Modernize PKI
Improve security while reducing complexity with Axiad’s PKI-as-a-Service to manage the digital certificates securing people, machines, services, and transactions.
Challenges in Securing Digital Identities
It is estimated that machines and workloads now outnumber human identities by as much as 10:1. Properly securing today’s enterprise means managing authentication across a broad range of different device types and services spanning different OSs, protocols and connectors, both physical and cloud-based.
The proliferation of digital identities leads to a growing attack surface exploitable by cyber criminals. Siloed applications and improperly maintained public/private security keys and certificates present multiple opportunities for breaches.
Many organizations have existing on-premises PKI systems dating back many years. Maintaining these systems with X.509 certificates is complex and time-consuming, requiring expertise that may no longer exist inside the organization. These on-premise systems are often inflexible and hard to scale plus require ongoing maintenance of physical infrastructure.
Key Benefits of Axiad Conductor’s PKI-as-a-Service
Comprehensive
Serves all user, machine and application certificate needs with a single, consistent interface. Generates certificates consistently across OSs, workloads, and services. Provides a comprehensive public-key infrastructure supporting X.509 certificate generation, distribution, renewal, rotation, and revocation. Axiad Conductor provides a complete Certificate Authority with advanced features supporting multiple domains, fine-grained access policies, profile-based certificate lifecycles, customized certificates, and more.
Customizable
Fits the most complex environments. Use Axiad Certificate Authority to provide highly secure certificates at scale and everywhere needed – including partner, vendor, and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) machines. Experienced Professional Services staff with deep PKI expertise are available to assist with customization and deployment. Discovery of non-Axiad created certificates is available via integrations with Venafi and AppViewX.
Simplified Operations
Offloads resource-intensive PKI setup, management, and maintenance. Cloud-based operations provide maximum flexibility and scalability with Axiad providing the underlying infrastructure maintenance and support. There is no software to install or maintain. Designed to make migration from on-premises PKI straightforward while increasing security, improving operational efficiency and lowering costs.
Enhanced Security
Each customer accesses their own dedicated virtual private cloud. Encryption keys are stored using a Hardware Security Module (HSM) for added security. For Federal government customers, Axiad Conductor is available in a customized, FedRAMP Ready, cloud instance.
Related Use Cases by Industry
Financial Services
By authenticating every device and every user, a number of highly lethal attack vectors are blocked from the start. Authenticating third party devices and users along with BYOD minimizes the attack surface. Axiad Conductor helps meet all compliance standards such as ISO/IEC 27002.
Healthcare
Expand treatment options by authenticating devices, minimizing end user friction, and streamlining compliance overhead. A credential lifecycle management tool helps meet healthcare compliance standards such as HIPAA and CMMC.
Government
Federal agencies can uniquely address government needs such as interim and non-PIV authentication, all in compliance or in advance of OMB, NIST, and CISA requirements and guidelines.
