LONDON, November 7, 2023, — Keyfactor, the machine and IoT identity platform for modern enterprises, today announced a strategic partnership with e92plus, the leading independent cybersecurity VAD in the UK, to expand its partner network and help more organizations embrace identity-first security and protect their IoT and connected devices.

A report conducted by Vanson Bourne on behalf of Keyfactor reveals that 97% of organizations are struggling to secure their IoT and connected products to some degree. The new partnership introduces Keyfactor’s market-leading PKI and machine identity management solutions to e92plus’ extensive partner community of VARs, MSPs/MSSPs, and CSPs. This empowers partners to address the cybersecurity challenges in IT, IoT, and OT while offering best-of-breed PKI and machine identity management solutions to modern enterprises across the UK.

“There’s huge demand from the partner community for identity-first security solutions that enable digital transformation,” said Joe Tong, Senior Vice President of Global Channel Sales, Keyfactor. “e92plus is a leading cybersecurity partner for the UK channel. Teaming up with e92plus, leveraging its comprehensive technology portfolio and extensive partner ecosystem, is key to extending our partner network to help more organizations establish digital trust at scale. This partnership is a significant step towards helping Keyfactor achieve and sustain accelerated growth”

By partnering with e92plus, Keyfactor will gain increased access to customers across the UK and Ireland, who want to free themselves from the manual effort, expense, and risk associated with deploying and maintaining PKI infrastructure.

“We are always looking for the next disruptive technology to bring to market, and we’re excited to be partnering with Keyfactor,” explains Mukesh Gupta, CEO at e92plus. “Addressing the challenges around PKI, certificate, and device identity is central to organisations implementing a robust cybersecurity posture, especially with the rise of IoT and OT devices being part of corporate networks. Keyfactor helps address that and represents a great opportunity for our partners to expand their offering with a channel-first vendor.”

This is the latest in a string of recent momentum news for the company. In October, Keyfactor announced it secured a significant minority investment from Sixth Street Growth, the growth investing platform of Sixth Street, at an enterprise value of approximately $1.3 billion. Prior to that, Keyfactor was named to the 2023 Inc. 5000 list and recognized as America’s fastest-growing PKI and cryptography leader.
