In brief: With Keyfactor’s expanded solution stack, you can identify, prioritize, and remediate risks across all your cryptographic assets – faster and with greater confidence.
One question I hear more and more from CISOs, developers, and security leaders is this: “Are we at the cryptographic crossroads?” My answer is simple – yes, and we’ve been here longer than most realize.
Cryptography has quietly become one of the biggest risk factors in enterprise security. It’s everywhere – TLS connections, IoT devices, software code, hardware – but most organizations can’t see the full picture. And if you can’t see it, you can’t manage it.
That lack of visibility leads to real consequences. I’ve seen teams caught off guard by expired certificates, outages from broken trust chains, and vulnerabilities from outdated algorithms – issues that compliance auditors and attackers are both quick to spot.
Add in mounting regulatory pressure and the not-so-distant reality of quantum computing, and it’s clear: cryptographic risk isn’t some far-off concern. It’s a business-critical challenge we have to solve right now.
Welcoming InfoSec Global and CipherInsights
Today, I’m thrilled to announce that Keyfactor has acquired:
- InfoSec Global, the leader in cryptographic posture management, and
- CipherInsights, a breakthrough in network-based cryptographic discovery from Quantum Xchange.
The first step to quantum-readiness is to find, assess, and prioritize risks. Today’s big announcement means we can now help you earlier in your cryptographic journey – with discovery, visibility, and remediation before quantum is even in play.
It’s a game-changing evolution for our platform and our customers.
Why We’re Expanding Our Vision
At Keyfactor, we’ve always focused on helping organizations secure digital identities – issuing, managing, and automating the certificates that keep businesses running securely.
But today, the challenge goes deeper. It’s no longer just about certificate lifecycle management. It’s about gaining complete visibility into all cryptographic assets – before something breaks, before a breach, before quantum.
That’s why we’re shifting left on cryptographic risk – helping teams discover and assess cryptography earlier in the security lifecycle, not just at the end. This proactive approach cuts cost, reduces complexity, and strengthens trust from the start.
Driving Digital Trust Forward
Keyfactor has been at the forefront of defining digital trust in our hyper-connected world. We take pride in setting the standards for what a vendor should offer in order to say they enable digital trust.
First, it was: If you manage certificates, you should be able to issue them, too. The PrimeKey merger in 2021 made us the first to unify certificate issuance and lifecycle management. It brought together two companies with deep cryptographic roots and a shared commitment to customer success. At the time, we envisioned a future where we could offer even more value through expanded capabilities and continued growth.
That time is here, and we’re raising the bar again by saying: If you manage and issue certificates, you should also manage the cryptography behind them.
With the additions of InfoSec Global and CipherInsights, we’re taking the next leap: moving beyond lifecycle management into full-spectrum cryptographic discovery, governance, and modernization. And we’re doing it with the same relentless focus we’ve had from the beginning – helping our customers stay ahead of what’s next.
What This Means for Our Customers
With these acquisitions, Keyfactor now offers something truly unique:
360° visibility and control over cryptography – from code to cloud to network.
Our customers can now:
- Discover hidden and unmanaged cryptographic assets
- Automate lifecycle management and enforce cryptographic policies at scale
- Modernize for post-quantum readiness across their digital infrastructure
A Strategic Move with Lasting Impact
This expansion is a direct response to what we’re hearing from CISOs, developers, and regulators alike:
Cryptography is critical, and it must be managed as a core business asset.
Here’s why this move matters:
- Product-Market Fit: We’re delivering what the market urgently needs—cryptographic discovery and governance
- Unified Tech Stack: Discovery meets automation meets modernization
- Market Differentiation: No one else goes this deep into cryptographic observability
- Cross-Sell Opportunities: The use cases are multiplying across every industry
- Quantum Leadership: We’re not waiting for quantum – we’re building for it now
The Road Ahead: Future-Proofing Digital Trust
This is a bold, strategic leap – and one I believe the industry has been waiting for.
By bringing together the sharpest minds and most advanced technologies in cryptographic discovery and automation, we’re giving enterprises exactly what they need: the visibility, control, and confidence to take on tomorrow’s risks without hesitation.
I believe that every organization should know what cryptography they use, where it lives, and how to keep it secure. With these additions, we’re making that possible – at scale, across every layer of your enterprise.
Keyfactor is the definitive leader in helping organizations get ahead of cryptographic risk and take command of the quantum future.
What makes this moment even more exciting is not just the technology – it’s the people. We’re proud to have some of the industry’s most respected subject matter experts, and this acquisition brings even more to the table. These are category-defining thinkers and trailblazers who’ve helped shape how the world understands and manages crypto risk. Their insights and experience will be instrumental as we continue to define this space and execute on our long-term vision. I’m genuinely excited to welcome them to the team and to integrate our collective expertise.
