ForgeRock Unlocks Path to Passwordless for Hybrid Enterprises Moving to the Cloud

ForgeRock® (NYSE: FORG), a global leader in digital identity,
today announced new features to ForgeRock Identity Cloud to help
enterprises overcome the barriers caused by passwords when moving
to the cloud with Pass-Through Authentication and Just-in-Time
Migration.
These new features come at a time when many businesses are at a
crossroads in their digital transformation journeys. Teams must
evaluate the best authentication approach that will both maximize
security while simultaneously preserving a seamless user
experience. For many organizations, maintaining sensitive passwords
on-prem while moving other operations to the cloud creates a
significant challenge.
“Our customers are telling us they want to move away from
passwords and go passwordless. But a move to cloud often means
adding more passwords or forcing password resets, which is a bad
experience for users,” said Peter Barker, chief product officer,
ForgeRock. “With our new pass-through authentication and
just-in-time migration capabilities, ForgeRock Identity Cloud
empowers enterprises to move to the cloud without the headaches of
managing even more passwords and causing customer inconveniences
that can erode brand loyalty.”
Here’s what the new features deliver:
- Pass-Through Authentication (PTA): Adding another set of
passwords in the cloud is cumbersome and expensive. To avoid that,
PTA allows customers who are ready to move to the cloud and want to
keep their passwords on-premises, to use existing user IDs and
passwords by authenticating against any identity store, including
Active Directory, LDAP, SQL, or even flat files. This innovative
approach also simplifies implementation and reduces associated IT
costs.
- Just-in-Time Migration: Asking customers to reset their
passwords often stalls cloud migration projects because
organizations fear customers will abandon their service.
ForgeRock’s new Just-in-Time Migration feature removes that hurdle
by allowing enterprises to migrate to the ForgeRock Identity Cloud
without forcing their customers to change their passwords.
Organizations can also choose to migrate users gradually by
department, location or other factors to enable a phased approach
to cloud, thereby reducing unnecessary risks during migration. This
incremental approach also provides the flexibility to keep the
passwords on-premises for organizations that have stricter
regulatory or other compliance needs.
ForgeRock Identity Cloud is the only SaaS delivered identity
platform purpose-built for the enterprise. Its unique IAM
capabilities includes patented data isolation technology that
separates each organization’s identity data to provide superior
cloud security. ForgeRock Identity Cloud also offers no surprise
pricing to deliver simple and flexible subscriptions with
predictable pricing that eliminates overage charges.
These new features are available now for ForgeRock Identity
Cloud customers. For more information please visit
