Ping Identity announced new capabilities that extend the Ping Identity Platform for the agentic enterprise, where AI agents, automation, and developers increasingly shape how access is managed, governed, and secured across organizations.
AI agents are changing both sides of the identity equation. They are new actors that need to be discovered, governed, and managed across their lifecycle, and they are also new operators that can help builders administer and secure identity environments through machine-native interfaces.
At the same time, desktop agents and AI assistants are beginning to interact with enterprise applications and resources on behalf of users, creating a new access challenge: agents need trusted access to do useful work, but should not be given direct exposure to the secrets that make that access possible.
Ping is addressing these shifts with a unified set of capabilities across the Ping Identity Platform:
These capabilities help enterprises support AI-driven operations without creating a parallel identity stack, preserving governance and control across human, non-human, and AI-agent access.
“AI agents are fundamentally changing how enterprise systems operate,” said Andre Durand, CEO of Ping Identity. “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.”
Enterprise identity is moving beyond human-only administration through graphical consoles. As teams adopt AI agents, code assistants, and machine-driven workflows, identity needs to become easier to configure, automate, and govern through machine-friendly interfaces.
The Ping Identity Platform extends enterprise identity through AI-first headless interfaces that allow builders and agents to work with identity programmatically, including through CLI and MCP. Ping is also introducing agent-ready skills that help AI agents understand and perform common identity tasks, including configuring access, troubleshooting flows, and applying governance controls within approved policies and guardrails.
Together, these interfaces and skills help teams configure, secure, and govern access more efficiently while continuing to apply centralized policies, approvals, and controls across the identity environment.
As enterprises deploy AI agents across environments, they need visibility into which agents exist, what they can access, how they operate, and who is accountable for their actions.
Ping’s new discovery and governance capabilities help organizations manage agents across their full lifecycle from discovery and ownership assignment to access review, policy enforcement, auditability, and decommissioning. Each agent can be treated as a first-class identity, tied to a human owner, governed by policy, and auditable across development and runtime environments.
Coding agents, AI assistants, and other desktop agents need access to enterprise applications, systems, repositories, and tools to complete work on behalf of users. But giving agents direct access to credentials or long-lived secrets creates unnecessary risk and weakens enterprise control.
Ping enables trusted access for desktop agents by brokering access to enterprise resources without exposing secrets to the agents themselves. This is further enhanced for coding agents, where code commits are attributed to the agents to allow finer policy and control. Agents get the access they need to complete work, not the secrets behind that access, while enterprises retain control over how access is granted, governed, attributed, and audited.
“AI agents are changing both how work gets done and how identity must operate,” said Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer, Ping Identity. “Enterprises need AI agents to operate across systems and resources without creating new trust gaps. Ping helps organizations adopt AI faster while preserving governance, accountability, and control.”
These capabilities extend the Ping Identity Platform for the realities of the agentic enterprise: identity must be programmable, AI agents must be governed across their lifecycle, and agent access must be trusted without exposing secrets. With these additions, Ping helps organizations adopt AI agents more safely and efficiently while maintaining centralized identity governance, accountability, and control.
