VICTORIA, British Columbia, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KeyNexus Inc., the leader in unified key management (UKM), an approach to encryption key management that allows enterprises to leverage a single, centralized approach to serve all their encryption needs, announced today that they launched the industry's first KMIP key management as-a-service (KMaaS) offering, allowing businesses of all sizes to take advantage of encryption where the open standard KMIP has been adopted.
Since 2010, the key management interoperability protocol (KMIP) has simplified the way companies manage cryptographic keys, eliminating redundant and incompatible key management systems. Many vendors that embed encryption into their products, such as a wide array of storage vendors, also adopt a KMIP client to allow their customers to externally manage their keys. However, it's up to the customer to procure an external KMIP-enabled key management server (KMS) to employ the functionality.
"Several key industries are moving towards KMIP and KeyNexus is enabling this growth by making KMIP accessible to business of all sizes, regardless of how they want to consume such a technology," said Jeff MacMillan, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at KeyNexus.
"We recognized that while open standards like KMIP are instrumental to future proofing encryption deployment, it's often inaccessible to smaller organizations that want the simplicity of cloud-based solutions. By delivering the industry's first KMIP server as-a-service we are opening the doors wide to organizations that want to take advantage of the built-in encryption services available across technology products such as storage systems, databases and leading virtualization platforms."
KeyNexus' KMIP KMaaS provides users full control of the key management lifecycle. Whether users want to take advantage of a simple use case like VM encryption or have many different encryption workflows, KeyNexus provides a versatile and powerful key management platform that supports both KMIP and a comprehensive RESTFUL API. KeyNexus allows users to keep key management under one, single interface for ease of administration.
