Market Position

A recognized leader in enterprise identity and access management, serving a large share of Fortune 100 companies with hybrid-flexible IAM solutions, now operating under Thales Group ownership.

Overview

Ping Identity is a leading enterprise identity security platform that provides organizations with intelligent solutions for managing and securing digital identities across workforce and customer environments. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the company offers a comprehensive suite of identity and access management (IAM) tools including single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), access management, directory services, and API security. Ping Identity serves thousands of enterprise customers globally, including a significant portion of the Fortune 100, helping them balance security with seamless user experiences. The company has long been recognized as a leader in the identity and access management space, competing with players such as Okta, Microsoft Azure AD, and ForgeRock. Ping Identity distinguished itself through its hybrid deployment flexibility — supporting cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments — making it particularly attractive to large enterprises with complex legacy infrastructure. Its PingOne cloud platform and PingFederate federation server became industry-standard tools for enterprise identity federation and SSO. In August 2022, Ping Identity was taken private by Thoma Bravo in a deal valued at approximately $2.8 billion. Subsequently, in August 2023, Thales Group — a French defense and technology conglomerate — announced the acquisition of Ping Identity from Thoma Bravo for approximately $2.3 billion. Ping Identity continues to operate as a distinct brand and business unit within Thales, contributing to Thales's cybersecurity portfolio alongside its existing identity and data security offerings. The Ping Identity brand and product suite remain active and continue to serve enterprise customers worldwide.
