Ping Identity secures 2026 Google Cloud award

Ping Identity has received the 2026 Google Cloud Security Partner of the Year Award for Identity & Access Management, recognising its work in enterprise identity and access security within the Google Cloud ecosystem.

Ping Identity has received the 2026 Google Cloud Security Partner of the Year Award in the Identity & Access Management category. The award recognises its work within the Google Cloud ecosystem, where it has supported customers with passwordless access, device and browser trust, and identity-first controls.

The recognition reflects Ping Identity’s focus on modernising workforce and customer identity management for large enterprises, and supporting AI-driven workloads across platforms including Google Workspace, Chrome Enterprise, and the Google Cloud Marketplace. As an identity provider (IdP) available through the Google Cloud Marketplace, Ping enables organisations to apply identity-first security across both access and execution, with controls designed to govern human and AI agent activity across interactions.

The partnership with Google Cloud forms part of Ping Identity’s approach to identity-first security in the context of AI. As AI systems move into production, the emphasis includes both access management and execution control. By combining Ping’s runtime identity capabilities with Google Cloud’s infrastructure, organisations can look to manage risk, delegate authority, and implement AI systems in controlled environments.

In the past year, Ping reported 66% year-over-year growth in Marketplace total contract value and a threefold increase in global Marketplace sales across EMEA and APJ. This included initiatives such as the launch of Chrome Enterprise Device Trust, aimed at identity modernisation across sectors including financial services, healthcare, and sports media. Ping also received two 2025 Google Cloud Partner All-Star Awards for Sales and AI Innovations.

As AI adoption continues, Ping Identity states it will continue developing identity-first security capabilities to support governance of AI and secure scaling on Google Cloud infrastructure.
