Enterprise Key Management Solutions

A key management service (KMS) is a managed solution that simplifies the creation and control of cryptographic keys that are used to protect your enterprise’s data. Futurex key management services provide a secure, functional platform for businesses to create and manage these different keys and certificates all in one convenient location. Users can store, delete, and keep track of existing keys and certificates as well as generate new keys and certificates as needed.

The Key Management Enterprise Server (KMES) Series 3 is a scalable and versatile solution for managing keys, certificates, and other cryptographic objects. Built around Futurex’s cryptographic technology, the KMES’s modular system architecture provides a custom solution to fulfill the unique needs of organizations across a wide range of industries. Full integration with Futurex’s solution suite enables the KMES to support unparalleled functionality expansion options as well as full management of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and certificate authority (CA).

Simply put, the KMES Series 3 is Futurex’s Enterprise-Class Key & Certificate Management Platform offering lifecycle Management, robust user permissions, and full automatic capabilities.

• As an enterprise-class product, the KMES manages large quantities of keys, certificates, and other cryptographic objects in a stream-lined and automated way.
• Define automatic expiration rules to remove and replace keys, algorithms, and protocols on a user-defined schedule, without traveling to a data center.
• Set automatic alerts to monitor the status of your enterprise key and certificate infrastructure.
