An enterprise identity platform providing SSO, MFA, API access management, and directory services for organizations with complex hybrid and multi-cloud identity environments.
Ping Identity governs human identity across complex enterprise environments: heterogeneous directories, on-premises and cloud applications, and regulatory requirements that demand fine-grained access control for human users. Like all human-centric identity platforms, Ping does not extend naturally to workload authentication — microservices, AI agents, and CI/CD pipelines have no equivalent to the login flows and session model that Ping governs. Aembit handles that layer separately, and connects to Ping for Aembit administrator sign-in via SAML 2.0 or OIDC, and for blended identity in agentic AI scenarios where Ping-authenticated users and AI agent workload identities are combined into a single access decision.
Aembit does not replace Ping Identity. Ping governs human identity lifecycle and application access, a problem Aembit was not designed to solve.
Aembit integrates with Ping Identity via SAML 2.0 or OIDC 1.0. Organizations that already have Ping deployed get:
– Administrator single sign-on to the Aembit platform through Ping, so security and platform teams authenticate to Aembit using the same credentials they use across the enterprise. Aembit supports both SAML 2.0 and OIDC, with automatic user creation mapped from Ping group attributes to Aembit roles.
– Blended identity for agentic AI scenarios. When an AI agent acts on behalf of a Ping-authenticated user, Aembit redirects the user to Ping for authentication, captures the resulting OIDC claims, and combines them with the AI agent’s workload identity into a single access decision. This enables per-user policies for AI agent access that account for both who the human is and what agent workload is acting on their behalf.
– Per-user credential isolation in agentic workflows. Each user’s AI agent session receives credentials scoped to their Ping-attested identity. Users can be granted or revoked independently without rotating shared credentials or affecting other users.
– A combined audit trail covering both the Ping-authenticated human identity and Aembit’s workload access log, meeting dual-attribution requirements for SOC 2 and compliance-sensitive environments.

Blended identity
Ping Identity and Aembit address different problems for different identity types in enterprise environments.
Ping governs human identity: SSO and MFA for employees and partners, directory federation across on-premises LDAP and cloud identity systems, and fine-grained access policies for the applications humans use. Organizations that run Ping have typically invested in it because their identity environment involves multiple directories, legacy applications, and compliance requirements that demand auditable human access controls.
None of that complexity transfers naturally to non-human identities. Workloads, agents, and pipelines do not have login flows, sessions, or browser-based MFA challenges. The service accounts teams create in Ping or in downstream systems to give workloads access tend to be overprovisioned, long-lived, and disconnected from the governance processes Ping provides for human accounts.
Aembit addresses this at the runtime layer: workloads authenticate using cryptographic attestation tied to their runtime environment, access is policy-driven, credentials are short-lived and never stored, and every access event is logged with full identity context. The two tools serve different constituencies in the same enterprise — Ping for the human identity layer, Aembit for the non-human runtime layer — and neither needs to be replaced for the other to add value.
