Why Customers Love PKI Spotlight

PKI Spotlight is unique as there is nothing in the market that focuses solely on PKI, and we were able to quickly see the value.

PKI is foundational and a cornerstone technology, and we anticipate that the dependency on PKI services will only increase over time. PKI Spotlight helps us introduce resiliency in our identity and encryption infrastructure and stay ahead of situations that can cause disruption to our business.  Now we have a centralized view of status, configurations, and events. With Notifications and alerts, all stakeholders that are dependent on the PKI will have visibility into the operational status. It also frees our team to focus on high-value tasks critical to risk reduction.”

—Senior IT Security Analyst

PKI Spotlight gives us productivity gains and peace of mind that our PKI systems are available and functional, and any service that relies on our PKI operates smoothly and securely.

Part of our strategy is to work with vendors who are top-notch in their respective areas. With PKI Solutions we get the best-in-class PKI expertise and PKI Spotlight is an important addition to our portfolio of products.

Over time we expect our reliance on the PKI environment to increase and having a product like PKI Spotlight means that we can reliably execute on initiatives that continue to improve our security posture.”
