Overview
Keyfactor was founded by Ted Shorter and Kevin von Keyserling in 2001 as a professional services company, working hands-on with Fortune 500 enterprises to build and deploy their public key infrastructure (PKI). In 2014, Keyfactor shifted from services to software to solve the fundamental problem of effectively managing the rapid growth of keys and digital certificates.
As more devices connect to the internet, so does the number of digital certificates, the electronic records used to authenticate online connections. Given that today’s average organization manages more than 50,000 PKI certificates, ensuring that only trusted devices and users can connect to networks is easier said than done. Keyfactor provides a new approach to certificate management – one that combines leading PKI expertise with the tools needed to discover, control, and automate keys and certificates at scale. With deep roots in PKI consulting, and as the only fully managed PKI and certificate lifecycle automation solution, Keyfactor is the only provider in the market that combines expert-run PKI as-a-Service and certificate lifecycle automation into a single, cloud-delivered solution.
Today, Keyfactor is the leader in PKI as-a-Service and crypto-agility solutions. Trusted by 500+ enterprises globally, its customers can proactively prevent outages, reduce operational risks and costs, and drive crypto-agility in emerging DevOps, Cloud, and IoT environments.
One of the features of Keyfactor’s Crypto-Agility Platform™ is the Certificate Lifecycle Automation, allowing organizations to discover, manage, and automate every certificate across the entire business, which is critical to prevent certificate-related outages. Especially as the number of keys and certificates multiplies across a business, lack of visibility and manual, error-prone processes represent huge issues for PKI, often forcing security teams to act reactively. Keyfactor’s platform allows organizations to respond proactively by providing teams with the power to protect and automate every machine identity across

In fact, organizations can reduce manual work by up to 90% with automated workflows for expiration alerts, renewals, and provisioning., By automating every certificate across the business, the platform also reduces risk by empowering organizations to respond quickly to revoke and replace weak or non-compliant keys and certificates across their infrastructure.
