One Identity, a proven leader in identity-centered
security, today announced a partnership with
Ping
Identity, the
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-centered security strategy organizations need to combat
today's cyber threats.
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 organizations. Key to keeping these hybrid organizations 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.
When combined, One Identity
and Ping Identity provide the enterprise-level scalability and security
required to protect users, data and applications from today's cybersecurity
threats while enabling regulatory compliance. Together, the solutions
strengthen security and provide an enhanced end user experience by providing
the right access, to the right resources, at the right time. Key combined
features include:
- SSO and MFA to streamline and
secure access
- Complete
visibility into users and their entitlements to mitigate risks
- Data,
applications and access governance across on-premises, hybrid and cloud
environments
- User
access control from any device or location
- Increased
security with stronger authentication
- Identity
lifecycle and account correlation
- Automated
account provisioning, deprovisioning and workflows
- Self-service
access request and certifications

"As

the digital enterprise and One Identity's innovative identity-centered
solutions will meet a growing demand among our client base for one-stop hybrid
identity and access management solutions."

Identity and Ping Identity are both critical partners to our business, as our

cloud, on premises and hybrid environments."
