Digital identity

Secure the digital identities that power your digital services and control access to your systems.

Digital identities are the foundational components of your digital services, representing critical information about people, data and devices. Securing your digital identities has never been more important in the face of rapidly evolving cyber security threats and the growing dependency on digital systems to provide critical services and handle sensitive data.

What is digital identity security?

Digital identity security enables you to manage human and non human identities and their access within your IT and operational technology (OT) environments. Digital identity security ensures the right identities can access the right resources at the right times, in the right way and for the right reasons - while keeping hackers and other malicious users at bay.

Digital identity services are fundamental to security by providing management and governance capabilities and building on the principle of security by design. Beyond digital trust and security, it provides sustainable business value by improving the efficiency of your digital interactions with customers, employees, contractors, business partners and your supply chain.

What questions should you be asking?

  • Do you know who has access to critical systems and data?
  • How will you demonstrate compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive and Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2)?
  • How mature are your digital identity controls?
  • How well do your digital identity services support your digital services?
  • Do you need to reduce IT operational costs for access fulfilment and governance?
  • How can digital identities be exploited to support your business and digital transformations?
  • Are you delivering a compelling digital customer experience without compromising on security?
