Forrester survey reveals complexity of identity verification

Verification is good for business, but it must be designed to make the experience safe, trusted, and manageable for the consumer. The study, featuring perspectives from 256 US senior technology and business leaders, found that “74% of companies say it is very or extremely likely that firms will outsource identity verification to third parties such as financial firms in the future.”
