HID PKIaaS

PRODUCT

Venafi and HID PKIaaS work together to automate the full lifecycle of digital certificates issued by HID Global’s cloud-based certificate authority, giving organizations centralized control and policy enforcement over their machine identities.

SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS

  • Cloud-based certificate authority issue private and publicly trusted TLS certificates from HID’s multi-tenant PKI-as-a-Service without operating your own CA infrastructure
  • Automated lifecycle management discover, request, issue, renew and revoke certificates through Venafi’s orchestration engine
  • Consistent policy enforcement apply Venafi policies to certificate templates offered by HID PKIaaS to ensure only authorized certificates are issued
  • Reduced risk of outages eliminate manual effort and prevent breaches or downtime caused by expired or unmanaged certificates

SOLUTION OVERVIEW

Venafi’s machine identity management platform connects to HID PKIaaS as a certificate authority, adding it as a CA template object so certificates can be requested and managed automatically. The HID PKIaaS account is prepared for automated access by obtaining a Web Service Signing Certificate (Web API certificate), registering the IP addresses of the Certificate Manager, Self-Hosted servers, and associating the signing certificate with those addresses. Venafi then selects the certificate templates and policies exposed by the HID PKIaaS web service, extending its visibility and automation across every certificate issued by HID’s cloud CA.
