Security & Threat Protection

Protecting the customer, the system, and the brand from adversaries. This is distinct from authentication as a feature: encryption and key management, account-takeover and bot defense, threat intelligence, and the certifications that prove it. The blast radius of a CIAM breach is the entire customer base.

What to ask a CIAM vendor

• How are credential stuffing, account takeover, and bot attacks detected and blocked?
• Does the platform support bring-your-own-key and export normalized events to your SIEM?
• Which independent certifications (SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, sector-specific) are current?
