Ping Identity Ushers in Next Generation of Identity Security with New Solutions Bringing Businesses and Consumers into the Post-Password Era
MONTEREY, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Ping
Identity®,
The Identity Security Company™, today announced at the Cloud
Identity Summit major new solutions and product updates that will
bring the industry closer to a post-password security standard.
Following on the heels of its acquisition
of multi-factor authentication provider accells technologies earlier
this year, the company is launching PingID, a brand new security
solution for one-swipe mobile authentication. The launch also features
significant new upgrades to the company's PingFederate, PingAccess and
PingOne product lines.
"Companies are spending more than $40 billion on IT security technology
while hackers cost the U.S. economy as much as $100 billion every year,
and the undisputed majority of these breaches are password-related,"
said Andre Durand, CEO, Ping Identity. "These economics tell a clear
story: security approaches that target endpoints, networks and email are
not equipped to cope with the increasingly mobile and cloud-connected
world in which we live. With today's announcements, Ping is excited to
move one step forward in creating a safe and secure world where strong
identity takes you anywhere."
New solutions and product updates include:
-
PingID - PingID delivers a sophisticated approach to
multi-factor authentication and mobile strong authentication with
unmatched user experience and a platform end users have today - their
smartphone. With the PingID app, end users swipe their smartphone for
authentication as a primary or second factor to access applications
and services. Built on an adaptive authentication framework, PingID
can deliver access policies to applications based on geolocation,
challenge-response, and/or a unique swie pattern. PingID delivers one
secure app to authenticate any employee, partner or customer while
ensuring a low total cost of ownership with no hardware or transaction
costs and the user experience contributes to self-service onboarding
and high user satisfaction. For more details on PingID, visit this blog

Federated Access Management - New capabilities in PingFederate
(v7.2) and PingAccess (v3.0) come together to give enterprises an
agile way to add mobile access and move their business applications
and infrastructure into the cloud. With federated access management,
businesses can securely and easily extend identity security policies
and infrastructure across cloud, API, and mobile environments without
security coding headaches and WAM retrofitting nightmares. Enterprises
can easily extend their existing directory stores and authentication
methods across web and mobile properties, public and private
cloud--regardless of device. This solution provides identity security
for enterprises with Mobile App Development/API projects; Amazon AWS,
private and hybrid cloud projects; and customer and partner federation
initiatives. For more details on Federated Access Management, visit

PingOne Summer - PingOne is a professional-grade IDaaS solution
that allows IT to deliver a compelling user experience with the access
control and security policies the organization requires. The enhanced
application catalog provides users with personal and business
applications from PingOne. New multi-factor authentication support
allows organizations to add an extra layer of security to critical
business applications, including the new PingID app or their MFA (News - Alert) of
choice; and new internationalization features meet global enterprise
requirements for non-English interfaces (starting with French and
German) and privacy domicile capabilities that allow administrators to
customize personally identifiable information (PII) by region. For
