Seamless Integration of PowerVC MFA with PowerSC for Centralized Security Compliance

Currently, IBM PowerVC supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for user access. However, there is no way to integrate or enforce this MFA configuration within IBM PowerSC. This creates a gap in centralized compliance and security management because PowerSC cannot detect, report, or validate MFA policies applied to PowerVC environments. As a result, administrators have to manage MFA settings separately, which increases operational overhead and introduces potential compliance blind spots.

Integrating PowerVC MFA with PowerSC would provide:

Centralized Security Compliance: PowerSC could track and validate MFA enforcement within PowerVC, ensuring consistent adherence to organizational and regulatory security standards.

Improved Audit and Reporting: Security auditors could view MFA compliance across PowerVC directly from PowerSC, reducing manual checks.

Reduced Risk: A unified security framework lowers the likelihood of configuration drift, misconfiguration, or overlooked vulnerabilities.

Operational Efficiency: Administrators would save time by managing and validating MFA policies through a single interface.
