Our take
Ping Identity is a platform, delivered through both cloud services and on-premises software, providing a comprehensive Identity and Access Management service. In today’s highly connected digital world, digital identity management services — the process of identifying and authenticating users on networks to access services — has become a key aspect of interacting on the internet.
According to the latest forecasts, the digital identity market is worth approximately $60 billion in 2025, with annual growth rates ranging from 16 to 21%, depending on the source. Consequently, competition is heavy for PingIdentity, with some other strong players in the various branches of identity management, including Okta, LastPass, and Duo Security. The merger between PingIdentity and ForgeRock in 2023 went some way to consolidating a firm footing in the industry for both companies.
Now combined with Forgerock, PingIdentity has successfully attracted considerable funding and serves hundreds of brands, including Morningstar, Vodafone, and GEICO, as well as the governments of Norway, Canada, and Belgium. Alongside this, both companies were acquired by the leading software investment firm, Thoma Bravo, in 2022 before the merger. This acquisition offered a unique opportunity for PingIdentity to further grow, and in doing so, it won the Google Cloud Security Partner of the Year Award in 2026. Evidently, it's an exciting new chapter for the combined company and its customers.
