Ping Identity has extended its identity platform for what it calls the “agentic enterprise”, adding capabilities to make identity programmable for AI agents, govern those agents across their lifecycle, and give desktop agents access to enterprise resources without exposing the underlying secrets.
Programmable identity adds AI-first, headless interfaces and “skills” that let builders and agents work with identity through MCP, a command-line interface and APIs, within approved policies and guardrails.
Agent discovery and governance treats each agent as a first-class identity tied to a human owner, governed by policy and auditable from discovery through to decommissioning, while privileged access for desktop agents brokers just-in-time access to systems, repositories and tools without exposing credentials, while attributing code commits to the agents responsible.
The aim, Ping said, is to let enterprises support AI-driven operations without standing up a parallel identity stack, keeping governance and control consistent across human, non-human and AI-agent access.
“AI agents are changing both how work gets done and how identity must operate,” said Peter Barker, CPO at Ping Identity.
“Enterprises need AI agents to operate across systems and resources without creating new trust gaps. Ping helps organisations adopt AI faster while preserving governance, accountability, and control.”
