About

Ezra Rayburn. Principal IAM Consultant.

Fourteen years in identity governance and lifecycle automation. Founder of Rayburn Ideas since 2012. Based in Boca Raton.

The work I do

I architect identity and access for revenue generating environments. My focus is automated Joiner Mover Leaver lifecycles, SaaS capital recovery, and PAM and MFA hardening for SOC2.

I bridge cybersecurity and revenue operations. I enforce least privilege and MFA while cutting access related support volume. One engagement reduced that volume by 55%.

You work with me directly. The architect on the sales call is the architect doing the build.

The Lab First method

Most consultants test in production. I do not. Every architecture runs in a dedicated lab that simulates an enterprise scale forest.

  • Lab stack: Windows Server 2025, PowerShell, n8n
  • 99.9% script integrity confirmed before rollout
  • 0% production downtime during migrations
Sandbox versus production network topology used for Lab First validation
