Keyfactor announced it has acquired
InfoSec Global, a leader in cryptographic posture management, and
CipherInsights,
an advanced cryptographic discovery solution by Quantum Xchange. These
strategic acquisitions position Keyfactor as the leader in digital trust
and quantum readiness, bringing together the most comprehensive
solutions to discover and inventory cryptographic assets with automated
certificate lifecycle management and quantum-ready PKI and signing
solutions.
"These
acquisitions mark a major leap forward in securing digital trust," said
Jordan Rackie, CEO, Keyfactor. "We're uniting the best of the best -
the most advanced discovery capabilities for cryptographic assets at
rest and in motion, the most powerful automation for remediation and
quantum transitions, and the most scalable certificate issuance and
signing solutions. Together, we're giving organizations a seamless path
to uncover and fix today's cryptographic risks and get ahead of
tomorrow's quantum threats. At Keyfactor, we've led the way in defining
what a digital trust provider should deliver - first by saying that if
you manage certificates, you should be able to issue them too. Now,
we're raising the bar again: if you issue and manage certificates, you
should also manage the cryptography behind them."
Cryptography
is the foundation of digital trust, powering secure connections across
every device, workload, and application. Yet, most organizations lack
visibility into where cryptographic assets reside, who manages them, and
how they're secured, leaving them vulnerable to outages, breaches, and
compliance risks. As the shift to quantum-safe cryptography looms, the
need for visibility and control over their cryptographic risks has never
been more urgent. With these acquisitions, Keyfactor is addressing the
critical gap in cryptographic observability, helping organizations take
control of their non-human identities and prepare for the next era of
secure infrastructure.
Expanded Capabilities Deliver Deep Crypto Discovery, Real-Time Risk Monitoring, and Quantum-Safe Readiness
With
its acquisitions of InfoSec Global and CipherInsights, Keyfactor is
expanding its solutions with powerful discovery, monitoring, and risk
management capabilities. These enhancements empower organizations to
uncover hidden cryptographic assets, continuously monitor encryption
health across their networks, and accelerate their transition to a
quantum-safe security posture, all within a single, consolidated
solution.
These
new additions work together to help organizations discover
vulnerabilities, modernize cryptography, and maintain continuous
crypto-agility:
AgileSec Analytics
AgileSec
Analytics delivers deep discovery of cryptographic assets across
devices, source code, binaries, file systems, applications, cloud
workloads, and more. It uncovers hidden cryptographic objects and
prioritizes quantum-vulnerable algorithms, mapping them against risk
factors and regulatory requirements.
AgileSec Agility
AgileSec
Agility is an advanced cryptographic agility solution that enables
enterprises to centrally manage and update cryptographic assets within
applications-without modifying source code. It supports seamless
integration of current, post-quantum, and future cryptographic standards
across diverse IT environments.
CipherInsights
CipherInsights
is a lightweight network sensor that passively monitors traffic in real
time to surface cryptographic risks. It detects weak or outdated
protocols, self-signed certificates, unencrypted traffic, and more.
Built-in compliance templates for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and other standards
streamline reporting and regulatory adherence.
Customer Advantage: End-to-End Visibility, Intelligence, and Automated Remediation for a Quantum-Safe Future
As
organizations grapple with growing cryptographic complexity and looming
quantum threats, customers will benefit from enhanced capabilities that
will empower security teams to take control of their cryptographic
landscape. These include:
- Comprehensive Visibility: Expanded
discovery and inventory into cryptographic keys, protocols,
crypto-libraries, and algorithms in use provides organizations with 360º
visibility of their cryptographic landscape, enabling continuous
discovery and monitoring of all cryptographic assets.
- Actionable Intelligence: Cryptographic
risk posture assessments provide security and GRC teams with risk-based
insights to proactively identify vulnerabilities, including insecure
keys, compromised certificates, and unencrypted traffic.
- Risk Remediation: Seamless
integration with Keyfactor Command enables quick action on identified
risks through automated migration of certificates to quantum-safe
standards. Teams can also generate audit reports required by PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, zero-trust frameworks, and other compliance requirements.
"The
combination of InfoSec Global and Keyfactor enables us to execute our
vision of delivering the end-to-end cryptographic posture management
platform to customers and partners," said Nagy Moustafa, CEO and
co-founder of InfoSec Global. "As enterprises confront the dual
challenge of post-quantum readiness and constantly evolving compliance
demands, our combined strengths offer the visibility and agility needed
to take control of their cryptographic future. We're excited to embark
on this next chapter alongside the Keyfactor team."
This
news comes amid a broader rebound in cybersecurity M&A activity,
particularly in cryptography and PKI, as organizations seek
comprehensive, integrated solutions to meet evolving digital trust
challenges. The trend toward consolidation is expected to accelerate in
2025, with enterprises prioritizing partners that offer a holistic range
of cryptographic and security capabilities.
