Ping Identity has announced PingOne, which it calls a cloud-based multiplexed identity switch that provides single single-on (SSO) access to cloud applications. It uses standards-based, federated SSO protocols such as Security Assertion Markup Language, OAuth, and OpenID. In addition to providing SSO for users, the product also gives IT staff the ability to manage access to cloud applications in a central user directory, such as Microsoft’s Active Directory, which means there needs to be only one set of employee credentials with the required security.
