Entrust Launches PKI Hub for Enhanced Security Management
Entrust Unveils PKI Hub for Comprehensive Security Management
Entrust is excited to announce the launch of its groundbreaking solution, PKI Hub. This new offering stands at the forefront of identity-centric security solutions, facilitating enhanced visibility, management, and automation of cryptographic assets. Designed as an all-in-one, container-based virtual appliance, PKI Hub can be effortlessly deployed at scale, whether in the cloud or onsite.
What is PKI Hub?
Entrust PKI Hub is an advanced solution that consolidates every essential component required for operating a secure, post-quantum-ready Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This innovative platform safeguards various applications and seamlessly expands according to demand. By deploying PKI Hub as a pre-packaged virtual appliance, customers gain significant efficiency in PKI and Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM), with added flexibility to scale operations across both local and cloud settings.
The Evolution of PKI and Its Importance
Over the last quarter-century, PKI has adapted to serve numerous applications, from cloud platforms and edge networks to the Internet of Things (IoT), modern citizen identities, and digital signature services. Michael Klieman, the Global Vice President of Digital Security Product Management at Entrust, emphasizes the significance of PKI's evolution, noting that while PKI usage expands and grows more complex, organizations often struggle to manage their cryptographic assets effectively. Without proper oversight, these assets can lead to security vulnerabilities, unexpected outages, and compliance issues.
