Verify Governance overview

IBM® Security Verify Governance is a network appliance-based integrated identity governance solution. This solution employs business-centric rules, activities, and processes. It empowers line-of-business managers, auditors, and risk managers to govern access and evaluate regulatory compliance across enterprise applications and services.

Verify Governance offers:
  • A single identity governance foundation platform to help organizations understand, control, and make business decisions that are related to user access and access risks.
  • A business-activity-based approach to facilitate communication between auditors and IT staff and to help determine segregation of duties violations across enterprise applications, including SAP.
  • Better visibility and user access control through consolidating access entitlements from target applications and employing sophisticated algorithms for role mining, modeling, and optimization.
  • User lifecycle management including provisioning and workflow capabilities, along with integration with Identity Manager and third-party tools.
  • Access request management that delivers easier-to-implement, business-friendly, self-service access request functions.
  • Target integration that automates the process of data collection and fulfillment of identity and access from distributed target systems.
  • Persona-based dashboards that help with task prioritization.
  • Options to authenticate users from an external user registry and from external or internal OpenID Connect providers.
  • Auditing of the events that are triggered by the completion or failure of an operation, a user action, or the change in state of a process, and the possibility to run Audit reports.
  • A mobile interface from which users can change the passwords of their accounts and managers can accept, reject, or redirect access requests from other users. The app can be downloaded from the App (iOS) or Google Play (Android) stores.
