Query:

According to an Experian survey, 42% of millennials would buy

complete. Many commerce sites that store customer data have
layered cybersecurity like multi-factor authentication or

benefit consumer safety, they create a poor customer experience.

Brands must look to employ protection against cyber and
account-specific threats without creating disruptions for
customers to avoid cart abandonment and decreased traffic.

i'M LOOKING FOR INSIGHT ON COSTS FACTORS AND OPTIONS SUCH AS
passive biometric security.

Are there more ideal layered options than other combinations?

How much of a role in providing cybersecurity protection for
consumers do merchants have?

What are the minimum protections consumers need today to

accounts?

What needs to be done to make cybersecurity more effective and
simpler for consumers?
