Course Overview

The Ping Identity course by Open Source is designed to equip IT professionals with advanced skills in identity and access management (IAM) using the Ping Identity Platform, a leading solution in enterprise security. This training prepares candidates for the Certified Professional - PingFederate and Certified Expert - PingAccess exams, which validate expertise in configuring, managing, and securing digital identities across hybrid and cloud environments. Targeted at roles such as Identity and Access Management Engineers, Cybersecurity Analysts, and Cloud Security Architects, the course addresses growing industry demand—Ping Identity now secures over 8 billion accounts and is trusted by more than half of the Fortune 100 companies, underscoring its critical role in modern cybersecurity infrastructure.

Participants engage with core components of the Ping Identity Platform, including PingFederate, PingAccess, PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud, PingIDM (Identity Management), PingDS (Directory Services), and PingGateway. The hands-on labs are conducted in a live development environment using the Cloud Deployment Model (CDM) on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), where students deploy and configure the full Identity Platform stack using DevOps tools like Kubernetes, Kustomize, Skaffold, and Git. A key project involves building and securing a real-world application—such as the ForgeRock Entertainment Company (FEC) Portal—by implementing single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), context-based authorization policies, and role-based provisioning, ensuring students gain practical experience in securing modern identity ecosystems.

This course directly prepares learners for the Ping Identity Certified Professional and Certified Expert certifications, which are recognized industry credentials that validate technical mastery and enhance professional credibility. Certified professionals in this domain can expect competitive compensation, with IAM roles averaging between $110,000 and $160,000 annually in the U.S., depending on experience and location. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning journey with its Guaranteed-to-Run batch model, official courseware, and access to expert-led training, ensuring students receive structured, outcome-driven instruction. Upon completion, graduates are well-positioned to lead identity initiatives in global enterprises, driving secure, seamless access in an increasingly digital world.
