PKI Spotlight^® Wins 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Award for Detection

We’re proud to announce that PKI Spotlight has been named a winner in the Detection category at the 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards, hosted by the Business Intelligence Group. This recognition affirms our commitment to advancing visibility and operational resilience in some of the most overlooked areas of cybersecurity—Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and cryptographic hardware.

“Cybersecurity isn’t just a technology issue—it’s a trust issue,” said Russ Fordyce, CEO of the Business Intelligence Group. PKI Spotlight was selected as a leader not just for its capabilities, but for redefining what’s possible in enterprise-grade cryptographic observability.

What Sets PKI Spotlight Apart

PKI Spotlight is the first and only solution purpose-built for PKI security posture monitoring. It provides real-time visibility across your entire PKI environment—covering certificate authorities (CAs), templates, revocation configurations, misconfigurations, and known threat exposures. Organizations that rely on PKI to secure identity, devices, email, and network access often don’t realize how invisible their infrastructure truly is—until something breaks. PKI Spotlight changes that.

With proactive alerts, actionable remediation guidance, and integration-ready telemetry, PKI Spotlight allows teams to see and fix what traditional CLM tools and static assessments can’t.

Industry-First: Multi-Vendor HSM Monitoring

In 2025, we expanded that visibility into a new frontier: Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).

Organizations often deploy HSMs from multiple vendors, like Thales (Luna) and Entrust (nCipher), to secure cryptographic operations. Yet until now, there has been no unified way to monitor them. The latest PKI Spotlight release introduces the industry’s first multi-vendor HSM monitoring capability.

Why this matters:

• Unified monitoring across vendors: One platform to monitor Thales, Entrust, and other HSMs.

• Real-time health checks: Detect degraded performance, partition failures, or firmware mismatches.

• PKI and non-PKI support – Monitor HSMs used in key vaults, signing systems, or app security, regardless of PKI linkage.

• Compliance and configuration insight – Quickly identify drift across environments before it becomes an outage or audit failure.

This is a category-defining advancement. Where others offer fragmented tools and reactive triage, PKI Spotlight brings predictive, cross-domain insight into the heart of cryptographic infrastructure.

Thank You to Our Team

This award is a direct reflection of the PKI Solutions team—engineers, architects, and support staff who deeply understand the operational and security challenges of enterprise PKI. Their commitment to building the tools we wish we had in the field drives innovation in PKI Spotlight.

See What You’re Missing

Most organizations don’t know what’s happening inside their PKI—and that’s the real risk. Whether running on ADCS, managing hybrid cloud workloads, or securing sensitive environments with HSMs, PKI Spotlight shows you what traditional tools can’t.
