Ping Identity announced its new Just-in-time Privileged Access capabilities within the Ping Identity Platform, offering comprehensive capabilities across all three categories of identity: Access Management (AM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM). Using centralized identity controls in a single platform, this trifecta empowers customers with a more comprehensive suite of solutions to protect and manage their digital environments. These PAM capabilities enable more secure control over exploding cloud permissions by utilizing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to protect privileged sessions at the device-level, which can be both agentless and agent-based, depending on customer needs. With Ping’s privileged access offerings, customers benefit from: JIT Privileged Access: End-users can securely request and obtain time-bound access to cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure), as well as cloud or on-premises servers, databases, Kubernetes and other critical resources in a user-friendly portal, adhering to zero trust best practices. Passwordless Access: Authentication to all the resources (e.g. Server SSH, RDP, IAM) is handled in a passwordless manner, eliminating the need for static credentials (e.g. SSH Keys, RDP password). Ensured Compliance: Session recordings and audit logs for privileged access support compliance with regulations such as SOX, SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. Hybrid Infrastructure Support: JIT granular access to entitlements, roles and resources in AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes with context-aware policies and real time authorization.
