Machine identity stories

Venafi introduces Firefly, the only lightweight machine identity issuer for highly distributed, cloud native environments.

During challenging business conditions, cloud projects offer much-needed opportunities for efficient growth, productivity enhancements, and greater agility.

Venafi has launched TLS Protect for Kubernetes, enabling secure management of machine identities in multi-cloud and multi-cluster Kubernetes environments.

Integration of Venafi’s control plane for machine identity management into Tanzu Service Mesh makes it easier to enable multi-cloud, multi-cluster security.

Cert-manager, the standard for TLS machine identity management in cloud native services, multi-cluster environments, achieves key maturity milestone.

Venafi's research reveals growing use of machine identities in state-sponsored cyber attacks amid increasing geopolitical tensions.

Digital transformation is driving an average of 42% annual growth in the number of machine identities, according to a new study from Venafi.

As a society, we have all individually developed significant yet quiet relationships over the past decade, many of us without even realising it.

Bots and infrastructure-as-code automation are common additions to the business landscape, and their explosion has not gone unnoticed by threat actors.

Malware attacks exploiting machine identities have doubled between 2018 and 2019, says Venafi. Machine-identity-based attacks grew eightfold in the past decade.

Despite the prolific usage of TLS certificates within organisations, many CIOs aren't concerned about security risks associated with TLS machine identities.

Fixing machine identities could save firms up to $72bn, Venafi-AIR study reveals.

These mistakes increase security risks and negatively impact the reliability and availability of business-critical network resources, Venafi has found.

Less than half of DevOps professionals believe developers always request certificates that serve as machine identities through authorised channels.

Eliminating certificate-related outages within complex, multi-tiered architectures can feel like an impossible effort.

Keyfactor & Thales team up to fortify code signing, warding off cyber threats like the ASUS hack.

These services deliver machine-identities-as-a-service to cybercriminals who wish to spoof websites, eavesdrop on encrypted traffic, perform man-in-the-middle attacks and steal sensitive data.

Cryptographic keys serve as machine identities and are the foundation of enterprise information technology systems.

The study focused on enterprise machine identity protection challenges and included responses from 350 senior IT security professionals.

As companies integrate more digital tools into their business, many of them remain unaware of the risk code-signing certificates are exposing them to.
