PKI is becoming a critical underpinning to help organizations succeed as they roll out new digital business models. Establishing a trusted infrastructure through PKI will help businesses take smart risks, evolve quickly and manage relationships with customers, partners, vendors and employees more effectively.
The rapid rise of digital business is moving public key infrastructure (PKI) into the spotlight. Once commonly viewed as a deep-weeds technology reserved for niche applications, PKI is now emerging as a core technology for securing cloud, mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.
Public key infrastructure (PKI) is the foundation of today’s enterprise security. But most PKI lacks central visibility, consistent processes, and refresh progress validation. This leads to errors and missed system updates that result in policy violations and costly business interruptions. You can solve these issues with a PKI refresh that delivers automated key and certificate security and management.

Certificate management is a crucial part of a robust PKI implementation, ensuring visibility and adherence to policy throughout the certificate lifecycle: from identity vetting, to issuance, to renewal to revocation. As Gartner noted in its recent report, “PKI is Gearing Up for the Internet of Things”
Advanced key and certificate management enables the use of digital credentials even in the most demanding of security environments. Such solutions enable users, regardless of whether they are internal or external to their network, to benefit from both basic and enhanced capabilities in a consistent and secure manner.
This document was created to assist organizations in the selection of the best PKI solution to meet their business and security needs. It outlines key questions to be considered during the selection process to ensure the aforementioned requirements are addressed. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list.

Introduction
In years past, device functionality was enough to sell most embedded products without much concern for cybersecurity. Of course there were exceptions, such as in critical infrastructure, aviation, and military, for which security was always of importance. But today’s environment has evolved on several fronts. First, organizations across nearly all markets are demanding Internet connectivity to monitor and control devices as well as to aggregate and analyze data. Second, the magnitude of security threats has exploded, driven by highly sophisticated hackers including organized criminal gangs seeking financial returns, creating a constantly evolving threat landscape. Third, the increasingly complex nature of connected systems makes them ever more challenging to protect. The more complex a system, the more potential vulnerabilities it may contain. And fourth, the data generated by connected devices represent an asset that is becoming increasingly valuable for organizations to derive insigh
This case study illustrates how this government agency that employs over 100,000 people and delivers more than $140 billion in public services annually was able to replace a dated system and enable remote access to securely authenticate users logging into internal corporate websites and email accounts.
