digital and post-pandemic era, and as a result, the collection, protection, and management of consumer and customer information has become extremely important.

But keeping sensitive data like personally identifiable information private, safe, and secure, while at the same time ensuring it is accessible to the business and providing a frictionless user experience, can be challenging.

Essential to meeting these important business challenges, is an understanding of the Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM) technologies and processes that have emerged to support businesses as they seek greater efficiencies and capabilities in dealing with customer information.

CIAM indispensable for compliance, marketing, and better user experience

Effective CIAM is essential to enabling organizations to deliver innovative services, engage with consumers, and build brand loyalty, all within the constraints of a growing number of cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection regulations.

CIAM is becoming indispensable for a growing number of industries including media, finance, healthcare, and the public sector, where there is a growing use of CIAM for government-to-citizen identity management scenarios.
