Nymi extends wearable biometrics to Ping Identity enterprise ecosystem with partnership

Nymi has announced a new partnership with Ping Identity to provide its wearable-based multi-factor biometric authentication as part of the PingZero suite.

PingZero is the latest tool by the enterprise identity solutions firm, and works by utilizing device and browser settings, biometrics, and the FIDO2 standard to provide secure authentication capabilities.

The platform also makes use of the Ping Intelligent Identity platform and its embedded technologies to provide a passwordless experience across a variety of resources and applications.

Under the partnership, the Nymi Band’s capabilities are now available for continuous biometric authentication through PingZero.

Nymi has been growing steadily in the last couple of months, closing a number of partnerships and expanding the capabilities of the Nymi band.

For example, in October the company joined forces with HID Global to allow its customers to authenticate themselves to systems and devices via HID’s next-generation credential technology, Seos.

Last month Nymi launched its technology partner program, collaborated with ThinManager on biometric-enabled touchless authentication solutions, and added real-time location data to the Nymi Band via a partnership with Quuppa.

Nymi is also a member of the FIDO Alliance, collaborating with dozens of technology partners on the development of passwordless authentication solutions, and has multinational customers in 16 countries.
