What IBM Verify is
IBM Verify is a paid identity and access management platform for human, customer, workforce, and non-human identities across web, mobile, and hybrid enterprise environments. It combines authentication, adaptive risk evaluation, lifecycle governance, delegation, consent management, and continuous audit. Multifactor authentication can be adaptive, passwordless, or AI-driven. Workforce capabilities include adaptive access, single sign-on, and lifecycle management for onboarding and offboarding. Customer identity features cover branded registration, consent-based data collection, profile self-service, account recovery, and management of large identity populations. No-code orchestration and drag-and-drop flows connect existing identity tools. Federation supports SAML and OpenID Connect, with application templates and REST APIs. IBM lists SOC 2, SOC 3, HIPAA, ISO 27001, OpenID, and PCI DSS in its compliance section. Verify runs on Android, iOS, web, and API environments. Pricing is usage-based, and a listed AWS Marketplace Workforce plan costs $15,899.29 a year on a 12-month contract for 100 workforce users per unit.
