Bolt key management onto
your Entra product family


Our key management is part of PrivX Zero Trust Suite, the best
bolt-on for Entra ID for critical access and credentials management.

Learn how

DeathStar_compressed80% of your critical credentials might be
out of control

SSH keys are credentials just like passwords but 10 times more common and unmanaged. We scanned a financial institution's environment. That death star is the result. Their Privileged Access Management (PAM) security controls were being bypassed with unauthorized, test-to-production, and application-to-application connections.

How did we remedy the customer's situation?

No ID

SSH keys don't have an identity associated with them. We changed that.

Never expire

Keys don't have a best-before date. We gave them that.

One to many

One key can open connections up to hundreds of targets. We put a stop to it.

Old PAMs can't handle them

Old PAMs handle 20% of all keys - at best. We manage them all

Scan your environment and discover all SSH access (automated and interactive) across your IT infrastructure. Identify trust relationships and all policy-violating SSH keys. Discover different types of accounts.

Audit

Implement systematic company policies. Monitor and control your environment via centralized SSH key management.

Remediate

Remediate your environment. Remove keys that are uncompliant, unmanaged, or bypassing your controls.

Automate

Automate the full lifecycle of SSH keys and simplify the effort of staying compliant. Ensure all your sessions are audited, logged, and tracked.

1. Eliminate SSH key risks and attack vectors

SSH keys are complex and can easily go unmanaged. These unmanaged SSH keys are then highly sought after by malicious actors.

With UKM, you remove security risks caused by ungoverned keys that might look legitimate to your existing security controls.

2. Centralize & automate SSH key lifecycle management 

By default, SSH key management is decentralized and complex.

With UKM, you manage and discover all authentication keys, key configurations, and SSH login files in a centralized, universal SSH key manager. You can also automate SSH key processes, like provisioning, rotation, remediation, etc.

3. Secure and track your encrypted M2M connections

Machine-to-machine connections are not managed by PAM tools. You need a centralized SSH key management tool, like UKM, to manage your M2M connections, automate routines, track machine credentials, and audit all automated sessions.

UKM also ensures that all M2M connections meet your security policies and use compliant encryption standards and protocol versions.

4. Enforce security policies and pass IT audits

UKM warns you about SSH keys that violate your policies, contravene regulations, or are used ungoverned. You can upgrade, rotate, and delete outdated keys with the option to reverse any action.

With UKM, you enforce compliant access control policies throughout your entire organization.

5. Reduce complexity with Zero Trust keyless access

With UKM, you can maximize key lifecycle automation and radically reduce the number of SSH keys in your environment. 

UKM grants only just enough access (JEA), just-in-time (JIT), and with the least privilege needed to get the job done - without leaving any SSH keys behind to manage.
