Cloud certificate management (Cloud PKI)
Cloud PKI offers several advantages over traditional on-premises PKI. Cloud PKI provides the following benefits:
- Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): Cloud PKI eliminates the need for expensive hardware and software, reducing the overall cost of ownership. Reduces on-premises CA workload and operations (patching and maintaining servers, etc.).
- Increased security: Cloud PKI providers have the expertise and resources to ensure the security of the infrastructure, which is often more secure than on-premises solutions.
- Easier certificate management: Cloud PKI solutions offer a centralized platform for certificate management, making it easier to manage certificates across multiple domains.
- Less complex: With a cloud-based infrastructure, you do not need to implement and secure a Simple Certificate Enrolment Protocol (SCEP) server as is it built into the solution. No need for a reverse proxy (Entra application proxy or...
