Entrust, a provider of identity-centric security solutions, today announced the launch of PKI Hub, providing enterprise visibility, management, and automation for cryptographic assets in an all-in-one, container-based virtual appliance that can be simply deployed at scale in the cloud or on premises.
Entrust PKI Hub is a comprehensive, high-performance solution comprising all the components required to operate a secure, post-quantum-ready PKI, protect a wide range of applications, and expand on demand. Deployed as a pre-packaged virtual appliance, PKI Hub enables customers to streamline PKI and certificate lifecycle management (CLM) while providing enterprises the flexibility to scale across their local and cloud environments.
"Over the past 25 years, PKI has evolved to play a critical role across a wide range of applications—from the cloud and edge networks to IoT, modern citizen identities, and digital signatures," said Michael Klieman, Global Vice President of Digital Security Product Management at Entrust. “However, as PKI use widens and becomes more complex, organizations are challenged to assign clear ownership and responsibility for managing their cryptographic assets, which, left unmanaged, can lead to vulnerabilities, unplanned outages, and compliance risk. The Entrust PKI Hub provides enterprises visibility to control, manage, and automate PKI in these new contexts and enables organizations to strengthen their security posture and infrastructure.”
Entrust PKI Hub includes the following components:
- High-throughput certificate authority—A robust, scalable, secure solution for issuing digital certificates to ensure trusted identities across your organization.
- Certificate lifecycle management—Helping discover all the users’ and machines’ digital identities across an organization from multiple CAs, including comprehensive automation capabilities, and providing a simple and intuitive “single pane of glass” view.
- Enrollment services—A registration authority module for automated certificate enrollments and renewals—support all major industry protocols.
- Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)—Real-time certificate validation via OCSP, supporting third-party CA status checking.
- Timestamping—Ensuring enhanced security and trustworthiness for your digital identities with verifiable, RFC3161-compliant timestamping of digital transactions and documents
- RESTful API (Entrust CA Gateway)—A powerful interface that enables full certificate lifecycle management, reporting, trust policy, and operational management to the PKI Hub CA and third-party CAs.
- Management console—A centralized interface for deployment, configuration, and monitoring of all PKI Hub components—simplifies and streamlines management tasks for IT teams.
