COVID-19 is a global epidemic that demands decisive and robust action.

\n

Following the announcement by the World Health Organization (WHO) to address the coronavirus (COVID-19) threat as a pandemic, organizations across the globe are looking to their Business Continuity Management (BCM) plan to make sure they are covered.

\n

For LoginRadius, as a SaaS-based customer identity platform,  planning ahead to counter any disruption has always been an essential aspect of its resilience program. 

\n

Consequently, we have put our contingency plan to action to fight the current and future risks to our business, and our customers' businesses, due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

\n

Mitigating Risk by LoginRadius

\n

As the developing situation changes with respect to world health outlook, we have outlined three key areas to ensure our readiness towards workplace mitigation. They include:

\n\n

Thereafter, we are prepared to react accordingly to ensure business continuity. Here’s what our plan looks like:

\n

Employee Health and Safety

\n

We are mindful of our employees and are up to date on the officially mandated actions related to hygiene and safety at our workstations. Likewise, we have rolled out the following policies:

\n\n

Service Operations

\n

As an automated, fully cloud-based software solution redundantly hosted on industry-leading infrastructure providers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, the LoginRadius platform is inherently insulated from the business and commercial impacts of the virus. 

\n

This includes impacts from regional staffing and manpower shortages or disruptions in global supply chains.

\n

We have been working for several weeks with impromptu and scheduled drills to help ensure that operations run without disruption in the eventuality of an outbreak or other critical event which may impact our organization.

\n

Business Operations

\n

Similarly, we have rolled out remote working policies for all LoginRadius team members. Employees can work offsite as they would on-premises, guaranteeing no disruption to business operations, including our customer-facing sales, customer success, support, and account management teams.

\n

Conclusion

\n

We place the highest value on the partnerships that we've established with our customers and stakeholders. Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring uninterrupted success, even in times of hardship and challenges.

\n

In the end, we wish our customers health, security, and good fortune.

The City of Surrey offers a great real-world example of what our Identity Platform can do. This bustling city in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia welcomes approximately 1,500 new residents per month – all in need of municipal services. The City was not able to expand its physical offices or add staff, so the solution was to move all services online.

\n

We’ve created a case study to show you how the LoginRadius Identity Platform helped the City of Surrey transform its online services and unlock its future as a smart city.

As the risk of data abuse is on the rise, more and more companies are seeking to adhere to the existing data privacy and regulatory compliances. 

\n

From the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to the recently released California's Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), each regulation has a unique strategic imperative. 

\n\n

Businesses cannot afford to ignore these new policies. From a financial point of view, the  European supervisory authorities imposed as many as 133 administrative penalties by the end of 2019, which sums up to a massive fine of approximately €400 million (£337 million).

\n

Businesses need to understand that customers are the sole drivers of the economy, and a trusted relationship with them will lead to loyalty and boosted revenue generation.

\n

On a similar note, enterprises are often curious if LoginRadius, as a customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform, meets regulatory requirements of the popular data protection laws.

\n

Well yes, it does.

\n

Not just the infamous GDPR, LoginRadius also helps enterprises adhere to the recently active California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

\n

But before we go any further, let’s understand a few things about the CIAM platform and the CCPA compliance.

\n

What does it take to make the perfect CIAM platform?

\n

Well, the driving force of CIAM lies in its ability to use data security as a tool for offering seamless customer experiences. 

\n

Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) is a relatively new customer-focused business solution that collects, manages, and provides a secure and seamless access to customer's personal data.

\n

An ideal customer identity management platform should include all the crucial components that drives an enterprise – from customers, suppliers, contractors, partners, employees to systems, applications, and devices.

\n

What is the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)?

\n

The California Consumer Privacy Act is a relatively new consumer privacy right enacted by the State of California. It comprises groundbreaking laws relating to contemporary business practices and the role of citizens in securing their personal data in the Golden State.

\n

Like the GDPR, these new regulations apply not only to California businesses but to all the companies that do business in the state.

\n

What does the CCPA offer?

\n\n

What rights do consumers enjoy under CCPA?

\n

\n \n

  • Unique identifiers like IP addresses, account id, cookies, pixel tags, beacons, and telephone numbers. 
    • \n
  • Internet activity identifiers like search history, advertisement, browsing history, etc.
    • \n
  • Geolocation identifiers like location history.
    • \n
  • Sensitive data like financial and medical history, religious or political views, sexual preferences, education data, etc.
    • \n
  • Biometric identifiers like voice recordings, fingerprints, facial recognition, etc. 
    • \n
  • Commercial data like property records, products or services purchased, purchasing histories, etc.
    • \n\n

    Is CCPA a big deal?

    \n

    Yes, CCPA is a big deal for companies that collect data from the residents of California – irrespective of where their business is located. 

    \n

    Non-compliance may lead to hefty fines and rigid enforcements.

    \n

    What are the CCPA penalties?

    \n

    The maximum penalty for unintentional violations is $2,500 USD, while for intentional violations, it may go as high as $7,500 USD. Consumers may also take legal action against companies and can sue them individually for each breach.

    \n

    Does CCPA apply to your business?

    \n

    If your business or organization answers positively to any one of the following criteria, you are required to comply with the CCPA.

    \n\n

    Remember: Non-profit or small companies that do not meet the income threshold do not require to comply.

    \n

    Can CCPA optimize user experience?

    \n

    Today, consumers have a lot of control over how companies shape their brand image and retain their businesses. 

    \n

    When it comes to CCPA, the Californian data privacy law provides some excellent opportunities to gain an advantage over customer experience. 

    \n

    Wondering how? Let’s find out.

    \n

    \n \n \n

    \n

    3. CCPA allows frictionless identity management.

    \n

    When it comes to enterprise-class identity management, factors like compliance and security play a critical role. 

    \n

    In the data-driven world, a CCPA-regulated customer identity and data management solution can seek consent and record permissions before processing any data.

    \n

    How LoginRadius’ Identity Solution assists enterprises with CCPA compliance

    \n

    LoginRadius is a customer identity and access management solution that provides a 360-degree view of customers for a seamless collection, storage, management, and protection of personal data.

    Introduction

    \n

    Social login, also termed as social sign-in or social sign-on, allows your consumers to login and register with a single click on a website or mobile application using their existing accounts from various social providers. It simplifies the sign-in and registration experiences, providing a convenient alternative method to create an account where it is mandatory.

    \n\n

    How Does Social Login Work?

    \n

    You may be thinking about how does social login work? Well, social login is a quick and convenient way for users to log into websites using their existing social media accounts. Instead of creating a new account on the website, users can simply click a button to sign in with their Facebook, Google, or other social media account.

    \n

    When a user clicks on the social login button, the website will redirect the user to the chosen social media platform's login page. After the user logs in, the social media platform sends back the user's data to the website. This data can include the user's name, email address, profile picture, and any other information the user has authorized the website to access. Let’s understand more about login with social media and its aspects.

    \n\n

    Some of the most popular social login platforms include Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Microsoft. Each platform has its own strengths and weaknesses.

    \n

    Facebook is the most popular social login platform, with over 2 billion active users worldwide. It provides a wide range of user data, including the user's name, email address, profile picture, and interests.

    \n

    Google is also a popular social login platform, with over 1 billion active users. It provides similar data to Facebook, but also allows users to log in with their Google+ account.

    \n

    For detailed information about the login preferences, you can download our Consumer Digital Identity Trend Report 2022.

    \n

    Twitter is popular among younger users, but it provides less user data than Facebook or Google. LinkedIn is popular among professionals, and it provides more detailed professional information about the user.

    \n

    \n
      \n
    1. Visitors can save time by not requiring them to create yet another profile.

    \n\n

    What are the Benefits of Social Login?

    \n

    There are several benefits to using social login on your website. First, it provides a convenient and quick way for users to log in without having to create a new account. This can increase conversion rates and reduce the number of abandoned carts or forms.

    \n

    Second, social login can help you gather more data about your users. This data can be used to personalize the user experience, send targeted marketing messages, and improve customer retention.

    \n

    Third, when we talk about social security login, social login can increase the security of your website by reducing the number of passwords users have to remember. Users are more likely to choose weak or easy-to-guess passwords if they have to remember multiple passwords for different websites.

    \n

    Implementing social login on your website is relatively easy, especially if you use a third-party service like LoginRadius. LoginRadius provides a range of social login options, including Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more.

    \n

    Whether or not social login is worth implementing depends on your website and your users. If your website is focused on e-commerce or requires users to log in frequently, social login can be a great way to increase conversion rates and improve user experience.

    \n

    Conclusion

    \n

    In this article, we talked about applying a Social Login on consumers websites and how it will enhance businesses. This feature allows consumers to login via social providers and removes the hassle to remember new passwords for different websites.

    Identity as a Service (IDaaS) can be a game-changer for your business—but only if you know how to play it right. 

    \n

    Speaking of which, the term identity refers to characteristics that make an entity recognizable. Likewise, digital identity refers to attributes that identify people, organizations, or other entities online.

    \n

    With more and more businesses migrating to the cloud, the demand for seamless authentication of digital identities has reached a critical point.

    \n

    Experts predict a massive change in the way enterprises handle customer identity and access management (CIAM) within the next decade. 

    \n

    By 2022, Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solutions is expected to grow the identity and access management space to a $13.42 billion property. Hence, now is the best time to invest in a secure, highly accessible, simplified, low-risk solution like IDaaS.

    \n

    What is Identity as a Service (IDAAS)? 

    \n

    Identity as a service (IDaaS) refers to identity and access management services that are offered through the cloud or via SaaS (software-as-a-service) systems. It offers cloud-based authentication delivered and operated by third-party providers on a subscription basis.

    \n

    In short, IDaaS helps manage digital identities so that the right users can access the resources that are meant for them.

    \n

    IDaaS is a win-win for both businesses and their customers. With modern IDaaS access features, there’s no need for end-users to remember multiple account credentials. Likewise, system administrators can reduce the number of user accounts they have to manage. 

    \n

    3 Benefits of Identity as a Service (IDAAS) for Developers

    \n

    As an application developer, you must see features like registration, authentication, and account recovery as opportunities to better customer experiences. But, that’s not it. The following are three important benefits of IDaaS for developers.

    \n

    Decentralization of identity

    \n

    IDaaS allows application developers to decentralize the user identity from the application. This leads to the following advantages for developers.

    \n\n

    By letting an external service handle identity and authentication, developers can focus on bringing more value to the business. 

    \n

    IDaaS is API-based 

    \n

    One of the core competencies of IDaaS is that they are API-first. Interestingly, most of these third parties provide on-demand expertise that would otherwise become more time-consuming and resource-heavy, if developed in-house.

    \n

    By leveraging APIs, developers can add them to their existing technology and save a significant amount of time.

    \n

    Bridge the gap between developer and security teams

    \n

    With developers constantly bugged to build revenue-generating apps in shorter deadlines, IDaaS allows them to get the job done quickly, and simultaneously create high quality and secure output. 

    \n

    Furthermore, IDaaS has the potential to deliver a secure, streamlined on-demand identity expertise. Such strategies can also do a great deal to reduce internal tension and eventually bridge the gap between developers and the security workforce.

    \n

    \n \n

    Freedom to choose

    \n

    IDaaS allows businesses the freedom to choose the right IT resources that fit them and their customers. When they have the best tool to get their job done, that leads to better agility and increased speed. The outcome? A competitive position in the market.

    \n

    Increase in productivity

    \n

    IDaaS offers the liberty to businesses to manage their IT environment from a single platform. There's less scope for human error too. With a comprehensive identity solution, they can let their customers access multiple web properties with a single set of credentials. This leads to increased productivity and better security. 

    \n

    Stronger security

    \n

    A modern IDaaS solution secures identities and protects your IT environment. With features like MFA, SSO, and password complexity, businesses can control access and increase security. Needless-to-say, with identities being the epicenter of every cyberattack, identity security features such as these are instrumental in safeguarding your digital properties. 

    \n

    7 Core Components of IDaaS in an Enterprise Environment 

    \n

    \n \n \n

    \n

    Some new regulations that are protecting identities include:

    \n

    1. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

    \n

    GDPR is the core of Europe's digital privacy legislation. It requires businesses to safeguard the personally identifiable information (PII) of the European Union citizens for transactions that occur within the member states. Failure to comply may cost dearly. Individual rights include: 

    \n\n

    2. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

    \n

    The CCPA is a state-level law that mandates that businesses inform customers of their plan to monetize their data, and provide them with a clear means of opting out, whenever required. Any violation can lead to hefty fines. A few other requirements include:

    These days, businesses have an understanding of security hygiene and the risks of using insecure passwords.

    \n

    Yet, the password management struggle is real and it is hitting businesses hard.

    \n

    Given the fact that stolen or reused passwords are responsible for 80% of hacking-related breaches, it’s high time for businesses to fix their overall security posture and step up their cybersecurity game.

    \n

    While more and more businesses are taking this concern seriously and are implementing security measures like password management, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and single sign-on (SSO), it is unfortunate that people still cling to poor password habits.

    \n

    NordPass came up with a database of 500 million leaked passwords and ranked them based on their usage in its list of worst passwords in 2019. Keep reading for some of the worst of the bunch.

    \n

    The Top 51 Worst Passwords of 2019

    \n

    In this list, you’ll recognize some old standbys like \"123456\" and \"password\" in the top spots. But there are some unexpected ones here, too.

    \n

    For example, passwords like zinch and g_czechout may seem harder to crack, yet they still made it to the 7th and 8th positions, respectively.

    \n

    You’ll also see popular female names like Jasmine or Jennifer. Another tactic is using a string of letters that forms a pattern or a line on the keyboard. Popular examples include asdfghjkl and 1qaz2wsx.

    Why is password hygiene not taken seriously?

    \n

    Now that you've seen the worst passwords, you may want to improve the password hygiene of your enterprise.

    \n

    But what if your customers don't follow good password hygiene?

    \n

    Unfortunately, many don't. The biggest reason is that remembering multiple passwords for multiple accounts is hard work. This leads to people using easy-to-guess passwords or recycled passwords which can lead to a domino effect of attacks on both consumers and companies.

    \n

    Another flawed approach is that people may think their information is insignificant, so they assume that no hacker would care about them. However, a ransomware attack can lock users out of their accounts and become quite costly.

    \n

    \n \n \n

    \n

    How can you improve password security?

    \n

    As our worst passwords list shows, you can’t stop everyone from using bad passwords. However, you can prevent hackers from accessing passwords by using a Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) solution. Here’s how.

    \n

    An Identity Platform can help companies implement industry-standard hashing algorithms that protect passwords during transit or at rest. This is an effective way to prevent data from being exposed to hackers.

    \n

    With the increase in frequency and complexity of attacks, companies could also utilize additional features like two-factor authentication, risk-based authentication, and passwordless login.

    \n

    By implementing these features, companies can increase security to customer accounts that will help prevent data breaches and hacks.

    \n

    A CIAM solution also saves resources. Your support and development teams can devote their time to growing your business rather than responding to data breaches.

    \n

    Overall, bad passwords coupled with smart hackers are a big problem for  businesses. To protect your company from costly hacks and breaches, you need cybersecurity that prevents access to your sensitive data. For state-of-the-art cybersecurity and enhanced customer experience, choose a globally-certified CIAM solution like LoginRadius.
