Ping Identity unveils just-in-time privileged access platform
Ping Identity has introduced new Just-in-time Privileged Access capabilities in its Ping Identity Platform, addressing Access Management, Identity Governance and Administration, and Privileged Access Management. Platform capabilities The updated Ping Identity Platform centralises identity controls to deliver solutions for a range of digital security and management requirements. According to the company, the platform's Privileged Access Management (PAM) now integrates with Access Management (AM) and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), supporting organisations as they manage increasingly complex and distributed digital architectures. Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer at Ping Identity, explained the need for such an approach, citing the shift to multi-cloud environments as a key driver. "As enterprises embrace multi-cloud strategies, the scale and complexity of cloud permissions are expanding faster than ever. Traditional, vault-based PAM solutions can't keep up with today's dynamic business needs," said Peter Barker. "With the addition of PAM capabilities, we're empowering organisations to adopt just-in-time (JIT) privileged access and solve a broader set of identity and security challenges – all within a unified platform." Security features The platform's new PAM capabilities use a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to safeguard privileged sessions at the device level. This technology supports both agentless and agent-based deployments, allowing flexibility based on customer requirements. The new privileged access functionalities feature Just-in-time (JIT) access, enabling users to request and receive time-restricted permissions to cloud environments - including AWS, GCP, and Azure - alongside on-premises environments such as servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters. These permissions comply with zero trust security principles and are delivered through a user-focused portal. In addition, the update facilitates passwordless authentication, granting access to resources like Server SSH, RDP, and IAM services without the need for static credentials, including SSH keys and RDP passwords. Compliance remains a focus, with session recording and audit logging features built in to help organisations adhere to regulatory standards, including SOX, SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. The new PAM offering also supports hybrid infrastructure. Organisations can provide granular, JIT access to roles and resources across cloud and container environments using context-aware policies and real-time authorisation. Organisational impact Andre Durand, Chief Executive Officer and founder of Ping Identity, commented on the release in the context of industry changes. "We're at a critical inflection point, where AI is reshaping the landscape and eroding trust," said Andre Durand. "Ping is now uniquely positioned to equip organisations with next-generation privileged access capabilities - protecting access to cloud infrastructure and securing the full spectrum of identities from a single, trusted platform." Through this development, Ping Identity aims to support organisations facing increased risks and complexity as they transition to cloud and hybrid infrastructure, a process that can introduce challenges in managing privileged credentials and user permissions. Acquisition enables expansion These new PAM capabilities are available through PingOne Privilege and are the result of Ping Identity's acquisition of Procyon, a startup focused on cloud-native security solutions for privileged access. Procyon was founded in 2021 by Sukhesh Halemane, Suman Sharma, and Mahantesh Pattanshetti. The firm's priority was to simplify secure privileged access to both cloud and on-premises infrastructure, building a product for modern DevOps teams with an emphasis on ease of deployment and maintenance. Procyon's approach focused on delivering productivity for security and development teams while raising standards for identity protection and mitigation of breach risks.

Ping Identity named leader in three 2025 KuppingerCole reports
Ping Identity has been recognised as a Leader in three 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass reports, including Access Management, Identity Fabrics, and Policy Based Access Management. Recognition in multiple categories The 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass reports assessed Ping Identity's capabilities in providing solutions for diverse enterprise identity needs. The reports highlighted the company's strengths in orchestration capabilities, its engagement with decentralised identity, and its support for both modern and legacy technology environments. The Ping Identity Platform was assessed for its ongoing platform convergence and expanding portfolio that serves business-to-business (B2B), business-to-employee (B2E), and business-to-consumer (B2C) use cases. The reports noted the company's support for a variety of authentication standards and its provision of out-of-the-box connectors that enable integration with third-party services. In its review, KuppingerCole acknowledged Ping Identity's dynamic internal fraud detection capabilities, which involve evaluating user behaviour, IP and device reputation, and location. This approach, according to the report, goes beyond using traditional lists of compromised credentials from external sources. "Enterprises seeking to enhance their identity security while simplifying the user experience within diverse operational environments will find Ping Identity's solutions particularly beneficial," said Alejandro Leal, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole. Innovation in identity fabrics KuppingerCole placed Ping Identity at the forefront of its innovation category in the Identity Fabrics report. The assessment was based on Ping Identity's active involvement in developing standards and its acquisitions in areas such as policy-based access controls, decentralised identity, and identity orchestration. "A standout feature of Ping Identity is its DaVinci orchestration capabilities, which offer unparalleled flexibility and control in configuring user journeys," said Martin Kuppinger, Founder and Principal Analyst of KuppingerCole research. "Ping Identity caters to large enterprises and organisations requiring secure identity management solutions across complex environments [and] proves valuable for those needing sophisticated identity solutions and orchestration capabilities." The report noted that these advancements position Ping Identity to meet the evolving security and operational requirements encountered by large organisations managing digital identities in varied and challenging settings. Policy based access management In the 2025 Policy Based Access Management report, Ping Identity's hybrid and on-premises offerings received particular mention for their suitability to large, regulated enterprises with data residency requirements. "Their hybrid and on-premises solutions are particularly suited for large and regulated enterprises that require on-site data residency," said Nitish Deshpande, Research Analyst at KuppingerCole. The report said that Ping Identity's solutions support the compliance needs of organisations operating under strict regulatory frameworks, ensuring data remains within specific jurisdictions as required by law or internal policy. Industry impacts The KuppingerCole reports collectively recognised Ping Identity's ability to support orchestration in access management, leverage developments in decentralised identity, and ensure compatibility with a variety of IT environments. The recognition across three separate leadership categories highlighted Ping Identity's engagement with industry trends and enterprise requirements for flexibility, scalability, and regulatory compliance. The ongoing acknowledgement by KuppingerCole emphasises Ping Identity's continued development in the field of enterprise identity management, positioning it as a provider supporting both established and emerging digital identity security needs.
