About Ping Identity: 

At Ping Identity, we believe in making digital experiences both secure and seamless for all users, without compromise. We call this digital freedom.

Our intelligent, cloud identity platform lets people shop, work, bank, and interact wherever and however they want. Without friction. Without fear.
