Syniverse Integrates with Ping Identity for a More Flexible and Trusted Customer Experience
"Global authentication doesn't work without reliable delivery — and that's where Syniverse stands apart," said Nathan Robbins, Vice President of Go to Market Strategy and Alliances of Syniverse. "Users expect to verify their identity immediately, and SMS and voice calls remain the fastest and most familiar ways to do that. Our native integration with PingOne lets customers configure SMS and voice delivery without building custom connections or workarounds."
This API-level integration enables Ping's customers to preserve their existing authentication workflows while switching to Syniverse. There's no need for custom development or lengthy implementation as credentials are configured directly in the PingOne interface, allowing teams to move quickly without interrupting the user experience.
The transition to Syniverse also opens the door to use cases beyond OTP delivery. Syniverse offers advanced messaging features like scheduling, branded links, and translation — available over short or long codes — all backed by high-touch support from messaging and compliance experts. These capabilities allow Ping's customers to strengthen their security posture and communication strategy while avoiding the hidden costs that come with poor deliverability or compliance missteps.
"Ping Identity is committed to providing our customers with flexible and secure authentication options," said Shannon Lightfoot, Director of Technology Alliances at Ping Identity. "Our partnership with Syniverse is a key part of this strategy, enabling PingOne customers to seamlessly transition to a BYO model for SMS and voice while benefiting from Syniverse's global reach, reliability, and advanced messaging capabilities. This gives our joint customers greater control over their authentication experience, allowing them to enhance branding, optimize delivery for different regions, and gain direct access to messaging analytics and logs, all while maintaining the high security standards they expect from Ping Identity."
Syniverse serves six of the top 10 banks in the United States, as well as three of the four major credit card issuers, with messaging solutions designed to help businesses connect with customers securely and efficiently across various channels. Its Messaging Trust service adds an extra layer of protection to authentication traffic by helping filter out spam, fraud, and other unwanted messages before they reach users.

Debunking Three Misconceptions For Those Scared To Go Passwordless
Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer - Ping Identity. Humans have typically been the weakest link in cybersecurity, meaning traditional passwords aren't just ineffective; they're a vulnerability waiting to be exploited. Whether it's repurposing weak passwords across multiple accounts or writing credentials down on paper and leaving them somewhere too accessible (i.e., the classic Post-it note on a desk), passwords have worked against security for far too long. Luckily, as an industry, we've remained bullish when educating end users about the dangers of traditional passwords. As a result, we're seeing greater adoption of best practices like multifactor authentication (MFA), creating more complex passwords and the use of password managers, but as cybercriminals continue to become more sophisticated, even these measures may not be enough. As organizations face increasing cyber threats and user fatigue with passwords, passwordless authentication is gaining traction. Passwordless authentication relies on verifying user identities without requiring a password or hard-to-remember security questions. Instead, it uses biometrics, certificates, one-time passwords and/or hardware tokens to ensure you are who you say you are, keeping cybercriminals out of accounts and sensitive information. Debunking Three Passwordless Misconceptions But as with any shift in technology, questions remain about timing, complexity, cost and readiness. Because of this, some organizations are understandably hesitant to adopt passwordless authentication. However, I believe many of these concerns can be mitigated by debunking some of the most common misconceptions once and for all. It's easy to assume that passwordless is a future technology—something to plan for later. But in practice, adoption is already underway. Microsoft, Apple and a growing number of enterprises have rolled out passkeys or other passwordless methods across ecosystems used by millions. Before Microsoft's shift, Google paved the path to passwordless, implementing passkeys to work across iPhones, Macs and Windows computers as well as Google's Android devices. From banking apps to gaming consoles, passwordless is no longer the exception—it's becoming the default in many places. Still, just because big tech has adopted it doesn't mean every organization is ready. The key is to assess where passwordless could add the most value today, and finding the right starting point matters more than trying to match the pace of early adopters. Passwordless authentication adoption can be overwhelming at first. But it doesn't have to be an 'all or nothing' experience. Organizations should move forward with a gradual approach at a pace that feels most comfortable for their business needs. While passwordless can simplify the login experience for end users, it's true that it can introduce new complexities on the back end, especially for organizations with legacy systems, federated identity models or compliance constraints. That said, traditional password systems come with their own complexity. Users often juggle dozens—sometimes hundreds—of credentials, leading to frequent resets, weak reuse and support burdens. In many cases, the day-to-day experience of passwordless (using Touch ID, a face scan or a magic link) is more intuitive than managing traditional logins. The real question is where the complexity lies: in the user's hands or in your infrastructure. Understanding that trade-off is essential when planning any passwordless initiative. Upfront implementation of passwordless systems can require investment, especially if it involves overhauling identity providers or retraining IT staff. But the long-term cost equation tells a different story. Analyst reports estimate that a third of help-desk calls are related to passwords. Each reset can cost upward of $70, which adds up quickly. The average large enterprise allocates over $1 million annually to password-related support costs. For customer-facing platforms, the stakes are even higher: A forgotten password can derail a purchase, hurt conversion rates or drive churn. To help overcome potential cost obstacles, it's important to understand your organization's specific cost-benefit analysis based on your current needs, long-term plans and IT infrastructure. Consider both hard and soft costs in the process. For instance, how much productivity time will employees gain with a simple, secure sign-on? Closing Thoughts Passwordless authentication isn't a cure-all, but it is a compelling piece of a broader cybersecurity and user-experience puzzle. Success depends less on hype and more on intentional implementation. For organizations exploring this path, the best question to ask may not be 'Is it time to go passwordless?' but 'Where can we start experimenting today?'

Syniverse's Sandra Rosa Named to Tampa Titan 100 for Second Consecutive Year
BUSINESS WIRE)-- Syniverse, the world's most connected company ®, celebrates Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Sandra Rosa for her second consecutive recognition as a Tampa Titan 100 honoree. The Titan 100 program annually honors the region's top executives who demonstrate exceptional leadership, vision, and influence. Rosa's repeat selection reflects her continued impact on workplace culture and inclusion at Syniverse, as well as her leadership in building high-performing teams through transparency and data-driven action. She is part of a distinguished group of leaders who have been reselected through a competitive process that highlights sustained excellence. "This honor belongs to the people who've engaged with the culture we're building — those who have asked hard questions, raised ideas, and believed in where we're heading," Rosa said. "It also allows me to stay connected to other leaders across Tampa who are navigating similar challenges, and that perspective helps shape how we continue to lead at Syniverse." Since her first Titan 100 recognition in 2024, Rosa has led the evolution of Syniverse's global culture strategy, which is grounded in human connection and powered by employee engagement. She launched a "Continuous Listening Strategy" that replaced the former once-a-year engagement survey with a new cadence of two to three surveys annually, complemented by deep-listening "Culture Connect" forums to gather actionable feedback. She also introduced quarterly storytelling platforms, launched a global women's network, and piloted a women's mentorship program that connected a small group of director and senior director-level women with C-suite leaders and senior vice presidents. Lessons from the pilot are now informing plans to expand the program more broadly. Her direct engagement with employees in India, Luxembourg, Costa Rica, and the United Kingdom has helped shape programs that reflect diverse needs and deliver measurable impact. "Sandra's leadership has made culture a core part of how we operate," said Andrew Davies, CEO of Syniverse. "She has built a strategy that reflects how people actually work, not just how we think they should, and her approach shapes how we lead and make decisions across every level of our organization." Rosa's commitment to empowering others extends well beyond Syniverse. She chairs the board of The Concilio, a Dallas-based nonprofit that unlocks opportunities for Latino families and serves on the board of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), which helps high school students to turn ideas into businesses through experiential learning and mentorship. Most recently, she joined the board of Wheels of Success, a Tampa-based nonprofit that addresses transportation barriers for working families and single mothers. The Tampa Titan 100 recognizes executives who exemplify exceptional leadership and community impact. This year's honorees will be celebrated on Oct. 30 at The Motor Enclave in Tampa. Collectively, this year's Titans and their companies employ over 235,000 people and generate more than $56 billion in annual revenue.

SecurityBridge Acquires CyberSafe To Deliver Contextual SSO, MFA, And Passwordless Authentication To SAP Users
Business Wire India SecurityBridge, the creator of the Cybersecurity Command Center for SAP, today announced the acquisition of CyberSafe, a UK-based pioneer in multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) solutions for SAP users. The acquisition marks a significant milestone in SAP security innovation, as CyberSafe's flagship TrustBroker® products will further enrich the SecurityBridge platform capabilities. A two-way integration enables customers to transition from password-based authentication to multi-factor authentication across the SAP technology stack, with full insight into the SAP application layer. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: SecurityBridge, the leading SAP security software provider, acquires MFA and SSO software company CyberSafe. 'SAP's native security lacks the depth today's threat landscape demands,' said Christoph Nagy, CEO and Co-founder of SecurityBridge. 'This acquisition reinforces our mission to ensure no SAP system or customer is ever compromised. By integrating TrustBroker with our platform, we enable customers to apply passwordless MFA across all SAP workflows, without compromising usability. However, customers can still use TrustBroker products standalone.' With a glowing global customer base spanning all industry segments and over three decades of cybersecurity expertise, CyberSafe brings deep authentication capabilities and a proven track record in enterprise-class identity protection. The TrustBroker products offer secure single sign-on (SSO), policy-based MFA during login, and step-up authentication (SUA), utilizing leading MFA applications, such as Microsoft Entra MFA (formerly Azure MFA), Okta, PingID, Duo, RSA SecurID, and TOTP/HOTP apps. Once integrated with SecurityBridge, TrustBroker products will act upon real-time threat signals, such as anomalous logon behavior, suspicious devices, and past user activity, to determine when MFA enforcement is necessary, thereby adding contextual intelligence to SAP user authentication. 'For over three decades, CyberSafe has been at the forefront of integrating SAP user authentication with existing infrastructure, such as Microsoft Active Directory,' said Tim Alsop, Managing Director of CyberSafe. 'Joining forces with SecurityBridge facilitates building new products and enhancing existing products while leveraging the growing adoption of modern authentication methods. I am also looking forward to being able to deliver integration with the SecurityBridge platform, so that our TrustBroker products can offer contextual and risk-based MFA.' The combined platform offering behavior-based enforcement policies with MFA takes SAP security to a new level by: Automatically enforcing MFA when users return after long periods of inactivity (e.g., 90+ days). Prompting MFA for logins outside of a user's standard working hours. Enforcing MFA when logins originate from devices not previously associated with the user. Requiring additional authentication for users with past suspicious behavior or flagged activity. Triggering MFA when access occurs from devices used by multiple individuals. These context-aware measures will seamlessly adapt authentication requirements to each situation, reducing user friction during normal activity while strengthening protection against abnormal or high-risk access attempts. About CyberSafe CyberSafe is a leading global security software vendor, providing mature, proven, standards-based solutions that enable true enterprise-class single sign-on (SSO), policy-based multi-factor authentication (MFA), and step-up authentication (SUA) for mission-critical SAP business applications.
