Key themes

Customer is key

Customers want quick and easy access to services without compromising on meaningful interactions with brands they trust. Is delivering a cohesive identity experience across all touchpoints the secret to customer retention?

Regulatory compliance

Regulatory compliance, particularly in the realm of data protection, has become a paramount concern for businesses across industries. As regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and emerging legislations such as the Digital Services Act and the Online Safety Bill continues to evolve, organisations face increasing pressure to safeguard sensitive customer data while maintaining trust and loyalty.

Fraud and abuse

Online fraud is continuing to rise, and consumer-facing businesses need solutions to mitigate account takeovers, friendly fraud, card fraud, and more. Collaboration is key to solving this problem, with pressure being put on social media and telco companies to improve fraud prevention measures. 

Protecting data

With a rise in both the frequency and severity of cyber attacks on data, customers are increasingly concerned about how their data is used and stored. Trust is a two-way street, and businesses must prioritise privacy, transparency and consent to ensure their users feel secure.

Strengthening CIAM

Ensuring secure customer data and access to applications, web portals and digital services is integral to improving customer experience, strengthening security and gaining a deeper understanding of customer data to tailor experience. However, challenges in identity provisioning, data security, cybersecurity and compliance remain.

Safeguarding customers

As digital services continue to evolve, ensuring the safety and security of users has become a critical concern for regulated industries. Age verification and identity verification play a crucial role in preventing fraud, protecting vulnerable populations, and complying with regulatory requirements.
