European Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) vendor Ubisecure<\/a> offers their whitepaper \u201cCustomer Identity and Access Management vs. Legacy Identity and Access Management,\u201d which has proven a new and valuable resource on an oft-neglected subsection on identity management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Within its pages, Ubisecure argues that the digital era has forced companies in every industry to have online customer-facing services and products available. Moreover, the whitepaper contends that such B2C interactions has resulted in a flood of external digital identities that traditional legacy identity management aren\u2019t designed to handle adequately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ubisecure\u2019s research outlines the delicate balancing act of identity management between employees\u2019 internal identities and the myriad external identities of customer with their own motivations. While the former can be handled by a legacy IAM solution, CIAM is far better suited to the latter. <\/span><\/p>\n

While the principles of identity management are often similar between the two, according to Ubisecure they are essentially disparate. Internal identities will need an IAM solution that facilitates productivity whereas external identities will need one that offers convenience, as just one example. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, CIAM is designed to engage customers, improve the user experience, and reduce costs rather than focus on legacy IAM\u2019s streamlining life-cycles. Even where the two identity management solutions are similar such as in compliance the differences between them are vast: internal identities must demonstrate compliance to your enterprise\u2019s internal cybersecurity policies whereas external identities are subject to local and governmental regulations such as GDPR. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
