Ping Identity Unveils Advanced Passwordless Features to Transform Digital Experiences

PingZero provides frictionless login
experiences with passwordless authentication including support for
the FIDO2 open standard
Ping Identity (NYSE: PING), the intelligent identity solution
for the enterprise, today announced PingZero, a suite of
passwordless authentication features organizations can implement to
deliver seamless digital experiences to employees and customers. By
eliminating login friction, including the need for usernames and
passwords, PingZero boosts employee productivity, improves customer
retention and acquisition rates, and strengthens cybersecurity
defenses — all with zero passwords and zero friction. PingZero
uniquely leverages the Ping Intelligent Identity platform and other
technologies including the FIDO2 standard to enable passwordless
experiences across a variety of resources and applications.
Verizon’s investigative report found that passwords are one of
the most common causes of security breaches and also a major
barrier in digital experiences. In fact, by 2022, 60% of large
global enterprises and 90% of mid-size enterprises will implement
passwordless methods in more than 50 percent of use cases, predicts
Gartner. That’s because passwordless features accelerate and
increase adoption of remote work and digital-first initiatives
while improving the security and cyber hygiene of customers and
employees, who are burdened with keeping track of more usernames
and passwords than ever before.
PingZero’s advanced passwordless authentication utilizes device
and browser settings, biometrics, and the FIDO2 standard to provide
enterprises with greater assurance that a user is who they say they
are. The solution also removes interruptions like excessive login
prompts or password resets, which not only cause strain on IT
departments but deteriorate employee productivity and customer
engagement.
“PingZero was designed with a frictionless user journey in
mind,” said Andre Durand, CEO of Ping Identity. “At Ping we are
committed to delivering secure, convenient experiences for our
customers and removing friction is a key component in our
innovation evolution. PingZero enables businesses to work smarter
by eliminating the time wasted managing and resetting passwords and
instead provides users with more secure access to what they need to
get work done efficiently.”
PingZero can be deployed across a broad range of enterprise
resources including mobile, SaaS, legacy applications, and more.
PingZero is available in multiple Ping offerings including the
comprehensive authentication authority solutions, Customer360 and
Workforce360. Key features include:
- User Self-Registration: A simple and convenient QR
code-based sign-on process means no passwords are needed at the
time of account creation.
- Customization: Includes the ability for enterprises to
use their own branded mobile application to implement PingZero
without requiring third-party MFA applications for the user to
download.
- Security and Compliance: Provides phishing-resistant,
privacy-preserving authentication based on the FIDO2/WebAuthn
standard.
- Continuous Authentication: Added convenience by
requiring a user to re-authenticate only when certain risk
thresholds are exceeded. Operating in the background, risk signals
are tracked and monitored including changes in geolocation, IP
address, device posture, and other factors.
