Short answer

How can I audit my identity security policies using AI?

Your agent pulls your current risk rules and sign-on configurations from Ping Identity. It then compares these settings against your Zero-Trust requirements to find weak spots. You get a clear list of where your policies fail to meet your security standards.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI organizes its findings into these specific areas.

RISK

Policy gaps identified

The AI flags risk management rules that are too permissive. You get a list of specific rules that need tightening.

ACCESS

Sign-on flow weaknesses

Your agent finds flaws in how users authenticate. This highlights where sign-on policies might allow unauthorized access.

APPS

Application exposure

The AI maps out which applications are active and how they are protected. This shows you which apps are most vulnerable.

HUMAN

Manual remediation

The AI cannot change your settings. You receive the specific details needed to go into the console and fix the issues yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit starts.

The agent performs a sequence of reads to build a complete picture of your identity landscape.

  1. Map the environment

    The agent starts by pulling a full list of all registered applications in your Ping Identity instance.

    list_applications

  2. Inspect sign-on rules

    It examines the specific logic used during the authentication process to ensure MFA or other triggers are active.

    list_sign_on_policies

  3. Evaluate risk logic

    The agent pulls your risk management policies to check if the triggers for stepped-up authentication are sufficient.

    list_risk_policies

  4. Deep dive into apps

    For any suspicious or high-value targets, the agent pulls the specific configuration for that individual application.

    get_application

FAQ

How the audit behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my security policies?

    No. The AI can only read your policies and report on them. You must manually update your settings in Ping Identity.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete applications?

    No. There are no tools provided to delete or modify applications, only to list and get their details.

  • 03

    How does the AI know if a policy is bad?

    The AI compares the data it pulls from your policies against the Zero-Trust principles you provide in your prompt.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my user passwords?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to see policy configurations and application metadata, not sensitive user credentials.

  • 05

    Can I audit a specific application's risk level?

    Yes. You can ask the agent to look at a specific application to see how its individual policies are set up.
