Product Details

What is IBM Security Verify?

A centralized solution for managing customer and workforce identity and access including capabilities such as single-sign-on, multifactor authentication, adaptive AI-based access, passwordless access, and lifecycle and consent management.

IBM Security Verify is a single-stack cloud-based, on premises, or hybrid-cloud solution for allidentity and access needs listed above. Other advantages it presents are a way to integrate with legacy access and CRM applications, reverse proxies to help increase performance, reliability, and security, and a way to migrate from on-premises to cloud, not only from an application standpoint, but also in unifying directories.

If data residency is a top concern, when combined with AWS, the vendor states that IBM Security Verify has the broadest tenancy, and can be delivered using a rapid deployment model that has already been put to the test in several critical situations. IBM further states they continue to invest in achieving and maintaining all the pertinent certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, plus full FedRAMP authorization in 2022.

IBM Security Verify is not just a solution IBM provides to clients for identity and access, but it is used it to establish a zero-trust posture for over 25 million of the company's own internal and external end-users, supporting 5,000 applications, more than 600 federated client companies and their workforces, and over 150,000 authorization groups, plus Mac, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and Z (mainframe) operating systems, which they state includes one of the world’s largest Apple deployments, and one of the largest Linux deployments.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use the tool to implement EAI, SAML, OAuth, and OIDC solutions for the applications across the organization. We mainly use it for authorization and token-based solutions for applications passing via SAML. It addresses almost all the security issues and they keep releasing fix packs for any security or solutions concerns we raise.
Pros and Cons
  • The seamless integration/interaction with multiple tools based on the organization's requirements
  • The availability of multiple authentication or authorization solutions within the tool
  • Seamless single sign-on across business partners
  • Multi-factor authentication is the key to this tool
  • Out-of-the-box functionalities
  • Customizing the solutions based on the requirement
  • The configuration file is quite complex. It's sometimes hard to understand what's for what. I wish there were a simpler UI since we have a junction setup and all
Likelihood to Recommend
The perfect tool for authentication and authorization solutions. It supports MFA, OTP, OIDC, OAuth, and SAML solutions. Integration with third-party applications can be achieved. It has a high level of security. The stability of the tool is amazing. The UI is user-friendly to set up the solutions. They already have predefined functions and methods that can be made use of to achieve the desired result. The configuration file setup is somewhat difficult.

We once had an issue with one of the productions boxes replication was out of sync and had very huge impact. When the team was involved to support us, they joined the calls of straight 6 hrs. They made sure to provide the temporary solution to mitigate the outage as a initial fix and made sure the issue was fixed permanently.

There was the critical production issue where we raised the severity 1 PMR and requested IBM to be there on the call until the issue is resolved. They helped in to resolve the issue and were there on the call all the while.
