Ping Identity adds AWS, Google Cloud & Cloudflare links

Ping Identity has added integrations with AWS, Google Cloud and Cloudflare for its Runtime Identity product, extending identity controls into the cloud and edge environments used by AI agents.

The integrations target organisations that want to monitor what AI agents can access, what actions they perform and how those actions are governed across distributed systems. Ping Identity's approach moves identity controls beyond sign-in to ongoing authorisation and policy enforcement during live operations.

That matters because AI agents increasingly operate across multiple platforms, cloud services and identity boundaries. They may call APIs, use tools, interact with model context protocol servers, and access data or services at the edge, creating more control points for security teams.

The new integrations are designed to place policy enforcement closer to those points of action, allowing enterprises to centralise authorisation rather than embed controls separately across agents, tools and related services.

Andre Durand, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Ping Identity, outlined the company's view of the shift in AI operations.

"Organisations want to move faster with AI, but they can't afford to lose visibility or control as AI agents begin operating autonomously across cloud and edge environments," said Andre Durand, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Ping Identity.

"These integrations help bring continuous authorisation and real-time policy enforcement into the environments where AI agents are being built and deployed," Durand said.

AWS focus

On AWS, Ping Identity is working in environments where customers build AI agents and automation tools, including Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The integration is intended to help enterprises establish identities for AI agents, apply delegated access controls and align agent behaviour with internal rules on sensitive data, regulated workloads and operating limits.

AWS framed the issue as one of adapting identity controls to changing agent behaviour across cloud systems.

"Production AI workloads require identity and authorisation controls that can adapt dynamically as agents interact across cloud environments," said Hart Rossman, Vice President of Security and Infrastructure at AWS.

"Together, AWS and Ping Identity help customers apply delegated access and real-time governance controls across AI-driven workloads operating at enterprise scale," Rossman said.

Google Cloud link

With Google Cloud, Ping Identity software integrates with Google Cloud Agent Gateway. The setup is intended to let enterprises secure and govern traffic between agents and tools as requests move across network paths.

Customers can use the integration to authenticate agents with delegated identities tied to the users or systems they represent. It also allows more detailed policy controls across interactions involving agents, tools, model context protocol tools and downstream APIs, while keeping authorisation logic in one place.

The emphasis on centralised policy reflects a broader challenge in enterprise AI roll-outs. As companies move from pilot projects to production systems, they face pressure to avoid fragmented controls that can leave gaps in visibility when agents switch between data sources, infrastructure and external tools.

Edge expansion

Cloudflare's role centres on the edge, where AI agents may interact with public and private data as well as distributed infrastructure. The integration extends identity enforcement into those environments, building on the companies' existing work around Zero Trust access controls.

The joint approach focuses on securing agent and model context protocol traffic with scoped credentials backed by enterprise identity controls, applying Zero Trust policies to traffic reaching models and enterprise data, and monitoring activity across distributed edge environments.

Cloudflare described identity controls as a core part of managing AI deployments beyond the central cloud.

"Cloudflare is a critical infrastructure layer for AI agent deployments, where enterprises run and secure agentic AI workloads," said Tom Evans, Chief Partner Officer at Cloudflare.

"Identity and Zero Trust are key to maintaining visibility and control as organisations deploy AI agents across distributed environments. Expanding our work with Ping Identity will further enable organizations to secure AI agent traffic and MCP servers at the edge," Evans said.

The announcement highlights how identity vendors are repositioning themselves as AI agents become a new class of non-human actor inside corporate systems. Rather than treating access control as a one-off authentication event, suppliers are increasingly arguing that authorisation decisions must be updated continuously as software agents move between services and act on behalf of users or business systems.

For Ping Identity, the new integrations also extend a broader strategy to govern AI agents across distributed environments. The aim is to help enterprises establish trusted identities for those agents and apply governance controls wherever they operate.

Integrations with AWS, Google Cloud and Cloudflare are available through the Ping Marketplace.
