Solutions Overview (Quick Links)
IoT & OT Security (mTLS, Device Identity, Purdue‑Aware)
Identity at scale for industrial and embedded devices: ACME/EST/SCEP, offline RAs, CRL distribution for constrained networks, and zero‑trust segmentation across Purdue levels.
PKI Services (Design, CLM, Compliance, Auth & Signing)
End‑to‑end Public Key Infrastructure: offline roots, issuing CAs, CLM automation, RA workflows, FIDO2/CBA, QES/AdES & code signing, CP/CPS and evidence packs.
Generative AI Tools (Secure, On‑Prem, RAG‑Ready)
Design and deploy self‑hosted AI with secure cryptography: model governance, signed artifacts, HSM‑protected secrets, and RAG pipelines with least‑privilege access.
Cloud Migrations (Crypto & Identity in Azure/AWS/GCP)
Blueprints for hybrid/cloud PKI, KMS/HSM integrations (AKV/MHSM, AWS KMS/CloudHSM, GCP KMS), certificate automation for edge/CDN, and secrets hardening.
Key Management (EKM, BYOK, Rotation & Governance)
Centralise keys with enterprise key managers (e.g., CipherTrust Manager, HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault). Policies for creation, rotation, escrow, and retirement with full audit.
HSM Hardware (On‑Prem & Cloud HSM)
Design, sizing, and ceremonies for Thales Luna, nShield, Azure Managed HSM, AWS CloudHSM. Dual control (M of N), tamper‑evident logs, and DR procedures.
Cryptographic Audits (Discovery, Risk, Evidence)
Estate‑wide cryptography discovery: deprecated ciphers, key lifetimes, cert hygiene, expired/non‑compliant crypto, code & device risks. Evidence for auditors and remediation roadmap.
Post‑Quantum Readiness (PQC, Hybrid, Crypto‑Agility)
Assessments, policy updates, and hybrid certificate pilots; inventory of quantum‑vulnerable assets; vendor mapping; and staged rollout plans aligned to standards.

FAQ: Enterprise Cryptography — Common Questions
Do we need on‑prem or cloud HSMs? Often both—on‑prem for assurance, cloud HSM for elasticity. We design the right split.
Can we modernise AD CS without downtime? Yes—parallel issuing, policy migration, staged renewals, and cutover runbooks.
How do we make Kubernetes mTLS manageable? cert‑manager + CLM control plane + Firefly/short‑lived certs; automated rotation.
What’s the fastest win? Start with certificate discovery + automated renewals for your top domains; then secure code signing.
