Identity authentication is crucial for securing digital interactions, preventing fraud, and ensuring only authorized users gain access.

Strong authentication systems mitigate risks like credential theft and unauthorized access. Organizations must balance security with usability while leveraging AI, biometrics, and behavior-based authentication for future-proof solutions.
