Ping Identity is an Identity and Access Management software corporation that has helped in the development of the open standards for identity federation and IAM. Ping Identity has co-organized IAM industry conferences considered preeminent since 2002 [2], and was among the first organizations to demonstrate interoperability using SAML 2.0 [3], OpenID Connect [4], SCIM [5], Liberty [6], and with Connect.gov [7] .
Founded in 2002 by Andre Durand, Ping Identity’s software uses open standards and principles of federated identity, to enable organizations to provide users with single sign-on (SSO), such as for employees at work, for customers accessing online services, or for commercial partners sharing resources across the Internet. The company’s solutions extend across cloud, mobile, social and enterprise environments. [8]
Ping Identity has contributed to the authoring of the open standards related to identity federation and Identity and Access Management, including SAML [9] [10], OAuth [11], SCIM [12], OpenID Connect [13], NAPPS [14], OpenID Account Chooser [15], OpenID [13], WS-Trust [16], and OpenToken [17].
Ping Identity has over 1,400 global customers, including half of Fortune 100 companies [18], in banking, healthcare, finance, insurance, manufacturing, education, entertainment [19]. With headquarters in Denver, CO, Ping Identity has satellite offices in London, Waltham, MA, San Francisco, CA, Vancouver British Columbia, and distribution channels throughout the world. Ping is considered well poised and well funded to play a role in the future of IAM [20].
Ping Identity is funded by its own revenue and private investors, backed by W Capital Partners, DFJ Growth, General Catalyst Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Volition Capital, Triangle Peak Partners, SAP Ventures, and Appian Ventures. [21]
Ping Identity has been a member of OASIS, and participated in early adoption of OASIS-sponsored standards. [25]
Ping Identity's John Bradley is co-chair of the IDESG Standards Committee [26]. The Identity Ecosystem Steering Group (“IDESG”), is the steering group for The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) formed by President Obama in 2011. [27]
Ping Identity employees are active contributors to The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) on open standard topics such as OAuth, OpenID, SCIM and JWT/JOSE. [23]
Ping Identity was an early member of Liberty Alliance, and among the earliest companies certified to have achieved interoperability, conforming to the Liberty open standard. Ping Identity's membership continued after this group became the Kantara Initiative, and to present. [28] [29]
The company has 340 employees worldwide.
The Liberty Alliance Project, a group developing open standards for federated network identity and identity-based web services, today announced products and services from nine companies have successfully passed the first Liberty-sponsored conformance test.
