Empowering secure, just-in-time access: Ping Identity's PAM solutions

Ping Identity has unveiled its latest Just-in-time Privileged Access capabilities within the Ping Identity Platform, elevating the security landscape for digital identities. Offering a holistic suite across the identity spectrum including Access Management, Identity Governance and Administration, and Privileged Access Management, the platform centralises identity controls, streamlining protection and management of digital environments.

Addressing Multicloud Complexity “As enterprises embrace multi-cloud strategies, the scale and complexity of cloud permissions are expanding faster than ever,” noted Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer at Ping Identity. The integration of PAM capabilities allows organisations to leverage just-in-time privileged access to address diverse identity and security challenges within a single, cohesive platform.

Robust Control with Advanced Security Ping's advanced PAM features excel in managing cloud permissions through a Trusted Platform Module, safeguarding device-level privileged sessions. Flexible deployment ensures adaptability through either agentless or agent-based models. With these offerings, Ping customers are enriched with:

• Just-in-Time Privileged Access: Streamlined requests and access to critical resources are facilitated, supporting zero trust practices.
• Passwordless Access: Secure passwordless authentication eliminates static credentials, enhancing security across essential resources.
• Ensured Compliance: Comprehensive session recordings and audit logs ensure adherence to key regulations.
• Hybrid Infrastructure Support: JIT access to cloud environments with context-aware policies enhances real-time authorisation.

Positioned for the future with the expanding influence of AI reshaping the digital landscape, CEO Andre Durand highlighted Ping Identity's commitment to safeguarding cloud infrastructure and securing identities. Positioned to drive privileged access innovation, Ping Identity's capabilities are boosted by the acquisition of Procyon, a cloud-native startup focused on simplifying and securing privileged access.

Procyon's infrastructure, designed to seamlessly integrate with modern DevOps workflows, ensures easy deployment, high assurance protection, and increased productivity. This acquisition enhances Ping's vision, empowering security and development teams to prevent identity breaches effectively.
