Enhances platform with immediate, needed access for elevated privileges (provided by) Ping Identity

In a significant move to bolster cloud security, Ping Identity has announced the integration of new Privileged Access Management (PAM) features into its platform. This development comes following the acquisition of Procyon, a cloud-native company specialising in simplifying secure access to cloud and on-premises infrastructures.

The new PAM features, now available through PingOne Privilege, are designed to provide a comprehensive security solution for managing privileged access for both human users and non-human entities like applications and machines. This solution is particularly effective in modern digital workplaces, where zero-trust principles are essential.

One of the key features of PingOne Privilege is the ability to request time-limited access to cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, and Azure, as well as on-prem servers, databases, and Kubernetes. End-users can make these requests via a user-friendly portal, ensuring compliance with zero-trust principles.

PingOne Privilege solutions are also designed to work seamlessly with AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. Authentication to all resources occurs passwordlessly, eliminating the need for static credentials like SSH keys or RDP passwords.

The new PAM features are intended to reshape the security landscape and maintain trust in the face of AI advancements. They are also a significant step forward in Ping Identity's efforts to expand its offerings in the PAM domain.

The expanded Ping Identity Platform now covers the three core categories of identity management: Access Management (AM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM). This integration allows for granular Just-in-Time access to permissions, roles, and resources in AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes, with context-sensitive policies and real-time authorization.

Furthermore, session recordings and audit logs for privileged access support compliance with various standards, including SOX, SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. This feature is crucial in maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring the highest level of security.

Lastly, PingOne Privilege solutions are designed to protect against identity theft, further enhancing the security of the Ping Identity Platform. This new offering is set to play a significant role in shaping the future of identity and access management in the cloud era.

In conclusion, the integration of Procyon's technology into Ping Identity's platform marks a significant step forward in the realm of cloud security. The new PAM features, now available through PingOne Privilege, are poised to revolutionise the way organisations manage and secure their privileged access in the modern digital workplace.
