Ping Identity and OPSWAT Revolutionize Access Security with DaVinci and MetaDefender Access
Leveraging the Power of Zero-Trust: Elevating Authentication and Device Compliance Workflows
Share this Post
About Ping Identity: Ping Identity is a leading provider of identity and access management solutions, including SSO, MFA, IAM, and API security, helping organizations improve security and streamline user access to their systems and applications.
What's the story? Ping Identity has partnered with OPSWAT to enhance the security of user identities and authentication by extending the scope to include compliant devices. Validating a user's claimed identity before granting access to organizational resources is paramount. However, even with a confirmed identity, there is a risk of introducing malicious code into an organization's systems if the user's device is compromised unbeknownst to them.
Integrating MetaDefender IT-OT Access with PingOne DaVinci streamlines authentication and access management by verifying device security and compliance before granting resource access. Learn how tight-knit integration between identities and compliant devices aligns with Zero Trust best practices and supports broader business objectives like bring your own device (BYOD) adoption.
Ensuring secure access to sensitive assets is paramount for any organization, but coordinating authentication and device compliance across various applications and endpoints can be a costly and intricate task. Organizations are recognizing the significance of safeguarding not only user identities but also ensuring the integrity of the devices connecting to their systems.
In response to this challenge, Ping Identity and OPSWAT have partnered to offer a powerful zero-trust solution that ensures only authorized users, utilizing compliant devices, are granted access to organizational resources.
The innovative integration of Ping Identity's DaVinci and OPSWAT's MetaDefender Access not only streamlines identification and device compliance but also unlocks the full potential of zero-trust security.
The partnership with OPSWAT really uses the MetaDefender Access capability to deliver a connector into the PingOne DaVinci orchestration tool to enable deep compliance checks and security capabilities to be integrated into the flows for your users.

This integrated solution empowers organizations to create custom access workflows for conditional authentication, ensuring strict adherence to enterprise policies. This comprehensive secure access solution covers device compliance, vulnerability detection, patch management, and endpoint protection. For example, DaVinci can orchestrate a no-code, straightforward visual workflow that asks MetaDefender Access to check whether the user’s device has the latest anti-malware versions, has no identified vulnerabilities, and enforce remediation before granting user access to Salesforce from that specific device.
OPSWAT also isn't out of the game once you've finished authentication, it's also protecting the applications that those devices get into and it's very key to us, very important.

The Power of Partnership
When considering who could provide a modern, lightweight solution for device trust, OPSWAT emerged as a natural choice for Ping. Loren Russon SVP Product/Technology at Ping Identity mentioned that OPSWAT’s approach to device trust was both innovative and effective.
So the combination of orchestration from PingOne DaVinci plus the zero-trust security features from OPSWAT really gives that magic combination of frictionless experiences and awesome security together to get the job done.

The Future of Identity and Device Trust
Looking ahead, Russon said that the vision for identity and device trust involves treating identity and device as equal citizens. The lines between identities and devices are blurring, and this integration aims to bring them under a single control plane.
He also mentions that from his perspective as the industry continues to evolve, a growing trend towards bring your own device (BYOD) is expected. The modern approach to device management, exemplified by OPSWAT, is redefining how organizations secure their systems, even in BYOD scenarios.
Unifying Identity and Device Trust for Robust Network Security
The integration of identity and device trust is not just a technological evolution but a fundamental shift in how we approach security. It's about understanding that the security of devices is as critical as securing user identities. By treating them as equal citizens, organizations can create a secure, seamless, and user-friendly environment that meets the challenges of today's dynamic threat landscape. The future of identity and device trust looks promising, as we adapt to a changing world where identities and devices converge for a more secure digital experience.
