Keyfactor brings digital trust to the hyper-connected world with identity-first security for every machine and human
Published: 2023-06-26 | Author: VisionariesNetwork Team
Keyfactor’s roots date back to 2001. What began as a PKI consulting service has evolved into a comprehensive machine identity management platform. Over the years, the company’s focus on empowering customers to protect and manage every machine identity hasn’t wavered. Along the way, Keyfactor brought together best-in-class companies, people, and technology.
Most recently, Keyfactor merged with PrimeKey, a pioneer in open-source public key infrastructure (PKI) and signing solutions. Bringing together the most widely used PKI and certificate authority (CA) software with end-to-end machine identity management empowers its customers to securely connect and authenticate every device, workload, and application across their business.
Establishing digital trust is the foundation of every digital transaction in today's interconnected world. With businesses operating across borders and industries, trust is crucial for speed, security, and compliance. However, fragmented PKI and certificate management tools can create inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and infrastructure complexity. Keyfactor's innovative approach to PKI and certificate management provides a single solution stack that streamlines digital trust establishment. This comprehensive solution empowers organizations to build, manage, and scale digital trust across all teams.
Keyfactor's solution offers automation of workflows and manual processes with automated PKI configuration, deployment, and certificate management. It also enables deployment of PKI as Code in Kubernetes or OpenShift with pre-built playbooks, integration with all major certificate authorities (CAs), HSMs, and cloud platforms, and ensures quantum-readiness with tools to discover and inventory assets, test NIST-selected PQC algorithms, and build a path toward migration.
Keyfactor provides flexible deployment options to suit every organization's unique needs. Choose from software appliance, hardware appliance, containers, SaaS-delivered, or fully managed, single-tenant solution deployments. Deploy your PKI on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid model - the choice is yours.
At Keyfactor, the team understands the importance of trust and compliance. Its solutions are actively maintained to meet industry standards and regulations, including Common Criteria/NIAP, ISO 27001, PCI DSS 3.2, and SOC 2 Type II for hosted customers. The company’s open-source PKI and signing solutions are widely adopted by a global community of thousands of developers and PKI practitioners. The company’s in-house experts develop and support the popular Bouncy Castle cryptography APIs, enabling customers to build quantum-ready and FIPS-certified applications.
Keyfactor prioritizes open standards over proprietary integrations, ensuring seamless integration with all major CAs, HSMs, and cloud platforms. Its solutions support open-source frameworks and popular protocols like ACME, EST, CMP, CMPv2, Matter, and more.
As the threat of quantum computers looms closer, Keyfactor is at the forefront of quantum-readiness. Keyfactor’s customers are already equipped with tools to discover and inventory assets, test NIST-selected PQC algorithms, and build a path toward migration.
EJBCA Enterprise is Keyfactor's flagship PKI solution that provides a complete turnkey PKI experience. With EJBCA Enterprise, organizations can deploy their PKI as a turnkey software appliance, hardware appliance, in the cloud, as a service (SaaS PKI), or in a hybrid model. They can issue identities for every device, workload, and user; integrate with any application or use case via support for multiple formats, protocols, and algorithms; configure fine-tuned controls over certificate profiles, extensions, approval workflows, and validation from one console; run their entire PKI on a single instance; scale up on-demand without infrastructure complexity; and simplify audits with detailed signed audit logs.
