As enterprises adopt cloud-first strategies and digital environments, managing cryptography has become more challenging. Scattered tools and siloed teams often lead to fragmented oversight of encryption keys, secrets, and certificates—raising the risk of mismanagement. To address this,
Entrust has announced the Cryptographic Security Platform—an end-to-end solution designed to unify the management of cryptographic assets across their full lifecycle.
One Platform for a Distributed, High-Risk World
Traditionally, cryptographic management has been handled through a patchwork of tools—each solving part of the problem but lacking a complete view.
Bhagwat Swaroop, President of Digital Security at Entrust highlights that cryptographic sprawl—the uncontrolled proliferation of cryptographic tools including encryption keys, secrets, and certificates—creates a fragmented security landscape that's hard to manage.
Entrust’s platform consolidates public key infrastructure (PKI), secrets management, and certificate lifecycle functions into one system, helping IT, security, and DevOps teams maintain governance across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Swaroop adds, "Amid a perfect storm of security challenges including AI-driven cyber threats, complex regulatory requirements, and rapidly expanding cryptographic estates, Entrust’s Cryptographic Security Platform (CSP) empowers users to navigate the evolving digital landscape and manage their cryptography with confidence."
From a centralized dashboard, users can monitor cryptographic assets, audit activity, and receive alerts for policy violations. The platform provides automatic risk assessments and supports enforcement of cryptographic policies across business units and geographies, helping reduce operational complexity while improving compliance and readiness.
Built for Scale, Interoperability, and Quantum Readiness
As organizations prepare for a future defined by quantum computing threats and AI-driven attacks, flexibility and resilience are key. The Entrust platform is built with a scalable architecture that supports both cloud-native deployments and on-premises models. It integrates with leading identity and IT management systems, and allows for customization via open APIs.
Support for both Entrust nShield and third-party HSMs ensures organizations can maintain cryptographic performance and compliance without overhauling their existing infrastructure. This level of interoperability is designed to future-proof security operations during one of the most critical technology shifts in decades.
Rethinking Cryptographic Strategy as a Security Foundation
With quantum disruption on the horizon and bad actors increasingly targeting cryptographic keys and certificates, reactive approaches to crypto management are no longer sufficient. Entrust’s Cryptographic Security Platform (CSP) provides a proactive framework for cryptographic governance—offering the tools enterprises need to monitor, protect, and adapt their cryptographic posture at scale.
Swaroop emphasizes that as organizations accelerate digital transformation and prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptography, they must remember that every connected device, application, and system is at risk without a secure cryptographic foundation. He adds, "CSP will enable security leaders, IT, and development organizations to manage all aspects of cryptographic security from one unified platform. The Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform integrates market-leading capabilities to deliver unified compliance management, PKI deployment and operation, lifecycle management for keys, secrets, and certificates, secured with Entrust nShield and third-party hardware security modules (HSMs), and interoperable with top security, identity, and IT management systems through extensive integrations, providing for unmatched protection."
MSSPs as trusted partners in security, compliance, and quantum-readiness
Siloed cybersecurity tools are no longer enough in a world where keys, secrets, and certificates are increasingly being targeted by AI-enhanced attacks. As the cryptographic sprawl grows, Swaroop emphasized that cybersecurity must become unified.
"Entrust’s Cryptographic Security Platform takes a revolutionary step toward this goal by enabling comprehensive visibility and manageability across the entire cryptographic estate, including public and private cloud environments, endpoints, applications, and networks," he adds.
The platform helps MSSPs strengthen data protection, improve compliance, and take initial steps toward post-quantum readiness by streamlining cryptographic deployments and offering centralized oversight of complex environments. Over time, it also supports full visibility and management of the cryptographic landscape, while maintaining the flexibility needed to evolve alongside emerging threats and technologies.
The platform will be available starting May 2025.
