Keyfactor Command Certificate Lifecycle Automation

Keyfactor is a digital trust company that helps organizations build secure, trusted connections across devices, workloads and machines. Its portfolio covers certificate lifecycle automation, private PKI (EJBCA), PKI as a service, code signing, cryptographic posture management and the Bouncy Castle cryptographic libraries, with a focus on crypto-agility and post-quantum readiness.

Keyfactor Command is the observe-and-orchestrate layer of this portfolio. It discovers TLS, client and SSH certificates through CA synchronization, network scanning and agent or agentless methods, then inventories them with metadata and search. Role-based workflows govern enrollment and revocation, while modular orchestrators renew and push certificates to servers, load balancers and cloud workloads. It runs on premises, as a hosted service, as SaaS on Azure Marketplace or on Kubernetes, for customers such as Schneider Electric, Siemens and Swisscom.

• Discovery: Finds certificates via CA sync, network scans and agent or agentless methods.
• Inventory and search: Tags certificates with custom metadata and offers a certificate search engine.
• Governance workflows: Applies role-based permissions and approvals for enrollment and revocation.
• Self-service enrollment: Provides a portal, REST API and open-source integrations for DevOps teams.
• Orchestration: Automatically renews and provisions certificates to endpoints, load balancers and cloud workloads.
• Reporting and crypto-agility: Sends alerts and reports, logs all changes and supports CA and algorithm migrations.

A Vietnamese bank can inventory and auto-renew thousands of TLS certificates on internet banking and API gateways to avoid outages. A telecom operator can automate certificates for network devices and Kubernetes workloads. A manufacturer can manage device certificates for connected factory equipment.

A Forrester Total Economic Impact study cited by the vendor reports a 356% ROI over three years. Automated discovery and renewal prevent outages from expired certificates as public TLS lifetimes shrink toward 47 days. Central inventory and audit logs simplify compliance reporting. Crypto-agility tooling eases CA migrations and the move to post-quantum algorithms.

Public TLS certificate lifetimes are being cut toward 47 days and post-quantum cryptography migration is starting, which makes manual certificate tracking unworkable. Banks, telecoms and e-government services in Vietnam and Southeast Asia rely heavily on certificates and digital signatures, increasing demand for automated lifecycle management.
