# Getting Started with PingFederate

This guide provides information about configuring PingFederate to deploy a secure Internet-identity platform, including single sign-on (SSO) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>The process of authenticating an identity (signing on) at one website (usually with a user ID and password) and then accessing resources secured by other domains without reauthenticating.\</p>
\</div>)*, based on the latest security and business standards.
