Case Study: Gates Corporation achieves centralized global authentication and stronger security with Ping Identity

Gates powers up with new global authentication authority

Gates Corporation, a global manufacturer with 100+ locations in 30 countries, faced fragmented authentication systems after years of disparate legacy, on‑premises and homegrown solutions and a shifting security perimeter from increased cloud and remote access. The company needed a single, scalable, standards‑based global authentication authority to create a consistent source of truth for identities, improve visibility into user access, and deploy stronger controls like SSO and multi‑factor authentication (MFA).

Gates implemented the Ping Intelligent Identity Platform for workforce SSO, MFA and directory services, consolidating authentication across on‑premises and SaaS apps and leveraging Ping’s integrations and partner ecosystem for smoother deployment and future expansion. The result is a standardized identity foundation that provides greater visibility and control, consistent authentication policies, improved security posture, simplified identity management for employees and partners, and a scalable approach to support growth.
