A German IT security manufacturer releases the new version of the TrustManagementAppliance. The PKI and key management solution provides certificate lifecycle management capabilities.
A completely revised and redesigned user interface makes operation more intuitive and easier. Guided dialogs and wizards, for example, make it easier to create and manage certificates. This is particularly beneficial for administrators who only need to access the platform, which usually runs in the background, occasionally. Other innovations include additional programming interfaces for connecting third-party systems, a self-service portal for users and expanded options for connecting to external CAs (certificate authorities). The solution is currently in the approval process at the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for use with data at security level VS-NfD.
Protected communication
The TrustManagementAppliance covers all functions related to the generation, rollout and validation of certificates. Keys and certificates can be easily created, managed, distributed and verified. The solution can therefore form a basis for trustworthy IT infrastructures, for example in areas such as automation technology, measurement and control technology, embedded systems and microtechnology. The focus is particularly on the IoT and Industry 4.0 environment. Here it is often necessary that numerous small devices - down to the level of sensors - can communicate with each other securely and protected from manipulation.
The managed certificates create the basis for secure machine identities. This enables reliable protection against cyberattacks and espionage and compliance with regulatory requirements such as NIS-2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The solution can be flexibly connected to a wide variety of existing systems via interfaces, including production systems, IoT management solutions or IAM systems (Identity & Access Management).
