One is to prioritize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDigital identity is critical infrastructure for how you&#8217;re enabling trust in your digital experiences and service delivery \u2014 it is how you&#8217;re securing the identities of your constituents,\u201d says Thompson. \u201cAnd so it needs to be treated with that level of care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, they stressed the importance of getting educated, whether that\u2019s understanding privacy laws and the costs of fraud, familiarizing themselves with the various identity solutions in the market, and performance-testing solutions before selecting and onboarding vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
