Read full description
The primary clients are enterprises of all sizes, across various sectors, that need to secure their digital assets and communications. The business model is likely based on a subscription or licensing fee for access to their platform and services. By simplifying and automating certificate management, Keyfactor helps its clients prevent security breaches, service outages, and failed compliance audits that can result from expired or mismanaged certificates.
The company has expanded its capabilities through acquisitions, such as InfoSec Global and CipherInsights, to enhance its crypto-agility and cryptographic asset visibility. This allows clients to not only manage their current PKI but also to discover and analyze all cryptographic assets across their environment, preparing them for future cryptographic challenges.
