ThreatMetrix Announces Integration With Ping Identity to Deliver Context-Based Authentication for Enterprises
PR Web |
ThreatMetrix®, the fastest-growing provider of context-based security and advanced fraud prevention solutions, today announced its integration with the Ping Identity PingFederate® identity bridge, providing contextual employee authentication for enterprises.
Corporate network perimeters have virtually disappeared due to the evolution of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and cloud-based applications that provide workforce, partner and contractor access. As a result, enterprises must identify new approaches for securing access to corporate applications and digital assets.
"Until now, enterprises had to choose between maintaining high levels of access security and improving employee access and open BYOD polices – or they have already made the shift and are relying on weak, single-factor authentication," said
The new era of cybersecurity is all about enabling unfettered, yet protected, access to consumer services, business revenues, and productivity assets in a world where it should be assumed that traditional security protections are compromised. The combined solution between ThreatMetrix and Ping Identity delivers transparent and secure access for online and mobile users. Together, these solutions stop cybercriminals at the front door and provide legitimate users full access to all permissible resources in a managed and monitored fashion.
This integration works in three distinct steps:
• At the point of sign-on, ThreatMetrix – in real time – analyzes the connecting device, associated online personas, transaction context and past behavior
• This resulting analysis is used by a global policy engine that lets businesses define appropriate risk and trust levels to determine access
• Based on achieving a predefined level of trust, users are granted access through Ping Identity's PingFederate product to all their associated applications and online resources "Ping Identity is pleased to see ThreatMetrix's support for integrations that help its customers overcome the visibility and security challenges that have been introduced with BYOD," said
• Context-based authentication
• Remote workforce access
• Single sign-on
