Identity Services are the guardians of Amazon’s most sacred asset - customer trust! The stakes for us at Amazon have never been greater as Amazon expands more into customers’ daily lives. We enable Amazon businesses to scale by providing secure authentication and authorization solutions in a friction-less manner. We are moving towards the vision where our clients no longer have to choose between sophisticated security and user convenience. Our guiding principle for adaptive authentication is simple; if we suspect a risk, we will deploy the most secure and appropriate available challenge, and if we do not, we will let the customer use Amazon unimpeded.

The area of influence is all Amazon customers on Amazon devices, Amazon and subsidiary apps as well as thousands of Login with Amazon clients and millions of customers.
