Bryan Rosensteel, most recently principal solutions architect at Ping Identity, said government agencies should adopt a modern identity, credential and access management system to achieve continuous authorization of users’ permissions, which he believes is at the core of zero trust.
“With authorization, agencies can determine whether known users have the right permissions to perform a specific action. It’s no longer a question whether they can get into an application but whether they can execute that API, go into that folder or access that URL,” Rosensteel wrote in an article published on Carahsoft.com.
He noted that UberEther’s IAM Advantage platform integrates technologies from Ping Identity.
In this article, the executive explained how Ping Identity’s technology offerings support scalable platforms like IAM Advantage when it comes to identity governance.
“Everything that is happening in the identity governance engine is stored in a directory where it can be read by Ping Identity. So, for example, when a user logs in, we can feed that authentication information to a privileged access management module so agencies can apply fine-grained access controls,” Rosensteel wrote.
He noted that Ping Identity, along with IAM Advantage, works to help agencies improve their ability to safeguard valuable data through the adoption of a modernized identity and access management infrastructure.
