Based on the best selling Amazon book:
"Consumer Identity & Access Management: Design Fundamentals"
This course is based on the best selling consumer identity book by Simon Moffatt.
Published in January 2021, this is the first text on the concept of building digital identity platforms for external consumers, customers and citizens.
Consumer - or customer - identity and access management (CIAM) is a critical component of any modern organisation with digital services at its core.
If you used the Internet yesterday, you would very likely have interacted with a website that had CIAM at its foundation.
Making an online purchase, checking a bank balance, getting a quote for car insurance, logging into a social media site or submitting and paying an income tax return. All of those interactions require high scale, secure identity and access management services.
Poor Login and Registration Experiences Destroy User Happiness
We all remember poorly designed registration and login experiences. Complex passwords on mobile. Trying to login via your TV's remote control. Having to enter page after page of registration details.
Learn how to design seamless user flows for registration and login across a range of devices.
What Capabilities Are Needed from a CIAM Platform?
An external facing identity solution will need to deliver not only seamless and secure user experiences, but will also need to cater for Internet scale, consent management concerns, modern security controls and high availability. How to analyse and select vendors in this space?
What is the CIAM Life Cycle
The consumer life cycle covers a range of different stages, from the initial onboarding and proofing, through to secure MFA, consent management and privacy enabled data sharing.
How can you design such integrations?
How to Measure CIAM Success?
A well designed external identity and access management project will need a set of coverage, performance and effectiveness metrics that allows for the continual management and monitoring of the solution. This provides the foundation for better reporting, increased investment and iterative design.
