We’re thrilled to share that IBM is known as a Chief in the latest Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Entry Administration. IBM is acknowledged for its Capability to Execute and Completeness of Imaginative and prescient.
As a workforce, we’ve been working exhausting to ship on a roadmap of identification and entry administration capabilities that we consider remedy the most important challenges organizations are going through in terms of managing identities in at present’s dispersed, hybrid cloud environments. Finally, our imaginative and prescient is to offer the correct constructing blocks for organizations to construct an “identification material” that integrates, augments and streamlines the myriad of disconnected and incompatible identification instruments organizations are utilizing at present.
Let’s dig into what this seems to be like in follow.
The challenges of managing identification throughout hybrid cloud
As cloud migration and digital transformation speed up, organizations are going through an enormous quantity of complexity in terms of identification and entry administration (IAM). They’re more and more working throughout multi-cloud environments and instruments — every of which gives their very own set of identification and entry administration (IAM) capabilities to handle. On the identical time, they’re additionally nonetheless counting on legacy techniques and architectures, which regularly lack a few of the normal capabilities wanted for a contemporary IAM technique. Finally, these instruments are making a disconnected and complex net of identities to be managed, with no simple option to combine or streamline between them. These identification silos disrupt strategic intentions of offering customers a constant and frictionless authentication expertise and enhancing identification safety.
Taking an “identification material” strategy can assist organizations bridge the hole between legacy identification infrastructure and trendy cloud-based IAM techniques. An identification material goals to combine and improve current identification options moderately than substitute them. The objective is to create a much less complicated surroundings the place constant safety authentication flows and visibility may be enforced.
Offering the constructing blocks for identification material
Our technique with IBM Security Verify is to assist purchasers drastically simplify their identification technique – by offering them with the foundational constructing blocks to create an identity fabric. Particularly, we’re constructing versatile and modular identification options which might be designed to assist purchasers join their current IAM capabilities, bridge the hole between legacy and cloud-based options, and increase capabilities which might be lacking from inside these respective toolsets.
We’re constructing our identification instruments in a means that helps eradicate identification silos and improves person expertise throughout all apps. This contains extending trendy authentication mechanisms to legacy apps with no-code modifications, enabling a constant person expertise throughout all functions and enhancing safety posture with real-time behavioral and biometric risk-based authentication.

Gartner® recognition for Completeness of Imaginative and prescient and Capability to Execute
IBM was lately talked about within the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Entry Administration, the place IBM was named as a pacesetter on this area.
This yr’s report focuses on entry administration platforms that “embody an identification supplier (IdP) and set up, handle, and implement runtime entry controls to not less than cloud, trendy standards-based net and basic net functions.” Some highlights on the will need to have capabilities famous for this market are:
- A listing or identification repository for workforce or exterior customers that features identification synchronization providers
- Identification admin for built-in apps that features lifecycle and profile administration capabilities with help for the System for Cross-Area Identification Administration
- SSO and session administration with help for normal identification protocols and APIs for accessing standards-based and legacy apps
- Consumer authentication (together with commodity MFA)
- Authorization enforcement (together with help for contemporary authorization protocols, together with OAuth 2.0)
Optionally available capabilities assessed for the AM market included options like journey time orchestration, low/no-code interfaces for personalization and extensibility, passwordless authentication and identification menace detection and response.
Finally, we consider that the comprehensiveness and adaptability of our present capabilities, mixed will set IBM Safety Confirm as a super companion for corporations seeking to simplify the muse of their identification administration technique. This basis has the potential to pave the way in which for quicker and simpler identity-based menace detection and response (ITDR).
