These new features come at a time when many businesses are at a crossroads in their Digital Transformation journeys . Teams must evaluate the best authentication approach that will both maximise security while simultaneously preserving a seamless user experience .

For many organisations , maintaining sensitive passwords on-prem while moving other operations to the cloud creates a significant challenge .

“ Our customers are telling us they want to move away from passwords and go passwordless . But a move to cloud often means adding more passwords or forcing password resets , which is a bad experience for users ,” said Peter Barker , Chief Product Officer , ForgeRock .

" With our new pass-through authentication and just-in-time migration capabilities , ForgeRock Identity Cloud empowers enterprises to move to the cloud without the headaches of managing even more passwords and causing customer inconveniences that can erode brand loyalty .”

Here ’ s what the new features deliver :

• Pass-Through Authentication ( PTA ): Adding another set

of passwords in the cloud is cumbersome and expensive . To avoid that , PTA allows customers who are ready to move to the cloud and want to keep their passwords on-premises , to use existing user IDs and passwords by authenticating against any identity store , including Active Directory , LDAP , SQL , or even flat files . This innovative approach also simplifies implementation and reduces associated IT costs .

• Just-in-Time Migration : Asking customers to reset their passwords often stalls cloud migration projects because organisations fear customers will abandon their service . ForgeRock ’ s new Just-in-Time Migration feature removes that hurdle by allowing enterprises to migrate to the ForgeRock Identity Cloud without forcing customers to change their passwords . Organisations can also choose to migrate users gradually by department , location or other factors to enable a phased approach to cloud , thereby reducing unnecessary risks during migration . This incremental approach also provides the flexibility to keep the passwords on-premises for organisations that have stricter regulatory or other compliance needs .

ForgeRock Identity Cloud is the only SaaS delivered identity platform purposebuilt for the enterprise .

Its unique IAM capabilities includes patented data isolation technology that separates each organisation ’ s identity data to provide superior cloud security . u
