As organizations seek to transform their operations, their digital footprint continues to expand. As we shift from traditional information technology (IT) to more dynamic workloads in the cloud and at the edge, the number of machines is growing at an exponential rate. Today, these machine identities include everything from connected Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices to software-defined applications, cloud workloads, virtual machines, containers and even the code running on them.
With the proliferation of devices, today’s enterprises face increasing security and compliance challenges as they struggle to manage their growing machine identity landscape. This includes protecting their machine identities, cryptographic keys and digital certificates.
