Challenges in Upgrading Your CIAM  Infrastructure


1. Low cost efficiency of all-in-one CIAM solutions: 
Many customer identity and access management (CIAM) solutions integrate various functions, including authentication, consent management, and access control. If you’ve already developed some components of this stack or prefer not to share user credentials with vendors, you won’t get the full benefits of these solutions.

2. Difficulties in expanding beyond vendor OAuth/OIDC support:
As standards continue to evolve, many Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) vendors fall behind. To meet your business needs, you may need to implement advanced security features and extensions of OAuth/OIDC, such as FAPI, mTLS, DPoP, PAR, and RAR or security recommendations like the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice. However, if you're locked into a specific vendor’s platform, you might not be able to implement them.

3. Loss of control over customer touchpoints:
If you delegate all functions to an all-in-one CIAM solution, including user authentication and consent, you lose flexibility in your frontend design and control over the user experience.  


Authlete handles complex OAuth/OIDC protocol processing and token lifecycle management for a broad range of security profiles and extensions, including the latest specifications. Since Authlete operates entirely on the backend, you have complete freedom in developing your user-facing frontends, such as login screens and profile management. You can deploy Authlete's Web APIs as a component solution to enhance your CIAM infrastructure.
