Ping Identity

Ping customers that added passwordless, device-aware authentication to their environment report no phishing and session hijacking attacks and thousands of hours saved on password resets. Those that have migrated from PingFederate to PingOne also gave their users a consistent, single-device login experience that remained consistent throughout the migration.

Challenge

Today’s enterprise perimeter is defined by identity, yet that perimeter is increasingly fragile as workforces access sensitive cloud applications from a mix of managed and personal devices. While Ping Identity provides a robust intelligent identity platform, the reliance on traditional passwords and "second-device" MFA creates a critical security gap where credentials remain susceptible to account takeover and session hijacking.

Without a cryptographic bond between the user and the device, security teams struggle to maintain visibility into the actual integrity of the hardware requesting access. This lack of real-time context forces organizations to choose between high-friction security hurdles that frustrate employees or permissive access policies that expose the business to inappropriate access from unmanaged or compromised endpoints.

• Credential Vulnerability: Even with Ping Identity SSO, passwords and codes remain a primary source of risk, leaving the organization vulnerable to phishing and credential-based account takeovers.

• Device Visibility Gap: Ping can authenticate the user, but it cannot natively verify the full security posture, such as encryption status or endpoint security, of the specific device at the moment of login. This is especially true for unmanaged devices.

• Operational Friction: Relying on traditional MFA or digital certificate management creates significant overhead for IT help desks, while users face the constant "second-device" fatigue of picking up a phone or hardware token to log in.

Benefits

Eliminate Identity Risk

Unlike other “passwordless” solutions, Beyond Identity is the only provider that eliminates all shared secrets and cryptographically binds identity to each device at enrollment, rather than relying on synced credentials or fallback factors. The technical differentiator is that each identity is represented by a unique public/private key pair generated and stored in hardware-backed security (TPM or secure enclave), where the private key never leaves the device and cannot be exported. This ensures authentication is inherently phishing-resistant and immune to replay, credential theft, or man-in-the-middle attacks.

‍

Enforce Adaptive Device Trust

‍Beyond Identity captures full security posture data, including device type, encryption, and OS version, delivering it to Ping to enable granular, risk-based access decisions at the time of logon.

Secure Migration from Ping On-Prem to Cloud

Accelerate your transition to the cloud by using Beyond Identity to provide a consistent, passwordless authentication experience that keeps the user flow identical as you migrate from PingFederate to PingOne.

Seamless User Authentication

‍Provide a frictionless, single-device login experience across Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android, removing the need for users to manage passwords or interact with separate devices or hardware tokens.

Prevent Hiring Fraud and Account Recovery Attacks

Secure the entire identity lifecycle to ensure only authorized users on verified, secure devices can perform high-risk actions like initial enrollment and account recovery.

Per-Application Risk Controls

Dynamically adjust authentication requirements based on application sensitivity, allowing frictionless access for low-risk apps while automatically triggering step-up MFA or Ping-level challenges for critical resources like Github.

Verify with Immutable Auditing

‍Generate a signed, machine-verifiable record of every login transaction, providing security teams with an immutable audit trail of who accessed which application from what device.

Better Together

Customers that secure Ping with Beyond Identity reduce their account takeovers to zero and save hundreds to thousands of hours without IT password resets. This creates a true Zero Trust, identity-defined perimeter by cryptographically binding identity to the device.
