Connected Products: why authentication is a hygiene factor
Understanding the business benefits of authentication and the hidden risks of neglecting it
Insight Connected Products: why authentication is a hygiene factor

More and more fashion brands are adopting digital IDs to support their traceability, engagement, and digital product passport strategies. However, as they set out on the journey to connect their products, many remain unaware of the critical role secure authentication plays in both protecting the brand and the growing potential to drive value throughout the circular lifecycle of the product.

Project teams are commonly unfamiliar with the risks they are inadvertently exposing their organisation to, by underestimating the importance of protecting product IDs with secure authentication, by neglecting authentication altogether, or worse, having a misinformed sense of security about their current implementation. Consequences can result in projects having the opposite effect of their intended objectives, leaving brands more exposed to risk from counterfeit products, reduced sustainability and an erosion of consumer and market trust.
