CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 8, 2024 —Keyfactor, the identity-first security solution for modern enterprises, today announced it has won a Global InfoSec Award in the PKIaaS category from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine. This is Keyfactor’s third consecutive year winning a Global InfoSec Award, and second consecutive year winning the Public Key Infrastructure-as-a-Service (PKIaaS) award. 

“We’re honored to be recognized by Cyber Defense Magazine as a Top Global InfoSec company for the third consecutive year,” said Jordan Rackie, CEO, Keyfactor. “PKI is critical for businesses looking to establish digital trust. Keyfactor’s 2024 PKI & Digital Trust report recently uncovered when expired certificates caused outages, nearly half of organizations felt customer confidence (48%) and brand reputation would be impacted, with 37% reporting revenue loss. Now more than ever, organizations must turn to qualified partners to ensure the right tools are in place to properly secure and manage machine identities. I am proud of the Keyfactor team for their commitment to advancing our innovative approach to PKI through our recognized EJBCA® Enterprise technology.”

Cloud-based infrastructures, the increasingly connected world, and the advancement of quantum computing have heightened the need for PKI management. Yet, nearly all organizations (93%) experience challenges with setting an effective PKI and certificate management strategy. Keyfactor’s EJBCA® Enterprise provides a new approach to PKI that utilizes end-to-end machine identity management with flexible and highly scalable certificate issuance and automated deployment of machine identities across complex enterprise and emerging IoT and operational technology use cases. With EJBCA® Enterprise, Keyfactor combines expert-run PKI-as-a-Service and certificate lifecycle automation into a single, cloud-delivered solution to automotive keys and certificates at scale. 

“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime. Keyfactor is absolutely worthy of this coveted award and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
