Transmit Security
Identity security platform focused on passwordless authentication, identity verification and fraud prevention for CIAM use cases.
Quick answer
What is Transmit Security?
Short answer
Transmit Security positions itself as an identity security platform rather than a traditional CIAM. Its products span passwordless authentication, identity verification, fraud detection and journey orchestration, aimed at high-risk consumer use cases such as banking and large retailers. Customers often adopt it on top of (or instead of) a more general CIAM when fraud, account takeover and verification are the leading concerns.
- Best for

- When to choose
- You run a high-risk consumer service and want fraud, identity verification and passwordless from one vendor.
- When not to choose
- You are mainly looking for general-purpose CIAM, workforce SSO or a small developer auth library.
