Managed Services PKI

Save money. Increase efficiency.

More and more government and commercial organizations view public key infrastructure – commonly known as PKI – and digital certificates as a prerequisite for transferring high-value transactions and sensitive information online. With digital certificates as part of an IT layered security strategy, organizations can confidently secure applications such as Adobe® PDF, Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® Outlook® and solve even the most difficult security challenges.

But what if some organizations desire a method to do this quickly, with predictable up-front costs and without the need for in-house PKI expertise? With the Entrust Authority PKI portfolio, Entrust provides a strong native PKI or the choice to leverage the convenience of Entrust's hosted Managed Services PKI. A standard in-house PKI is the smart choice for many organizations, but others require the ability to harness this technology without buying, establishing or operating an in-house certification authority (CA). Entrust Managed Services PKI is the smart solution.

The Fast, Efficient Way to PKI
Organizations can quickly secure applications with digital certificates without requiring internal PKI expertise or investment in secure physical facilities. Focus your efforts on maximizing efficiency and offering more products and services. Allow Entrust to instill security and confidence.

A Layered Defense
PKI is a component of a layered security model, and Entrust Managed Services PKI protects identities and information at multiple points within an organization. Many off-the-shelf commercial applications, including email, desktop folders, remote access (VPN) and electronic forms, are PKI-enabled, making deployment of digital certificates simple and straightforward.

  • Digitally sign and encrypt electronic forms and PDFs to provide assurance of a document's content origin and privacy. Convert paper-based processes into secure online submissions and distribute forms electronically to customers, partners and employees.
  • Encrypt and sign email using clients such as Microsoft® Outlook® to protect private information inside and outside organizational boundaries, ensure regulatory compliance and provide identity theft protection. Data encrypted and/or digitally signed at the sender's desktop remains protected throughout its journey to the recipient's desktop.
  • Leverage desktop security to protect sensitive information from theft, loss, tampering and corruption wherever it may reside – locally, remotely or in transit. Tight integration with native Microsoft Windows® security architecture offers enterprise application security that is easy to deploy and manage.
  • Establish secure remote access (VPN) to safely connect your mobile workforce, remote and branch offices, as well as connections to partners and clients.
