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.

IBM Security Verify has a very simple and yet practical design which saves us a lot of time while navigating though it. And it's overall security and the ability to easily setup single sign-on and multi-factor authentication is one of my favourite feature. Also integrating it in our system was really easy as the support was quick to reply and solve all our problems without any delay.

IBM Security Verify makes adding users and encrypting all my info easy, monitoring system access and simplifying administration. It complements IBM's other products well, enabling single sign-on for several apps and facilitating access to workplace apps anytime, wherever, using employees' favorite devices. IBM Security Verify also protects valuables by screening for new threats and verifying user identities through tailored multi-factor authentication systems, all of which, from experience, work very well.

My organization used IBM Security Verify primarily as a IAM solution that addressed various identity and access management challenges. Some of the problems that were addressed with the application related to Identity-related threats and anomalies in real-time. Helping my organization proactively mitigate security risks faster.

At Core Rehab we have used IBM Security Verify for cyber security purposes, it is an added layer of security for our EMR platform, etc. All devices we have have used it in the past with very little complaints other than cost of the service. I would recommend to anyone provided the cost isn't too high.

We identified Verify to establish a zero-trust posture organisation wide which enables us to provide an extra layer of authentication to our critical resources. Multi-factor authentication is a big must these days and all security products we reviewed at the time had to have this ability to enable us with internal/external cyber resilience compliance. Integration with existing systems was also a major part of our scoping work.

IBM Security Verify was implemented as an additional layer of security internally for SSO and MFA specifically when accessing client portals and servers. It has been utilised elsewhere in the business, too and has since been sold to clients as a solution due to the success we had internally. Given its low price entry point, we found it easy to justify internally and an easy sell to clients.

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.

It is a very fast cybersecurity implementation tool that provides safe access to my systems. It allows me more control over privileged accounts. The tool is not complicated to use. In my work, it is like a system that allows access to main data (data of different types) stringently confidential.

We are using IBM Security Verify to manage the users in our 70+ store locations and keep the access rights in different systems up to date as well as prevent changes to rights that might otherwise intentionally or unintentionally happen. The tool helps us to create accounts in multiple Active Directory Forests - deciding which forest is the right one based upon data that we need for different purposes anyways. AD User Groups as well as SAP roles are managed using a flexible and customized model that is updated to reflect changing needs multiple times a year. Those updates then automatically affect all old and new users, saving us a lot of time and work.

This product is powerful security authentication tool that gives our customers access to company data. It provides data analytics on customer engagements with our websites. It prevents confidential data from cyber threats and unauthorized parties. The current malware attacks could be more threatening without this platform. Customer verification process has been efficient with reliable insights from interactive applications.

We use IBM Security Verify for authentication and authorization of brokers and employees, as a reverse proxy for various applications, and for automated provisioning of permissions.The main issues were a completely secure product as it is the gateway to the Internet, very flexible customization options, and the ability to fully automate the provisioning of our authorizations.
