Managed PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is a service where a third-party provider handles the complex setup, operation, and maintenance of an organization's digital certificate management, offering a streamlined, often cloud-based way to issue, renew, and revoke digital IDs for users, devices, and applications, reducing internal burden and ensuring security without needing deep PKI expertise in-house. It simplifies certificate lifecycle management (CLM) and ensures secure, scalable digital identity, letting businesses focus on core functions.
Building your own PKI is expensive and resource-intensive. Managed PKI gives you the power of a private CA with the ease of a cloud service. It allows you to secure everything from IoT devices to employee mobile, email, and VPN access, without the headache of maintaining root keys and hardware security modules (HSMs).
