Verify architecture and sizing

This unit introduces the architecture, core features, and extensibility of IBM Verify. It covers key capabilities such as single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), adaptive access, governance, and branding. Verify scales dynamically and integrates with on-premises systems via bridges and gateways for authentication, directory sync, provisioning, and application modernization. It supports hybrid environments, risk-based access, and a wide range of deployment scenarios, enabling secure, centralized identity management across cloud and legacy systems.

The B Insurance Group case study

This case study follows B Insurance Group (BIG) as it modernizes and consolidates identity and access management across three divisions using IBM Verify. Initially, each division operates independently with separate user directories and branding, resulting in high operational overhead, inconsistent user experiences, and challenges implementing unified security controls, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). This case study showcases a structured, phased approach to IAM modernization that balances technical, operational, and user experience priorities.

Migrating users with CSV import API

This unit introduces the various migration methods available in Verify, describes Verify Cloud Directory, and dives deeper into the use of the CSV import API to migrate users. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of how to efficiently and securely import users into Verify.

Application migrationThis unit covers application migration and integration with Verify and explains considerations and methods for ensuring a successful migration. Application roles in IAM and the difference between a reverse proxy and federation integration are also explored.
