Ping Identity Corporation is a prominent cybersecurity company specializing in identity and access management (IAM) solutions, now privately held. The company provides software and services that enable secure authentication, single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and adaptive access control for enterprises. Its platform helps organizations manage user identities across cloud, mobile, and on-premises environments, supporting zero-trust security models and compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Ping Identity serves a diverse clientele, including over half of the Fortune 100 companies, and integrates with major cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to facilitate seamless identity orchestration in hybrid IT landscapes. Originally founded in 2002 as a pioneer in federated identity management, Ping has evolved to address modern threats like phishing, ransomware, and insider risks through AI-driven risk assessment and API security. The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014 under the ticker PING before being acquired by private equity firm Thoma Bravo in October 2019 for $2.8 billion, transitioning to a privately held entity. This acquisition has fueled investments in product innovation, including expansions into decentralized identity and workforce security. Headquartered in the Denver metropolitan area, the company maintains a global footprint with offices in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and other regions, employing over 1,300 people. Ping Identity has been recognized for its role in the cybersecurity ecosystem, earning accolades from Gartner and Forrester as a leader in IAM, and has pursued strategic partnerships to broaden its influence in digital transformation initiatives. While primarily focused on B2B enterprise solutions, Ping Identity has faced typical industry challenges, including competition from giants like Okta and SailPoint, and occasional scrutiny over data privacy practices in high-profile breaches affecting clients. The company's commitment to open standards like OAuth, SAML, and OpenID Connect underscores its emphasis on interoperability, positioning it as a key enabler of secure digital economies amid rising cyber threats.
