## How It Works
PingOne Privilege shifts privileged access from “admin time” to runtime enforcement.
Instead of issuing long-lived credentials or relying on vault checkout, it grants ephemeral, task-scoped access that’s created on demand and automatically revoked at session end. Privileged access is granted only when needed. No permanent admin accounts. No standing roles.
Each privileged session is cryptographically bound to both a verified identity and a trusted physical device using TPM-backed hardware assurance. Combined with policy-based approvals, session recording, and continuous audit trails, you gain granular control and visibility without introducing workflow friction.
With PingOne
Privilege, You Can:
Eliminate static credentials for 95% of human access by removing passwords and long-lived SSH keys while integrating vaults only for narrow break-glass scenarios.
Enforce Zero Standing Privilege that replaces persistent admin roles with time-bound, policy-driven access aligned to specific tasks and automatically revoked at completion..
Secure privileged sessions with TPM Assurance to cryptographically bind sessions to trusted hardware to prevent credential replay and unauthorized endpoint access.
Standardize multi-cloud and hybrid privilege control to apply consistent, centralized policy enforcement across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, databases, and on-prem systems.
## Part of the Ping Identity Platform
Privileged access shouldn’t be a siloed vault bolted onto your stack. PingOne Privilege operates as part of the broader Ping Identity Platform, integrating identity verification, authentication, authorization, governance, risk signals, and orchestration into a unified control plane. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Identity-native privileged access, not vault-centric add-ons
- Hardware-bound runtime enforcement with TPM assurance
- Unified governance and contextual risk evaluation
- Proven enterprise scale across global deployments
## Privileged Access, Trusted at the Hardware Level
PingOne Privilege anchors privileged access in hardware-rooted trust using Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology.
Instead of relying on credentials stored in file systems or tokens that can be replayed, private keys remain protected inside tamper-resistant TPM hardware. Even in the event of stolen files, OS compromise, or device theft, cryptographic operations can only be performed by the original trusted device. Built-in hardware assurance provides:
- Cryptographic user-to-device binding at runtime
- Protection of private keys within ISO-standardized TPM hardware
- Resistance to credential replay from unmanaged or compromised endpoints
- Continuous validation of trusted device posture during active sessions
### Achieve Zero Standing Privileges
Eliminate persistent elevated access and drastically reduce attack surface by ensuring privilege is ephemeral, task-scoped, and automatically revoked. Least privilege becomes enforceable in real time.
### Enforce Runtime Control, Not Just Login Control
Move beyond credential rotation and vault checkout. Enforce privilege during the session with continuous validation of identity, device, and policy conditions.
### Reduce Credential Sprawl and Operational Risk
Eliminate reusable secrets for the majority of human access use cases while simplifying multi-cloud privilege governance through centralized policy enforcement.
### Strengthen Hardware-Bound Security
Bind identity to trusted hardware using TPM-backed assurance so compromised credentials can’t be replayed from unmanaged endpoints.
### Stay Audit-Ready with Continuous Visibility
Maintain tamper-resistant logs, full session recordings, and policy-aligned reporting that’s mapped to CIS, HIPAA, ISO, SOC 2, and PCI DSS frameworks.
## Enable Just-in-Time Privileged Access Across Your Ecosystem
Put your admins and developers in control with ephemeral, Zero Standing Privilege that’s secure, auditable, and built for agile operations.
## Frequently Asked Questions
### How is PingOne Privilege different from traditional PAM solutions?
Traditional PAM tools focus on vaulting and rotating static credentials. PingOne Privilege enforces credential-less, runtime privileged access with Zero Standing Privilege and TPM-backed hardware assurance, shifting control from login to session-level enforcement.
### What is the 95/5 model in privileged access?
Approximately 95% of human privileged access use cases do not require static credentials. PingOne Privilege eliminates those credentials and reserves vault integration only for limited bootstrap or break-glass scenarios.
### How does TPM improve privileged access security?
TPM stores cryptographic keys inside tamper-resistant hardware and binds privileged sessions to trusted devices. Even if credentials are compromised, they can’t be replayed from unauthorized endpoints.
### What deployment options are available?
PingOne Privilege supports both agent-based and agentless models. Agent-based deployments provide deep session control for SSH, RDP, and databases, while agentless access enables seamless cloud console and CLI connectivity.
### How does PingOne Privilege support compliance and governance?
It centralizes policy management, continuously evaluates privilege usage, detects over-privileged roles, and generates audit-ready logs aligned with major regulatory frameworks.
