Grazed from Ping Identity. Author: PR Announcement.
Ping Identity, the cloud identity security leader, today unveiled PingOne, the world’s first multiplexed identity switch in the Cloud. One connection to PingOne provides businesses the convenience of tier 1 Single Sign-On (SSO) access to all of their cloud applications and gives IT one place to centralise control and automate identity management. One connection to PingOne equips cloud application providers to offer tier 1 SSO to all of their customers. For security conscious businesses, tier 1 requires exclusively standards-based, federated SSO protocols such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID with zero tolerance for storing passwords or managing duplicate end-user accounts in the cloud.
PingOne is the only on-demand cloud identity management service to equip application providers as well as end users with complete tier 1 SSO and multiplexed (one-to-many) capabilities. With one connection, PingOne allows IT to securely manage access to all cloud applications in a central user directory, such as Microsoft Active Directory. This eliminates all but one secure set of employee credentials. Similarly, application providers can use one simple REST API process to enable secure, standards-based SSO in less than 30 minutes.
"Enterprises asked us for a better way to connect their workforce to the cloud," said Andre Durand, CEO of Ping Identity. "PingOne is the answer. It can be set up in hours and is completely self-service. The service doesn’t replicate Active Directory and it doesn’t store passwords. It’s 100 percent based on open standards, which is the most secure way to do identity in the cloud."
