Beyond Identity Joins Ping Identity’s Technology Alliance Program to Enable Passwordless Single Sign-On
July 23 2020 - 9:00AM
Passwordless identity management provider Beyond Identity today
announced a partnership with Ping Identity (NYSE: PING), the
Intelligent Identity solution for the enterprise. A new addition to
Ping Identity’s Technology Alliance Program, Beyond Identity is the
first passwordless authentication vendor to deliver full device
security posture information to Ping Identity’s leading single
sign-on (SSO) solution, PingFederate®. This seamless integration
enables enterprises to make adaptive, risk-based authentication
decisions, strengthening their defenses while enhancing the login
experience for end users and improving security by eliminating
passwords.
Beyond Identity has introduced a revolutionary, passwordless
identity management solution. The company replaces passwords with
trusted certificates, originally defined in public-key cryptography
and ubiquitously deployed within TLS (formerly SSL). This proven,
secure, and scalable approach enables Beyond Identity to eliminate
passwords, reduce risk for organizations, and remove friction for
end users.
“Ping Identity helps the world’s leading organizations clearly
define and securely defend their modern, identity-based
perimeters,” said Loren Russon, VP of Product Management at Ping
Identity. “Ping Identity customers are interested in removing
passwords and providing end users with a more seamless and secure
authentication experience. We welcome Beyond Identity into our
world-class network of partners and look forward to collaborating
on delivering secure and seamless digital experiences to global
enterprises that are providing secure and simple user experiences
to their onsite and remote workforces.”
Unlike other authentication methods, Beyond Identity increases
both usability and security simultaneously. The company’s
cloud-native platform, Beyond Identity for Workforces, integrates
with PingFederate as a delegate identity provider replacing
passwords with fundamentally secure asymmetric-key cryptography and
X.509 certificates. Beyond Identity provides a signed, immutable
record of each login transaction for audit and compliance purposes,
including who accessed the application, from which device, and
real-time device security posture information for contextual,
risk-based authentication. Employing standard OpenID Connect flows
and offering support for SAML and SCIM, Beyond Identity enables
rapid integration of the passwordless experience into
PingFederate.
“Enterprises that use Ping Identity for access management and
SSO are taking critical, transformative steps toward reducing their
overreliance on inherently insecure passwords,” said Tom (TJ)
Jermoluk, Co-Founder and CEO of Beyond Identity. “Our integration
with Ping Identity will drastically relieve the administrative
burden on already overwhelmed IT help desks and empower global
workforces – more distributed now than ever before – to more
securely and effortlessly gain access to the resources and
applications they need.”
Through its Technology Alliance Program (TAP), Ping Identity
collaborates with other security leaders to ensure any enterprise
can federate identity and access across their organization by
providing comprehensive, seamlessly integrated solutions. The TAP
program enables collaboration between Ping Identity and top-tier
technology companies to solve unique identity and access management
(IAM) challenges, increase the effectiveness of existing IAM
products, and take advantage of emerging technologies.
Together, Beyond Identity and Ping Identity are providing
enterprises with:
- Password Elimination: Reduces a major source
of risk by eliminating the possibility of account takeover.
- Improved End-User Experience: No passwords for
users to create, remember, or change.
- Risk-Based Authorization: Granular device and
device security posture data and a completely machine-verifiable
audit trail.
- Reduced IT Costs and Overhead: User
self-service registration, migration, and recovery of devices,
eliminating help desk calls.
- Rapid Time to Value: Codeless,
configuration-based integration with PingFederate and can be set up
in under an hour.
