Security News > 2021 > August > Identity is replacing the password: What software developers and IT pros need to know
Identity and access management is pushing application security past single-factor authentication and even multi-factor authentication to a risk management model says Ping Identity CEO. Identity and access management systems are making it easier for software developers to secure their applications, for employees and customers to access the tools and services they need and for companies to protect their systems and data.
On a recent episode of Dynamic Developer , I spoke with Andre Durand, Founder and CEO of Ping Identity about how the changing landscape of identity and access management are affecting software development.
Bill Detwiler: So before we get started really talking about identity and access management, for those listeners and viewers who don't know Ping Identity, give me a rundown on the company.
How should software developers being thinking about identity and access management?
The control plane has shifted, or the foundation has shifted from being kind of like a on-prem network-centric, AD-centered view of how we manage identity to, Hey, this identity thing.
So you do need to separate out the workforce identity experience and technology from the customer identity experience and technology.
