Ping Identity

### Product Name

Ping Identity

API Access Management allows organizations to secure and manage access to their APIs seamlessly. This feature provides a centralized way to enforce security policies, authenticate users, and monitor API usage. By using OAuth and OpenID Connect protocols, it ensures that only authorized users and applications can interact with your APIs. This addresses the challenge of API security and helps prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance issues.

#### Passwordless Login

Passwordless Login enhances user experience by allowing users to authenticate without traditional passwords. Instead, it leverages methods such as biometrics or one-time codes sent via email or SMS. This feature significantly reduces the risk of phishing attacks and password-related vulnerabilities, while also streamlining the login process for users. By eliminating passwords, organizations can improve security posture and reduce helpdesk costs associated with password resets.

#### Social Sign On

Social Sign On enables users to log in to applications using their existing social media accounts, such as Facebook or Google. This feature simplifies the registration and login processes, making it easier for users to access services without creating new credentials. It addresses the problem of user friction during onboarding, thereby increasing conversion rates and enhancing user satisfaction.

#### Single Sign-On (SSO)

Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications without needing to log in separately for each one. This feature streamlines user experience by reducing the number of login prompts, which can lead to increased productivity. SSO mitigates the risk of password fatigue and improves security by centralizing authentication, making it easier for organizations to manage access across various platforms.

#### User Activity Monitoring

User Activity Monitoring provides insights into user behavior within applications by tracking login attempts, session durations, and actions taken. This feature helps organizations identify unusual patterns or potential security threats in real-time. By analyzing user activity data, businesses can enhance their security measures, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and optimize user experiences based on actual usage patterns.

#### Role Management

Role Management simplifies the administration of user permissions by allowing organizations to create specific roles with predefined access rights. This feature ensures that employees have the appropriate level of access based on their job responsibilities while minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information. It addresses the challenge of managing complex permission structures and helps maintain compliance with industry regulations.

#### Multi-factor Authentication

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two or more verification methods before accessing accounts. This could include something they know (password), something they have (a smartphone), or something they are (biometric data). MFA significantly reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access due to compromised credentials and strengthens overall security frameworks against modern cyber threats.

#### Password Management

Password Management helps users securely store and manage their passwords across different platforms and applications. With features like password generation, storage encryption, and automatic updates, this tool minimizes the risks associated with weak or reused passwords. It addresses challenges related to password fatigue and enhances organizational security by promoting strong password practices among users.

#### Account Management

Account Management enables administrators to efficiently oversee user accounts throughout their lifecycle, from creation to deactivation. This feature includes functionalities like bulk provisioning, de-provisioning, and updates based on role changes. By centralizing account management processes, organizations can streamline operations, enhance security controls, and ensure compliance with internal policies and regulations.

#### Access Request Management

Access Request Management simplifies the process for users to request access to specific resources or applications within an organization. This feature allows for a structured approval workflow that includes notifications for managers or administrators when requests are made. By providing a clear process for access requests, it addresses potential bottlenecks in resource allocation while maintaining security oversight.

#### Compliance Management

Compliance Management assists organizations in adhering to various regulatory standards by automating compliance reporting and monitoring activities. This feature provides tools for auditing user access, tracking policy enforcement, and generating reports necessary for compliance verification. By addressing compliance challenges proactively, businesses can mitigate risks related to regulatory fines while enhancing their overall governance frameworks.
