One Identity and Ping Identity join forces to provide customers with identity-centric security

One Identity, a proven leader in identity-centred security, has announced a partnership with Ping Identity, an Intelligent Identity solution for the enterprise, to provide end-to-end identity management strategies and strengthen access security and control. The partnership enables customers to combine the power of Ping Identity’s access management technology with One Identity’s identity governance and administration (IGA) technology – two critically important elements to achieving an identity-centred security strategy which organisations need to combat today’s cyberthreats.

While the growth of the cloud is irrefutable, more than one in four (27%) of enterprises’ workloads are expected to remain on-premises by the end of 2020, according to LogicMonitor, meaning hybrid environments will remain common at many organisations. Key to keeping these hybrid organisations secure is ensuring that all data and applications across both on-premises and cloud environments are accessed by the right users. However, a ‘user’ today could be an employee, partner, contractor or supplier. Coupled with the complexity inherent in a hybrid environment, the task of providing simplified, secure and compliant access to all classes of users can be problematic and time-consuming.

With the integration of One Identity and Ping Identity products, customers can vastly improve both identity and access security and control, while reducing complexity and freeing up time for more strategic projects. Customers can seamlessly integrate Ping Identity’s single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA) and access management capabilities with One Identity Manager’s governance and identity administration, and the underlying accounts that access critical business systems, applications, databases and SaaS services.
