Security News > 2022 > January > When protecting and managing digital identities, orchestration and automation are critical

The proven approach in the market today is with digital certificates, which leverage PKI. In fact, some of the best authentication mechanisms leverage digital certificates at their core.

In this case, when leveraging digital certificates as a baseline for human and machine identities, digital certificates must be provisioned to users and devices, and ultimately, orchestrated and automated.

Full visibility into all digital certificates means that even the largest enterprises can have a centralized view of digital identities and security processes.

All businesses must focus on certificate management as a means to protect all identities for humans and machines.

While automation alleviates some human and machine identity management challenges, as they increasingly become rooted in digital certificates, the complexity of certificate management doesn't end there.

Being 'certificate agnostic' means that a solution allows businesses to manage every certificate and digital identity in their organizations, no matter what CA it came from.
