Securing access to enterprise systems requires more than just verifying credentials. To truly protect sensitive resources, organizations need authentication processes that consider both user identity and device compliance. The new integration of PingFederate with My OPSWAT Central Management delivers exactly that: layered access control through strong MFA (multi-factor authentication) and real-time device posture assessments.
Why Integrate PingFederate and My OPSWAT Central Management?
PingFederate, developed by Ping Identity, is an enterprise-grade federation server that provides SSO (single sign-on), identity brokering, and support for industry-standard identity protocols like SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. It simplifies identity federation across cloud, mobile, and on-premises environments.
By integrating PingFederate with My OPSWAT Central Management, organizations can add an additional layer of security: device compliance checks that ensure only trusted endpoints are granted access. This aligns with OPSWAT's security philosophy: "Trust no file, trust no device."
Key Benefits of the Integration
1. Granular, Policy-Based Access Controls
The integration enables organizations to define access policies that go beyond identity verification. Access can be conditioned on both user credentials and the security posture of the endpoint, providing a robust defense against unauthorized access.
2. Real-Time Device Posture Assessment
My OPSWAT Central Management evaluates device compliance at the time of authentication. It checks for anti-malware status, OS patch levels, vulnerability exposure, and more, blocking access from endpoints that don't meet policy requirements.
3. Streamlined User Experience
Users benefit from a unified login experience and the ability to self-remediate security risks based on OPSWAT remediation instructions. The integration allows for centralized access without compromising security, reduces credential fatigue, and minimizes disruptions, while also lowering the operational team's workload by enabling faster, user-driven issue resolution.
4. Support for Compliance and Zero Trust
Combining identity federation with endpoint compliance helps meet regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR. The integration supports a zero-trust model by continuously verifying both user identity and device trustworthiness before granting access.
A Scalable and Secure Authentication Architecture
As organizations scale and security requirements evolve, having a flexible and comprehensive authentication solution becomes essential. The PingFederate and My OPSWAT Central Management integration supports this need by enabling secure, policy-driven access control across environments.
