IBM Verify Identity Protection

Protect your organization from identity-based attacks

IBM Verify Identity Protection is a unique solution, combining identity threat detection and response (ITDR) for immediate response to threats and identity security posture management (ISPM) to identify vulnerabilities and prevent attacks from happening. With AI-powered observability, organizations can now monitor both human and nonhuman identities more effectively, which enhances identity hygiene across the entire organization.

Benefits

Remediate threats, exposures and vulnerabilities

Provide advanced ITDR capabilities with detailed contextual analysis across an identity infrastructure, including cloud Identity Providers (IdPs), on-prem or hybrid directories, MFA solutions, single sign-on (SSO), PAM solutions and more.

Identity systems misconfiguration and noncompliance

Detect vulnerable misconfigurations caused by human error, hazardous deviations from policy and inadequate implementations of identity tools such as MFA, privileged access and IAM 1 tools.

Eliminate identity and access exposure

Detect and enable remediation of identity-related vulnerabilities such as shadow assets, unauthorized local accounts, missing multifactor authentication (MFA) and usage of unauthorized SaaS apps across any cloud or platform.

Continuously map every access flow

Monitor and document how data and requests move through your various systems and applications.

Uncover hidden vulnerabilities

Detect and remediate previously hidden security gaps such as shadow access, exposed assets, compromised identities, unknown SaaS apps, lack of MFA and much more.

A holistic identity security approach

Gain visibility across identity systems to consolidate threats and reconcile and detect both vulnerabilities and active attacks.

Use cases

ISPM and ITDR within one solution

Combining ISPM to identify weaknesses before they are targeted by an actual attack and ITDR for real-time response to ongoing threats.

Identity incident investigation and response

Provide full identity context to any cyberthreat or incident, allowing you to quickly determine all identities involved and discover the "who, what, when and where" surrounding the incident.

Identity-based zero trust

Proactively plan what to include in your zero trust solution with full identity and access visibility, helping ensure no unauthorized access and that no one bypasses it.

Secure privileged access

Know what to include in your privileged access solution, including service accounts and users. Be confident that your privileged access solution is continually doing its job, and nothing is slipping through.
