PingFederate vs. Akamai Enterprise Application Access

PingFederate is an enterprise federation server that enables secure user authentication and single sign-on (SSO) across various applications and services. It acts as a centralized authentication authority, facilitating seamless access for customers, employees, and partners without the need for multiple sign-ons or passwords. By supporting a wide range of identity protocols, PingFederate ensures interoperability and enhances both security and user experience.

Enterprise Application Access is a unique cloud architecture that closes all inbound firewall ports, while ensuring that only authorized users and devices have access to the internal applications they need, and not the entire network. No one can access applications directly because they are hidden from the Internet and public exposure. Enterprise Application Access integrates data path protection, single sign-on, identity access, application security, and management visibility and control into a single service.
