Ping Identity form alliance to add identity to security

ProofID partner, Ping Identity, has announced a partnership with a number of other service providers to develop the Identity Defined Security Alliance – a unified approach to offer enterprises and identity-focussed security system.

The Identity Defined Security Alliance’s platform has been developed to offer a selection of features including multi-factor authentication, single sign-in, mobile management, cloud access, potential threat analytics and endpoint security management.

Ping Identity’s founder and CEO, Andre Durand, unveiled the Identity Defined Security Alliance as part of his keynote speech during Identify 2015 – a leading convention for IT leaders, security experts and enterprise architects looking to implement a secure but flexible online access system.

Durand explained: “The proliferation of cloud, mobile and Internet of Things has made navigating an already confusing landscape of security solutions even more challenging for CISOs. There is no silver bullet solution to the complex challenges that today’s modern enterprises face, so we created this alliance to help companies select technology solution partners that share a common vision for a new approach to security that ensures trusted users seamless, secure access to what they need to get their job done.”

One of the service providers working with Ping Identity is cloud security broker, Netskope, who were determined to find a more secure cloud access system. Netskope co-founder and CEO, Sanjay Beri, expanded:
