ForgeRock has launched the open-source ForgeRock Identity Platform, a solution designed to keep customers’ digital identities consistent regardless of the device or service they use to interact with businesses. With data privacy becoming such a top-of-mind issue in retail, ForgeRock aims to help merchants adapt to evolving customer data regulations.
ForgeRock enables businesses to present customers with options to proactively delegate — and revoke — data access to others. In addition, the solution enables users to:
-
Consent or deny requested data access;
-
Monitor data access they have consented to over time; and

-
Adjust that access upwards and downwards in a conveniently centralized location.
The identity management platform supports User-Managed Access (UMA), which is designed for consumer consent and data sharing purposes.
“As the influence of the IoT spreads to all aspects of our lives, the ability to adapt access management capabilities quickly will become pivotal to future business success,” said Martin Kuppinger, Founder and Principal Analyst of KuppingerCole. “Furthermore, with consumer expectations surrounding data security and privacy higher than ever before, standards such as UMA will soon become the industry benchmark to which all organizations must conform.”
