Guardian vs Elite Support
When Ping Is Critical, Support Is Not Enough
Ping Elite Support gives you expert access to the Ping product team when something breaks. That’s valuable.
Guardian goes a step further — it is designed to prevent incidents, reduce noise, and keep identity services running smoothly in the first place, especially in regulated, always-on environments.
Built for regulated, always-on environments, Guardian reduces operational risk instead of just reacting to it.
Guardian Prevents Issues Before They Happen
Guardian continuously monitors Ping using advanced observability, alert correlation, and AI-assisted triage to detect early warning signals.
Alerts are intelligently escalated and routed using proven tools like PagerDuty and Twilio, ensuring the right engineers act early — often resolving issues before they become incidents.
The Real Difference

AIS & AIC Accelerators for Ping Identity
Ping Beyond Authentication
Try Protect & Verify with a no-cost pilot
To de-risk adoption, we offer a free pilot of PingOne Protect & Verify for qualified customers.
In a short, focused engagement, we help you:
-
Connect Protect & Verify to a small but meaningful set of journeys
-
Turn on risk-based checks for bots, credential stuffing, account takeover
-
Add simple step-up challenges only when risk is high
-
Measure impact on fraud, friction and conversion
You end up with a clear view of:
-
Where Protect & Verify makes the biggest difference
-
What it will take to move from pilot to production
-
How to justify the investment to risk, fraud and business teams
PingAuthorize & Fine-Grained Access
Many regulated customers outgrow simple “role-based access”.
With PingAuthorize, Midships helps you:
-
Apply attribute-based access control (ABAC) for sensitive operations
-
Filter and mask data at API and data layers, not just at the UI
-
Enforce consent and privacy policies directly in your authorization layer
-
Support use cases like “only show partial data to this partner in this region”
We design the policies, data models and integrations so your teams don’t have to reverse-engineer the product.
Decentralized Identity & Credentials
Verifiable credentials sound complex, but at heart they solve one simple problem:
“How can I trust user data without holding all of it myself?”
Midships helps you:
-
Identify pragmatic use cases – KYC reuse, employee badges, partner onboarding, age verification
-
Design flows where users share just enough information from their wallet
-
Use selective disclosure and strong cryptography to protect privacy
-
Run small pilots first, then expand based on real results
You get to explore decentralized identity without betting the bank on day one.
Managed Services Band

-
Watch health, capacity and security signals around the clock
-

-
Manage incidents from alert to resolution, including communications and follow-up
-
