Demand for customer identity and access management (CIAM) has increased due to its importance in converging user experience (UX), security and privacy.

IAM-focused cybersecurity leaders should prioritize CIAM initiatives to focus on customer user experience, high scalability, security and privacy. They must enable a consistent view of all types of external identities across channels and products.

Key findings

• Customer expectations for great UX continue to rise — putting more pressure on organizations that deploy CIAM and, ultimately, more pressure on these vendor offerings.
• Collaboration with partners and customer interactions are more remote and “touchless” experiences than ever before.
• Vendors’ CIAM offerings continue to expand to include features such as consent management and customer identity analytics — along with maturing access management features such as bring-your-own-identity integration and API access controls.
