A cyberattack is an attempt to unlawfully access a computer system or network to cause harm. Malicious actors frequently target customer (or consumer) identities for fraudulent activities, increasing the need to secure these systems. CIAM helps protect data privacy and defends against fraud and abuse, including identity theft, financial fraud, and other cyber threats. For example, in October 2024, according to Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., an Israel-based cybersecurity company, cyberattacks in the U.S. rose by 56% year-over-year, with a weekly average of 1,300 attacks per organization - 10% higher than the previous quarter. Therefore, the increase in security breaches and cyberattacks is fueling the growth of the consumer IAM market.
