Anonybit and Fingerprint Cards have integrated their biometric authentication solutions with Ping Identity’s PingOne DaVinci platform, addressing rising data breach concerns. Their collaboration aims to deliver privacy-focused, user-friendly authentication methods to enterprises, supporting a range of biometric modalities for varied use cases.
Anonybit and Fingerprint Cards (FPC) are teaming up to enhance biometric authentication via the Ping Identity platform. Their integration with PingOne DaVinci, a no-code identity orchestration service, seeks to offer enterprises a more secure, privacy-focused, multi-modal biometric authentication solution aimed at mitigating credential theft risks that can lead to severe data breaches.
A recent report from Verizon identified that a staggering 84 percent of data breaches stem from stolen identity credentials, highlighting the urgent need for better authentication methods. Anonybit emphasizes that continuing to rely on outdated systems only increases vulnerability for organizations.
The partnership between Anonybit and FPC began in December 2024, with a focus on improving authentication methods. Adam Philpott, CEO of FPC, describes the integration with PingOne DaVinci as a vital progression in their collaboration. He mentioned it would harness their biometric capabilities within a key cloud identity platform, facilitating more secure, user-friendly authentication while overcoming the hurdles associated with passwordless solutions.
While biometrics and passkeys continue to promise improved security, privacy concerns linger regarding biometrics, and passkey adoption remains slow. Frances Zelazny, CEO of Anonybit, insists that in today’s environment, robust security alone isn’t enough. Companies also require solutions that easily integrate with their existing tech infrastructure.
Zelazny stated, “By integrating with PingOne DaVinci, we are making it easier for enterprises to move beyond weak authentication methods with next-generation human-centric authentication without being forced into a one-size-fits-all model.”
The duo’s new integration will support various biometric modalities, providing a comprehensive design adaptable to different usage scenarios. This is particularly useful in situations like shared device environments, physical access, and accommodating hybrid workforces where traditional solutions may struggle.
Loren Russon, SVP of Product Management at Ping Identity, expressed commitment to expanding partnerships to enhance customer experience. He said this new collaboration with Anonybit would utilize DaVinci’s orchestration capabilities to ensure quick, efficient navigation through the authentication process, ultimately streamlining user engagement across the board.
The integration of Anonybit and FPC with Ping Identity’s platform is a significant step towards improved biometric authentication for enterprises. Highlighting the urgent need for enhanced security measures in light of rising data breaches, this partnership not only aims to bolster security but also enhances user experience through tech compatibility. With multiple biometric modalities, the new integration provides flexible solutions for organizations adapting to modern authentication challenges.
