Identity and Trust are Becoming the Platform
AI is accelerating fraud alongside innovation, pushing identity and trust from a security function into a core platform requirement across software and financial services.

This makes trust an architectural and operating-model decision requiring shared accountability across product, engineering, risk, fraud, and compliance. The strongest approach is to treat identity and trust as a named platform with clear ownership, embed continuous verification into core journeys, and track trust with metrics tied to business outcomes such as conversion, retention, loss rates, and support load.
