The recent constraints on physical businesses have pushed organizations to accelerate plans to move operations to the digital world—often shrinking timelines from years to months. Companies across all sectors are increasingly leveraging the Internet to provide necessary products and services to consumers.
Within this context, customer identity and access management (CIAM) products have become critical for digital transformation initiatives. As organizations start on their CIAM journeys, it is important that they understand not just the latest trends but also the potential challenges they may have to overcome.
Even if your organization is at the point of deciding on the ideal CIAM solution or still evaluating whether to embark on a CIAM journey, it is important that you understand what factors you should consider when making your decision.
