What is Digital Identity? Digital Identity encompasses a variety of sectors from verification as a service (VaaS) to identity and access management (IAM), consumer identity and access management (CIAM), cloud software as a service (SaaS) identity, transaction authentication, and the newest entrant – self-sovereign identity. Fields related to Identity include Cyber Security, Fraud, Multi-Factor Authentication, and much more.
