Abstract:
In the context of accelerating digital transformation, digital identity has become a cornerstone of
cybersecurity, playing a crucial role in safeguarding personal data and ensuring secure access
mechanisms in cyberspace. The proliferation of digital services and online platforms has heightened
cyber threats, with rising incidents of identity fraud, data breaches, and unauthorized intrusions.
Consequently, robust digital identity management is essential, not only for authentication and access
control but also for compliance with international regulatory frameworks such as the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, the
compromise of digital identities poses severe risks, enabling malicious actors to infiltrate sensitive
systems and exploit personal information. In response, technologies such as multi-factor authentication
(MFA), privileged access management, and real-time identity verification have become increasingly
important for strengthening security resilience. This study examines the factors influencing users’
decisions in constructing their digital identities, offering recommendations to enhance identity
governance and cybersecurity, and contributing to the development of a sustainable framework for
digital identity protection in the era of hyperconnectivity. |
