Session: Identity: The foundation of Trust for Digital Transformation
Digital transformation has fundamentally changed how businesses interact with customers and consumers. As each new technology expands, the threat landscape and managing these risks continue to get more challenging. Regardless of the north star for digital transformation being reduced operational cost or increased revenue, it is critical to manage the risks. And there comes the Identity which is one of the cornerstones of the digital economy. Organizations that continue to rely on traditional identity verification methods will find themselves playing catch up. Identity crosses the intersection of customer interaction and experience, and our Digital transformation efforts depend on strong authentication mechanisms to ensure secure transactions and being frictionless.Key Takeaways
- Convergence of Identity with digital strategy is a must for business to build trust with their users
- Modernizing and building strong mechanics for authentication and authorization which are equally frictionless will empower customers to focus on their core business
- Providing actionable insights on the security posture help secure the environment as well as driving marketing and sales campaigns
- Deploying right security controls for compliance and privacy and hence establishing a full circle of digital trust across all stakeholders is critical
