Why have 40 of the Fortune 100 turned to Ping Identity to implement their Internet Identity Security strategies? Because only Ping has the products, services and expertise needed to support the wide variety of Internet SSO use cases being implemented in the enterprise.

The trend in enterprise computing over the past few years has been SaaS and Cloud computing. As larger organizations have moved more of their employees onto Cloud-based applications, employee-to-SaaS SSO has become a leading driver for Internet SSO.  By implementing Internet SSO, these organizations are ensuring that their SaaS applications are just as easy to use, secure and as cost-effective to manage as their previous generation of in-house applications.

With PingFederate, enterprises can provide Internet SSO capabilities to customers, partners, external online services and more.

Whether choosing PingFederate or PingConnect, enterprises benefit from Pingʼs extensive expertise in federated identity, strong partnerships with SaaS providers and Cloud system integrators, and deep functionality including Automated Internet User Account Management and support for additional SaaS access points such as mobile devices.

In addition to employee-to-SaaS SSO, enterprises are also deploying PingFederate for several additional use cases:

• Enterprises with customer-facing online applications are using PingFederate to SSO-enable their products for their customers.
• In addition, some of these companies have gone the extra step of using PingFederate Internet SSO or Universal Token Translation to give their customers seamless access to third party services 
• Enterprises with large supply chains are using PingFederate two ways to support their partner initiatives. First, they are giving their suppliers, dealers and joint venture partners SSO access to purpose-built partner portals. Second, they are using PingFederate to give their employees SSO access to their major partnersʼ systems 
• Larger enterprises with multiple security domains behind their corporate firewall have discovered that Internet SSO via federated identity is a much more cost-effective way to give employees access to the applications they need than migrating the entire organization into a single security domain. This is also an instance where the PingFederate Security Token Service and its ability to perform Universal Token Translation can play a key role in integrating otherwise incompatible security architectures. 
• Finally, enterprises with consumer-facing business applications are now exploring direct-to-consumer SSO initiatives that leverage some of the newer "user-centric" identity management technologies such as OpenID.
