SpyCloud now integrates with Ping Identity's PingOne DaVinci and Advanced Identity Cloud to operationalize exposure intelligence and accelerate automated remediation. April 29, 2026 09:00 ET | Source: SpyCloud AUSTIN, Texas, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - SpyCloud, the leader in identity threat protection, today announced new integrations with Ping Identity, a leader in securing digital identities for the world's largest enterprises, spanning two complementary platforms: PingOne DaVinci(TM), a no-code identity orchestration service, and PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud (AIC), the identity cloud built for the enterprise. Together, these integrations will enable SpyCloud to quickly deliver exposure intelligence at the point of authentication - automatically detecting and remediating compromised credentials across workforce and consumer identity journeys at scale. SpyCloud joins a growing network of technology partners developing integrations with DaVinci and AIC through the Ping Identity Global Technology Partner Program. Partner solutions that integrate with DaVinci deliver an improved customer experience in a fraction of the time, through easy drag-and-drop design of digital user journeys across multiple applications and ecosystems. The AIC integration provides patented data isolation technology to enable control, granular data residency to simplify compliance, and dedicated services that ensure maximum performance. SpyCloud provides unique identity protection solutions for workforce and consumer identities, addressing their distinct risks and needs. * Workforce Threat Protection - integrated into DaVinci flows for employees. * Consumer Threat Protection - designed for consumers within AIC journeys. SPYCLOUD WORKFORCE THREAT PROTECTION + PINGONE DAVINCI When an employee logs in, resets a password, or gets onboarded, the SpyCloud Workforce Threat Protection connector checks their credentials against SpyCloud's database of recaptured breach records, infostealer malware logs, combolists, and successful phishes, with 90%+ of passwords cracked to plaintext for accurate matching. If there's a match, the DaVinci flow responds immediately: block access, force a reset, or escalate to MFA. It drops in as a drag-and-drop connector - no custom development required. SPYCLOUD CONSUMER THREAT PROTECTION + ADVANCED IDENTITY CLOUD When a consumer logs in or creates an account, the SpyCloud Auth Node checks their credentials against SpyCloud's database - in real time, inside the PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud journey. If there's a match, the journey automatically responds: step up to MFA, force a password reset, or block access entirely. The level of response scales to the level of risk. "SpyCloud has spent years building the most comprehensive database of recaptured darknet data in the industry," said Damon Fleury, Chief Product Officer, SpyCloud. "Partnering with Ping Identity means that intelligence is actionable at the exact moment of authentication - for both workforce and consumer identities. That's a meaningful shift from reactive breach response to proactive, continuous identity protection." "Ping Identity is committed to expanding our partner ecosystem to deliver better, more seamless customer experiences," said Loren Russon, SVP of Product Management at Ping Identity. "Integrating SpyCloud's specialized intelligence into Ping's orchestration engine and Run-Time Identity platform allows organizations to automatically neutralize identity threats within dynamic user journeys, strengthening security without adding friction to the user experience."
