Ping Identity adds AI agent support to flagship platform

Identity security company Ping Identity has extended its Ping Identity Platform to include support for AI agents and other aspects of the agentic enterprise.

The recently introduced capabilities include headless interfaces and skills designed to make identity programmable through the open-source Model Context Protocol standard, as well as command line interfaces and APIs.

Ping is also introducing agent-ready skills that help AI agents understand and perform common identity tasks such as configuring access and applying governance controls within approved policies and guardrails.

Meanwhile, Ping has introduced discovery and governance capabilities aimed at providing customers with visibility into which agents exist, what they can access, how they operate and who is accountable for their actions. Each agent can be configured to be tied to a human owner, governed by policy and auditable across both development and runtime environments.

Finally, Ping Identity has introduced capabilities for enabling privileged access for desktop agents without weakening enterprise control or exposing sensitive data to the agents themselves. Agents are provided the access they need to complete work, with enterprises retaining control over how access is granted, governed, attributed and audited.

Ping Identity founder and CEO Andre Durand said AI agents are changing the way enterprise systems operate.

“As enterprises make applications consumable by AI agents, Ping is making identity programmable, agents visible and governable, and resource access trustworthy. Identity is evolving from authentication infrastructure into operational governance infrastructure for the agentic enterprise,” he said.
