TLS is the industry standard protocol for securing data in transit. Two of the biggest challenges with TLS are protecting the keys and managing their certificates. TLS keys are often stored in software directly on web servers, leaving them vulnerable to compromise. For large enterprises managing many servers, this creates serious risk and makes certificate lifecycle management difficult.
With GaraSign, keys are secured in a hardware security module (HSM), rather than in software or stored locally on servers. Avoiding outages with timely rotation of certificates is greatly simplified, as all keys and certificates are centrally managed.
