IBM Verify Identity Governance Automated at Enterprise Scale.
Automate access reviews, risk-based authentication policies, and identity lifecycle management in IBM Verify with plain English logic.
Describe It in English.
It Runs Deterministically.
Overview
Run a quarterly access review against IBM Verify; compare each user's entitlements to their current role in HR; generate a compliance report and create remediation tickets for mismatches.
Execution Steps
Extract User Entitlements
- Pull the complete access list from IBM Verify for all active users
- Map each user to their role, department, and manager from the HR system
Compare Against Role Matrix
- Validate each user's entitlements against the approved role-based access control matrix
- Flag accounts with permissions that exceed or deviate from their role definition
Remediate and Report
- Auto-create remediation tickets for each flagged access violation with full context
- Generate a quarterly identity governance report grouped by risk severity for the CISO
Enterprise
Use Cases
Quarterly Access Reviews
Automate the entire access certification process in IBM Verify, extract entitlements, compare to policy, and generate audit evidence.
Orphan Account Detection
Cross-reference IBM Verify accounts against the HR system to find and disable accounts belonging to departed employees.
Adaptive Policy Enforcement
Adjust IBM Verify authentication requirements in real time based on user risk signals like location, device, and behavior patterns.
IBM Verify automation questions.
What can I automate between Kognitos and IBM Verify?
Identity lifecycle (JML), access reviews, MFA enrolment campaigns, risk-based step-up approvals, federation onboarding, and break-glass escalations. Kognitos reads HRIS or ITSM source-of-truth, applies your access policy in plain English, and updates IBM Verify deterministically with a full audit trail.
How does Kognitos connect to IBM Verify?
Through IBM Verify's REST APIs using an OAuth 2.0 client credential created in the Verify admin console. You scope the API client to least privilege, and Kognitos stores credentials in a managed secret store with key rotation.
Can Kognitos enforce SoD and least-privilege rules when writing to IBM Verify?
Yes. Your written rules express conditions deterministically ("finance approvers cannot also be receivers; only HR can mark a profile as terminated"). Kognitos enforces them at run time and logs every change with the requester, source ticket, and the original English rule, making SoX and ISO 27001 evidence collection automatic.
Is the IBM Verify integration secure and audit-ready?
Yes. Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II, encrypts data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), and produces an evidence-grade log for every read and write against IBM Verify. Optional IP allow-lists and dedicated tenants are available on request.
How do I get started with the Kognitos + IBM Verify integration?
Book a demo. We'll help you create a Verify API client, scope it for least privilege, and ship a working JML or access-review automation written in plain English in the first session.
