As we rush to keep up with the pace of the world today, we continue to increase our mobile usage. As the number of touch points we use to interact with our favorite brands increases, so too does the complexity of delivering seamless, secure access to the right resources across multiple channels, devices and applications. Despite most brands desire to serve customers at the point of need on any device, they often struggle with providing the right balance between security and an exceptional customer experience.

Here Eric Sachs, leader of Google's Identity team, discusses how they use the role of identity and access management to their advantage in providing a killer customer experience.
