Date: 2024-05-08
Author: Versasec

In recent years, FIDO (Fast Identity Online) authentication has emerged as a powerful alternative to the broken password-based security measures. One key aspect of successful FIDO implementation is effective credential management and orchestration, which can be achieved through Versasec credential management’s robust integrations with leading Identity Providers (IdPs) like Ping Identity.
By integrating Versasec’s FIDO2 management solutions with Ping Identity, organizations can unlock a range of benefits that enhance security, streamline management, and improve user experience.
1. Comprehensive Credential Lifecycle Management
The integration enables organizations to centrally manage the lifecycle of FIDO authenticators with ease. This includes issuance, revocation, and replacement of FIDO credentials, providing administrators with full control and visibility over authentication tokens.
2. Enhanced Security and Compliance
The integration creates a defense against phishing attacks and unauthorized access attempts. The use of device-bound passkeys and a secure management platform increases the visibility of employees’ devices while enhancing security. At the same time, it ensures compliance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and others.
3. Simplified User Experience
By leveraging Versasec’s user-friendly interface and self-service capabilities along with its seamless FIDO credential management workflows and automation, organizations can offer a smooth and intuitive authentication experience to employees and admins. This not only boosts user productivity but also encourages widespread adoption of FIDO authentication across the enterprise.

Let’s walk through a quick demonstration of how the integration between Ping Identity and Versasec credential management works:
- Credential Issuance: Administrators use Versasec’s management platform to issue FIDO credentials to users securely.
- Secure Authentication: Users can now securely authenticate to Ping Identity-integrated applications and services using their FIDO tokens, enjoying passwordless and phishing-resistant authentication.
