Ping Identity and Cyberark have partnered to provide Single Sign-on and privilege access management to manage Enterprise critical assets such as password management and secrets.
In today’s digital world, cybersecurity is more important than ever. We’re constantly seeing headlines where organizations have reported hackers accessing the password directories and gaining access to critical customer data.
With the rise of cyber threats, organizations need to take proactive steps to protect their critical assets, such as passwords and secrets. However, managing privileged accounts and access to enterprise resources can be a significant challenge.
In this kind of scenario, organizations often feel the impact from the regulatory bodies and fines that are levied on the attacked organization in the form of fine payment and in some cases, suspension. These kinds of headlines also bring with them costly and long-lasting reputational damage.
The Solution
That’s where Cyberark and Ping Identity come in. By partnering to provide Single Sign-on and privilege access management, they offer a comprehensive solution to enhance security, reduce the risk of cyberattacks, and mitigate the consequences of a breach.
This Privileged Account Management tool has the capabilities of integrating Ping Identity’s single sign on (SSO) and Multifactor Authentication (MFA) to enhance privileged and password misuse scenarios. This greatly reduces the chances of compromising an account through a password alone:
- Integrating SSO with Cyberark enables privileged users to authenticate into a single application and access other applications in the same trusted environment.
- Adding Ping MFA to the Cyberark login enables a privileged user to have a combination of something they know and something they have or someone they claim to be in the form of a biometric feature.
When a threat actor compromises a privileged account, they often create many more privileged accounts and proceed by gaining great access and knowledge about the targeted compromised system. The outcome is for the attacker to modify or even delete audit logs to stay unnoticed or detected.
The advantages of utilizing Cyberark + Ping Identity helps mitigate common password attacks like:
- Man in the Middle attack
- Credential Surfing attack
- Dictionary attack
- Phishing attack
- Brute Force attack
- Rainbow Table attack
Cyberark protects the keys to the kingdom for the enterprise and adding Ping Identity strengthens that security. Adding Ping Identity to the Cyberark login increases the security by leveraging an enterprise SSO platform. By adding Multifactor Authentication to the authentication chain, you can further enhance security and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations of all sizes. With the Cyberark and Ping Identity solution, you can protect your enterprise from common password attacks such as phishing, brute force, and dictionary attacks.
This integration is just another one of the ways that IDMWORKS can help integrate multiple IAM technologies and help increase security, provide a better user experience, and increase the value of your IAM investment.
