Venafi, a CyberArk company, is unveiling a series of new functionalities for its Control Plane for Machine Identities, the solution for standardizing machine identity management and accelerating digital transformation. Introducing enhancements designed specifically for the multi-cloud and post-quantum future, Venafi empowers organizations to manage their most critical machine identity security challenges and future-proof their businesses, according to the vendor.
The first of these innovations is newfound support for post quantum cryptography (PQC) for the latest iterations of TLS Protect and CodeSign Protect. Now supporting the NIST-approved algorithms ML-DSA and SLH-DSA, users benefit from simple PQC migration testing as well as the confidence to issue TLS certifications and sign code in adherence to a quantum-safe strategy, according to Venafi.
TLS Protect Cloud now features greater cloud-to-cloud connectivity, enabling security and platform teams to natively integrate with all major cloud providers, including AWS, Azure, and GCP. This enhancement empowers teams to easily surface and manage machine identities in any multi-cloud environment, ultimately helping to reduce complexity and costs while increasing efficiency.
Venafi’s latest workload identity federation capability allows security and developer teams to utilize custom API integration service accounts to securely access and authenticate Venafi Control Plane APIs. This eliminates the need for traditional API keys—a common target for attackers—therefore improving security posture and scalability.
Finally, Venafi is debuting an OpenShift Routes component for the Venafi Control Plane Operator, enabling Red Hat OpenShift users to lower their operational complexity while increasing security automation. By automating the lifecycle of certificates used on OpenShift Routes, enterprises benefit from reduced risk of human error, accelerated deployment, and consistently applied security measures across environments, according to Venafi.
“As today’s security landscape continues to rapidly evolve with multi-cloud and post-quantum readiness as key concerns, security professionals and developers alike are faced with new, emerging machine identity challenges every day. Organizations need a unified platform for end-to-end machine identity security that brings security and platform teams together to address all of these challenges at enterprise scale,” said Shivajee Samdarshi, chief product officer at Venafi. “Together with CyberArk, Venafi can now help organizations solve more machine identity security problems more quickly and easily—and ensure they are prepared for today and the future.”
