Automation for Ping Identity
The Ping Identity suite provides advanced authentication solutions for organizations, but it struggles with efficiently monitoring and automating X.509 digital certificates, which those authentication solutions depend upon. This gap leads to predominantly manual management of machine identities, causing application access issues, outages, and unnecessary widening of the attack surface. Notably, multiple recent high-profile breaches have demonstrated the risks of compromised machine identities, which can grant unauthorized access to a broad range of enterprise applications.
To address these challenges, the Certificate Manager offers an industry-leading solution for large-scale and flexible management of X.509 certificates and other machine identities. This integration with Ping Identity automates the entire lifecycle of machine identities, from initial discovery and generation to installation and retirement. This not only streamlines the management of machine identities within the Ping Identity platform but also enhances its security and scalability as new components are integrated.
Applicability
Any organization that relies on Ping Identity Platform without a fully automated way of managing and securing the X509 keys and certificates that underpinning the infrastructure should consider this integration along with Certificate Manager for organization-wide machine identity management.
Given the critical nature of exchanged information with the Ping Identity suite of products (usernames/passwords, B2B, B2C authentication, etc.), it is imperative to ensure protective mechanisms (keys and certificates) are managed and maintained according to best practices.
