CyberTrust Consulting vs Keyfactor

About Keyfactor

Keyfactor sells products that give security teams visibility and control over the identities and cryptography that secure every digital interaction. Keyfactor is building the Trust Control Plane, a system architected to observe, govern, and orchestrate the cryptographic identities and infrastructure that secure every digital interaction. Keyfactor designs cryptography, builds the systems that run it, and helps shape the policies that govern it. Keyfactor states that machine identities and cryptography encrypt data, verify trust, and authenticate every connection.^[6]

Keyfactor offers continuous discovery and observation of cryptographic assets across an environment, all in one place. Keyfactor issues identities for every machine, workload, and AI agent with a quantum-ready PKI. Keyfactor orchestrates certificate lifecycles with end-to-end automation. Keyfactor maintains certifications and compliance with regulatory and security frameworks.

Keyfactor AgileSec helps discover cryptography, understand where it is used, and identify hidden vulnerabilities. Keyfactor AgileSec continuously discovers cryptographic assets across systems, endpoints, networks, cloud environments, and code repositories. Keyfactor AgileSec detects TLS certificates, SSH keys, tokens, algorithms, protocols, and cryptographic libraries across file systems, networks, infrastructure, and cloud environments. Keyfactor AgileSec deploys sensors to scan code, servers, endpoints, cloud workloads, and real-time network traffic, or it can use existing EDR and vulnerability management tools. Keyfactor AgileSec is offered as AgileSec SaaS, hosted by Keyfactor, or as a self-hosted deployment.^[7]

Keyfactor lets organizations centrally define which algorithms are used by each application and enforce them through secure policies. Keyfactor supports prioritizing and planning PQC migration efforts and continually monitoring their status. Keyfactor checks for compliance gaps against industry standards such as NIST and ANSSI and regulations such as GDPR and PCI-DSS.^[7][8]

Keyfactor Command is a Certificate Lifecycle Management tool that gives visibility and control over certificates via integration with every CA in every environment. Keyfactor Command is the observe and orchestrate layer of Keyfactor’s trust control plane. Keyfactor Command finds every certificate, including hybrid and PQ certificates, using real-time CA synchronization, network scanning, and agent-based or agentless discovery of key and trust stores. Keyfactor Command supports role-based permissions that control what users and groups can see and do, with approvals and workflows for enrollment and revocation. Keyfactor Command provides programmatic or self-service certificate enrollment via a portal or REST API. Keyfactor Command uses modular orchestrators to provision certificates directly to network endpoints, load balancers, servers, and cloud workloads. Keyfactor Command can be deployed on-prem, in the cloud, in a Kubernetes cluster, and combined with fully managed PKI. Keyfactor Command can be combined with a fully hosted, 24/7 managed private PKI.^[1]

Keyfactor Command for IoT provisions certificates for IoT devices from on-prem or from Keyfactor’s Cloud PKI as-a-Service platform. Keyfactor Command for IoT signs firmware and delivers over-the-air (OTA) software updates to a fleet of devices. Keyfactor Command for IoT manages encryption keys and digital certificates from generation and enrollment to provisioning, renewal, and revocation. Keyfactor Command for IoT integrates with embedded libraries such as wolfSSL and OpenSSL. Keyfactor describes embedding security in smart grids, manufacturing facilities, and energy and utilities infrastructure.^[5]

Keyfactor describes automotive OEMs and suppliers as needing to ensure that every vehicle and charging component has identity-first security from manufacturing to the end of the road. EJBCA Enterprise is a complete PKI platform for modern manufacturing environments. SignServer is an API-driven signing engine that enables signing in virtually any format to support complex manufacturing environments. Keyfactor describes running PKI in a datacenter, in the cloud, hybrid, or on the factory floor with a Local Registration Authority (RA).^{[3][5][7][8][10]}
