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
Proven benchmarks
