Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer at Ping Identity

Ping Identity, a leading provider of seamless and secure digital experiences, has been named an Overall Leader in the 2024 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass report on Passwordless Authentication for Enterprises. The report explores workforce-focused passwordless authentication technologies and shares guidance on the most effective solutions, with Ping Identity positioned first in Overall, Product, and Innovation Leadership for its comprehensive approach.

The Ping Identity Platform was recognised for combining the strengths of ForgeRock and Ping Identity to offer a wide range of use cases and focuses, including access management, identity management, cloud- native identity governance, decentralised identity, and identity orchestration that integrates multi- factor authentication (MFA), passwords, and federated single sign-on (SSO) paths. The platform was celebrated for supporting various types of authenticators, such as authentication apps, hardware tokens, email/phone/SMS one-time passwords (OTP), and all flavors of FIDO, including passkeys.

“With the broad set of capabilities across the increasingly converged platform and the investment into innovation, Ping Identity is well-positioned as a supplier for the modern IT and digital identity landscape,” said Alejando Leal, Research Analyst at KuppingerCole. “Ping Identity’s cloud-ready software and SaaS solutions are highly scalable and offer maximum flexibility to customers in terms of support for standards as well as innovation for cutting-edge use cases.”

“It’s an honour to be recognised by KuppingerCole for our breadth and depth of protocol standards and support for legacy and modern access management use cases,” said Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer at Ping Identity. “We remain committed to delivering more robust capabilities and more choice to global enterprises to ensure that they can achieve a passwordless future however it best meets their needs.”
