Launching a new platform

The company has recently unveiled its latest innovation: the Post-Quantum Ready PKI-as-a-Service (PKIaaS PQ) platform. This new addition to Entrust's cloud-based PKI-as-a-Service offering introduces both composite and pure quantum-safe certificate authority hierarchies. This empowers customers to explore or deploy quantum-safe scenarios and infrastructure, distinguishing it as one of the pioneering commercially available platforms in this domain.

The Entrust PKIaaS, built upon more than 25 years of Entrust PKI expertise and ingenuity, is a cloud-native service designed to streamline PKI enterprise setup and management. It offers pre-configured, ready-to-use certificate solutions, including WSTEP, ACME, SCEP, and a wide range of mobile device management (MDM) solutions. Additionally, the architecture of Entrust PKIaaS simplifies on-demand scalability by minimising reliance on on-premises services, applications, and software. Seamlessly integrating into existing workflows and applications, it delivers visibility, control, and automation through a unified interface, alongside public SSL/TLS management via the cloud platform.
