Private PKI-as-a-Service
WHY: Private PKI is typically used to provide strong authentication and encryption for internal use cases. Enterprises rely on thier public key infrastructure (PKI) Rather than Private PKI for identity, security and trust for the vast ecosystem of machines, users, devices and applications in their environment.
CHALLENGE: Implementing an on-prem private PKI is very complex, time-consuming, expensive and rigid. It requires upfront investment in expensive hardware, dedicated PKI expertise and significant time and effort for ongoing operations and maintenance.
There are also additional requirements and hidden costs that are often overlooked including:
- Hardware and software procurement and maintenance.
- Secure facilities including backup and disaster recovery.
- Compliance audits.
- Certificate lifecycle management.
- Highly available validation services including OCSP infrastructure.
- Internal PKI expertise/ consultants for designing the PKI.
- Scalability to support growth and modern use cases.
- Creation of a CP/CPS and auditing of policies/procedures
