PingOne for Individuals to improve personal control over privacy and streamline digital experiences for an increasingly digital and mobile world
COMPANY NEWS:   Ping Identity (NYSE: PING), the intelligent identity solution for the enterprise, announced PingOne for Individuals at Indentiverse 2021. The new personal identity solution empowers businesses to give their customers full control over how they securely store and share verified personal data without unnecessary friction. PingOne for Individuals enables enterprises to provide users superior digital experiences, protect customer privacy and reduce the burden of regulatory and compliance requirements by letting users manage their own personal data. Users can store and easily share their verified, always-up-to-date personal information with businesses or other individuals using a digital wallet on their mobile device. The process makes sharing employment history, transcripts, healthcare records, or other identity-related data simple. Verified data can be kept up to date in real time by data issuers, and sharing it is as simple as scanning a QR code. This makes anything from completing loan applications to verifying the identity of a first date, fast, safe and easy. “The world is overdue for a simpler way for people to share verified information about themselves with businesses and other individuals,'' said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. “PingOne for Individuals and the ShoCard wallet will ignite decentralised identity by allowing users to control their own data, alleviating businesses from ownership and ultimately delivering improved security and convenience on both ends.”
"The global pandemic illuminated an opportunity to raise the health and safety bar for our high-risk clients in the senior living communities we serve," said Craig Shealy, CEO of Wayforth. "ShoCard and PingOne for Individuals will make it easy for every person that visits the campuses we serve to provide proof of vaccination status and training certifications to keep our clients healthy." How it works
Official sources of personal identity data – credit bureaus, universities, pharmacies, etc. – can use the PingOne for Individuals solution to add verified credentials to a user’s ShoCard digital wallet by sharing a link or having them scan a QR code. When a different business or individual needs to confirm the identity or information about a person, they can request it by having the user scan a QR code on their website, in the ShoCard wallet on their phone, or even a printed piece of paper. Sensitive data is never outside of the person’s control since it is only stored in the digital wallet, which is protected by Hedera distributed ledger technology to ensure information is never modified or deleted. With PingOne for Individuals businesses can alleviate the technical, privacy and compliance challenges related to customer data because the individual’s data is not stored with the business, but on their mobile device. This approach lowers the risk of fraud by requesting verified information from users. It also streamlines the collection of verified data from individuals to ensure the user experience is seamless while letting organisations leverage the data they need to successfully conduct business. Consumers can download the free ShoCard wallet to their iOS and Android devices immediately via the app store. Enterprises can download the PingOne for Individuals SDK today to start issuing cards for consumers to add to their ShoCard wallet and access the self-service issuance dashboard starting in July 2021. Additionally, in July, Ping will be offering an early-access version of PingOne Credentials, a no-code credentialing service integrated into the PingOne service that allows issuers to create custom card templates and issue credentials to users.

Ping Identity is broadening its security capabilities with the acquisition of fraud and bot detection and mitigation firm SecuredTouch. While terms of the deal were not disclosed, SecuredTouch CEO Alasdair Rambaud says the acquisition is a ‘defining moment’ for the industry because it brings together fraud and identity security. Ping Identity will leverage SecuredTouch expertise in identity, risk and fraud through a combination of artificial intelligence, behavioural biometrics, deep learning, and machine learning. SecuredTouch uses these to provide bot detection and account takeover protection. Ping Identity founder and CEO Andre Durand says, “Identity isn’t just about knowing who customers are, it’s about knowing when someone is pretending to be a customer. As companies undergo massive digital transformation initiatives, the need for seamless, frictionless, and secure identity solutions to confidently understand both those situations is imperative.”
Durand believes that the SecuredTouch acquisition supports Ping Identity’s vision for cloud-based identity solutions that can protect against account takeovers, bots, and emulators. SecuredTouch cofounder and general manager Ran Shulkind says that Ping Identity is a ‘perfect fit’ for the company. “We look forward to joining forces to accelerate our mission of bringing the most advanced fraud detection solutions to companies across the globe.”
Ping Identity has also released a new personal identity solution to the market this week. The solution is designed for businesses that wish to give customers full control over how their personal data is shared and stored. PingOne for Individuals is designed to help users manage verified data such as history, transcripts, healthcare records, or other identity-related data. The solution acts as a delivery mechanism that adds verified credentials to a user’s ShoCard digital wallet. This can be done through a web link or QR code. When a different business or individual needs to confirm the identity or information about a person, they can request it by having the user scan a QR code on their website, in the ShoCard wallet on their phone, or a printed piece of paper. Data is only stored in the digital wallet. This wallet is protected by blockchain-based distributed ledger technologies. Durand explains, “The world is overdue for a simpler way for people to share verified information about themselves with businesses and other individuals.” 
Durand also believes it will help businesses with data ownership, ultimately improving security and convenience. Businesses are able to download the PingOne for Individuals SDK today. Consumers must download the ShoCard wallet to their devices. Related stories

Ping Identity acquires bot detection firm SecuredTouch

New solution, upgrades announced at Identiverse 2021
Jun 22, 2021
Ping Identity has acquired SecuredTouch  to add its behavioral biometrics and bot detection capabilities to provide more secure, seamless experiences for enterprise customers. SecuredTouch will be integrated within the PingOne Cloud Platform , giving enterprises access to advanced signals, data and intelligence that can utilize behavioral biometrics to gain a better understanding of fraudster behavior, along with step-up authentication to stop malicious activity, according to the announcement. SecuredTouch was founded in 2015, and has patented IP for continuous user authentication , as well as a presence in leading enterprise marketplaces from ForgeRock  and Nice Actimize . “Identity isn’t just about knowing who customers are, it’s about knowing when someone is pretending to be a customer. As companies undergo massive digital transformation initiatives, the need for seamless, frictionless, and secure identity solutions to confidently understand both those situations is imperative,” states Andre Durand, founder and CEO of Ping Identity. “The acquisition of SecuredTouch accelerates our vision for cloud delivered intelligent identity solutions that combat malicious behavior such as bots, emulators, and account takeover.”
“This is a defining moment for our industry as identity security and fraud come together,” comments Alasdair Rambaud, CEO of SecuredTouch. “Ping Identity’s enterprise proven and robust platform provides the perfect foundation for SecuredTouch’s advanced fraud detection capabilities.”
New solutions and capabilities
At its Identiverse 2021 event, Ping has also announced the launch of consumer reusable credential solution PingOne for Individuals, as well as enhancements for its dynamic authorization solution PingAuthorize and the PingOne Cloud Platform. PingOne for Individuals is intended to allow businesses to provide their customers with full control over the secure storage and low-friction sharing of verified personal data. The verified data is stored in a digital wallet on the user’s mobile device, and can store employment history, transcripts, healthcare records, and other identity-related data. The data can be updated in real time, and shared through QR code-scanning. Ping added digital wallet capabilities with the acquisition of decentralized, self-sovereign identity specialist Shocard , which uses mobile device biometrics for secure management of data-sharing, in late-2020. The company suggests a broad range of uses for PingOne for Individuals, from completing loan applications to verifying the identity of a first date. “The world is overdue for a simpler way for people to share verified information about themselves with businesses and other individuals,” says Durand. “PingOne for Individuals and the ShoCard wallet will ignite decentralized identity by allowing users to control their own data, alleviating businesses from ownership and ultimately delivering improved security and convenience on both ends.”
The PingOne Cloud Platform now provides unified management of all Ping Identity products and services, according to a separate announcement, including PingOne for Customers and PingOne for Workforce. PingDataGovernance has been recast as PingAuthorize, based on the integration of Symphonic last November. The solution enables enterprises to centralize authorization for fraud mitigation, compliance with privacy regulations, and increased agility, the company says. Ping further says the move makes the PingOne Cloud Platform the first identity platform with a robust and dynamic authorization solution, based on understanding the context of transactions. Silverfort partnership unveiled
Silverfort  has integrated its platform with PingFederate to enable organizations to apply consistent risk-based monitoring and assessment of authentications in on-premise and cloud environments for proactive threat prevention. The companies say the combined solution allows the extension of identity-based controls to previously unprotected on-premise resources, like servers, workstations, and homegrown legacy apps. Silverfort’s technology analyzes behavior to detect risk, and applies consistent policies across the customer’s entire environment. “The Silverfort and Ping Identity integration enables customers to implement zero trust identity security while providing seamless authentication experiences for users,” says Loren Russon, VP of product management at Ping Identity. “Whether applications are in the cloud, on-premises, federated or hybrid, Ping Identity and Silverfort make it possible to see the true context of authentication with AI-based risk analysis and apply adaptive access policies that defend against identity related security threats.”
