Expand your Security with PKI
Posted: Jan 08, 2024
Robust security is no longer a luxury but a fundamental pillar of organizational success. Yet, many organizations still rely on aging Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems, leaving them vulnerable to evolving threats and inefficiencies. You can expand your Security with PKI and secure your sensitive data and ensuring seamless digital interactions. We’ll delve into seven compelling reasons why modernizing your PKI is no longer just a good idea but a critical step towards elevating your security posture and future-proofing your operations.
Understanding PKI
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a comprehensive framework that utilizes asymmetric cryptography to secure digital communication over public networks. It involves using cryptographic keys comprising public and private key pairs to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. PKI functions through a system of digital certificates issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). These certificates act as digital IDs, binding an individual’s or entity’s identity to their public key. The public key is used for encryption and is widely distributed, while the private key, known only to the entity, is used for decryption. PKI is critical for ensuring secure transactions, data exchange, and communication in the digital space. It achieves this by creating a reliable system for managing cryptographic keys and authentication, establishing trust in the digital environment.
Reasons to Modernize Your PKI
Risks of Outdated PKI
Meet Regulatory Standards
Stronger Authentication and Access
Agility and Scalability
Cost-Efficient Security
Better User Experience
Integration with New Tech
Encryption Consulting’s Managed PKI
Encryption Consulting will completely offload your organization’s Public Key Infrastructure environment, which means we will build the PKI infrastructure to lead and manage the PKI environment (on-premises, PKI in the cloud, cloud-based hybrid PKI infrastructure).
Encryption Consulting will deploy and support your PKI using a fully developed and tested set of procedures and audited processes. Admin rights to your Active Directory will not be required, and control over your PKI and its associated business processes will always remain with you. Furthermore, for security reasons, the CA keys will be held in FIPS140-2 Level 3 HSMs hosted in your secure data center or our Encryption Consulting data center in Dallas, Texas.
How Encryption Consulting Can Help
Encryption Consulting is a consulting company that protects your organization from outside attackers. We offer many services, including certificate and key management, PKI assessment, design, implementation, PKI, and AWS training. Our encryption assessments help you identify any weaknesses in your network. At the same time, we design a roadmap to implement fixes for the security gaps, and we can help implement that roadmap. We can also help you implement and test your Disaster Recovery plan to ensure that no steps are missed, and you are fully protected from malware like Ransomware.
Conclusion
As technology continues to evolve, upgrading your PKI is not just a wise move; it’s necessary to safeguard sensitive data and stay competitive. With proactive measures, you protect your assets and set the stage for sustained growth.
