Ping Identity Corporation is an American software company established in 2002 by Andre Durand and Bryan Field-Elliot. It is headquartered in Denver with development offices in Vancouver, Tel Aviv, Austin, Bristol, Grenoble, Boston and Edinburgh.[2] Ping also has European operations with offices in London, Paris, and Switzerland as well as offices in Bangalore, Melbourne, and Tokyo, serving Asia-pacific. It was a publicly traded company until getting acquired by Thoma Bravo and taken private in October 2022.
The company's software provides federated identity management and self-hosted identity access management to web identities via attribute based access controls,[3] similar to identity management system tools developed by Microsoft and Okta.[4] The Single Sign-On (SSO) option gives users a single set of credentials to access applications (web applications, apps on mobile devices, VPN, etc) that have company data. This is primarily done with identity providers such as Ping, Okta, and Microsoft Azure by leveraging open standards such as SAML and OAuth.
