Keyfactor announced a technology integration with Fortanix. The new
integration allows leading enterprises and managed service providers to
effectively manage all machine identities across hybrid and multi-cloud
infrastructure while reducing complexity in ensuring sensitive private keys
remain protected.
"The use of public key infrastructure
(PKI) and certificates to securely authenticate digital identities has grown
exponentially with accelerated cloud transformation," said BJ Ferguson, VP of
Channel, North America, Keyfactor. "Managing a
growing number of keys and certificates across multiple technology layers with
legacy solutions is a significant challenge in itself, not to mention ensuring
the protection of all private keys. We're excited to deliver a joint solution
with Fortanix that allows teams to easily manage and protect millions of keys
and certificates, whether in the cloud, on-premise or embedded in IoT devices."
Keyfactor and Fortanix combine the benefits of
certificate lifecycle automation with robust key protection
in Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM). Keyfactor Command
integrates directly with any public, private or cloud-based certificate
lifecycle automation, providing full discovery, policy enforcement and
automation for the lifecycle of certificates. Fortanix DSM ensures secure
generation and storage of private keys associated with those certificates.
"As more and more enterprises adopt hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures,
managing machine identities becomes a more difficult challenge to tackle,"
said Patrick Conte, VP of Business Development, Fortanix. "Teaming up
with Keyfactor instantly creates a
best-of-breed multi-cloud certificate and private key management
solution, and we look forward to collaborating on innovation for years to
come."
Key features and benefits of the joint
solution include:
- Enhanced
visibility and control:Enterprise security and IT teams are provided
a single pane of glass for discovery, management, and self-service enrollment
for certificates in multi-vendor environments.
- Automated
certificate renewal:Operations are simplified with fully automated
certificate renewal and provisioning across all devices and workloads in hybrid
and multi-cloud environments.
- Private key protection:Only authorized users can
access keys protected with multiple layers of defense, including Fortanix
Confidential Computing and Intel SGX.
- Distributed
architecture and DevOps ready:Customers can support millions of keys
and certificates with the joint solution's highly scalable, distributed
architecture. Developers can easily integrate security into applications with
native RESTful APIs and plugins.
