Ping Identity has introduced its Just-in-time Privileged Access capabilities within the Ping Identity Platform, aiming to address the growing complexity of cloud permissions as enterprises adopt multi-cloud strategies. This new feature integrates Access Management, Identity Governance and Administration, and Privileged Access Management into a single platform, providing a comprehensive solution for managing digital environments.
Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer at Ping Identity, highlighted the limitations of traditional vault-based solutions, stating, “With the addition of PAM capabilities, we’re empowering organisations to adopt just-in-time privileged access and solve a broader set of identity and security challenges – all within a unified platform.”
The new capabilities allow end-users to request time-bound access to various cloud environments and critical resources, adhering to zero trust best practices. Additionally, the platform supports passwordless access, ensuring compliance with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA through session recordings and audit logs. It also offers hybrid infrastructure support with context-aware policies and real-time authorisation.
Ping Identity’s CEO, Andre Durand, noted the significance of this development, stating, “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.”
These advancements are facilitated by Ping Identity’s acquisition of Procyon, a cloud-native start-up, which was founded to enhance privileged access security for both cloud and on-premises infrastructure. The new capabilities will be available through PingOne Privilege, further strengthening Ping Identity’s position in the digital identity security market.
