Ping Identity
announced the addition of key identity capabilities to its FedRAMP High
& DoD IL5 offerings. With Ping Government Identity Cloud, federal
agencies and government suppliers now have access to capabilities that
enable them to boost compliance, security and experiences through
modernizing identity, credential and access management.
Following FedRAMP High certification, DOD Impact Level 5 (IL5) authorization, and joining with ForgeRock,
Ping Government Identity Cloud now offers authorized identity
capabilities for multi-factor authentication (MFA), identity governance
and administration (IGA), lifecycle management (LCM), relationship
management, and orchestration. These features enable:
- Greater efficiency by leveraging a single identity vendor for
end-to-end FedRAMP High and DoD IL5 identity capabilities, which are
critical security thresholds for many federal organizations, especially
DoD agencies and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
- Better experiences and agility for government agents and
citizens, by orchestrating identity technologies that make it easier to
log in and securely access resources.
- Better compliance with OMB M-21-31, especially for EL3
requirements, through visibility and logging of IGA and LCM events,
enabling government workers to automate access request workflows,
recertify that access, ensure toxic combinations of access are blocked,
and easily certify compliance with policies.
"The addition of these identity features to Ping's FedRAMP High
offerings comes at a critical time for federal agencies and government
suppliers," said Loren Russon, SVP of
Product and Technology at Ping Identity. "Not only does it come on the
heels of the Department of Defense's requirements for cloud solution
providers to have FedRAMP Moderate ATO (or higher) to meet CMMC
compliance, but also follows CISA's proposed cyber incident reporting
rules for critical infrastructure organizations. These capabilities will
enable government entities to not only be compliant but also help
protect themselves from advancing cybersecurity risks."
Delivered as dedicated tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) instead of
multi-tenant like other identity vendors, the solution combines
adaptive authentication, dynamic authorization, and orchestration
solutions at a higher level of security and compliance than is available
through other solutions in the industry. Additionally, Ping is the only
identity vendor that can deliver full feature parity of identity
capabilities in any deployment model, including SaaS, on-premises,
hybrid, DDIL (disrupted, disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth)
and air-gapped environments.
