Consider this: More than half of data breaches are caused by insiders, or anyone who has access to your company’s assets. It is no wonder that today, identity and access management (IAM) forms an integral part of any company’s IT security strategy. IBM has a long history in providing identity solutions and is recognized as a leader in this space by many respected analysts, most recently Frost & Sullivan.

IBM continues to invest in its identity and access portfolio and is pleased to introduce IBM IdentityDev, a platform that allows you to contribute, collaborate and help shape the future of identity management solutions.

IdentityDev opens the doors to IBM’s technical and engineering ecosystem. It’s a one-stop center that helps you traverse the complete solution life cycle, including choosing the right products to meet your business needs, enabling you to participate in product design and development and speeding up your deployment cycles.

About the IAM Portal

The IBM IdentityDev portal is made up of five sections:

The Showroom

The Showroom is where you explore and understand available options. This section allows you to familiarize yourself with the IBM identity management portfolio. You can access relevant assets or connect with IBM experts to learn about solutions and evaluate products.

The Concept Studio

The Concept Studio is where you make your vision a reality. It allows you to engage with IBM product architects on early design discussions and influence product road maps to meet your organization’s unique needs.

The Construction Shop

Users get involved with product development at the Construction Shop. There, you have the opportunity to share your valuable experience and feedback with the development team in order to improve work-in-progress products.

The Deployment Center

The Deployment Center is where you can speed up your deployment cycles. It helps you understand key IAM integration scenarios and explore relevant information regarding the deployment, configuration and administration of IBM products.

The Service Station

Finally, at the Service Station, you can resolve any deployment challenges. Use this section to connect with IAM experts, who will assist in resolving any challenges that you might come across during implementation of identity solutions.

As IBM continues to develop technologies to solve new and emerging security issues, we want to work hand in hand with you. Sign up and explore the IBM IdentityDev program today.

Passwords, passkeys and familiarity bias

5 min read - As passkey (passwordless authentication) adoption proceeds, misconceptions abound. There appears to be a widespread impression that passkeys may be more convenient and less secure than passwords. The reality is that they are both more secure and more convenient — possibly a first in cybersecurity.Most of us could be forgiven for not realizing passwordless authentication is more secure than passwords. Thinking back to the first couple of use cases I was exposed to — a phone operating system (OS) and a…
