LockThe greatest challenge in today's connected environment is security. Whether it's our own proprietary data or the data we gather from our customers, employees, partners and associates, managing the risks of intrusion and data theft is absolutely critical. Sadly, there is a seemingly unlimited number of people out there who take pride in, and make profit from, stealing other people's legitimate data.

That's where PKI comes in. According to the Wikipedia, "Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a set of hardware, software, people, policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates."

In short, PKI  is a data encryption and validation system with keys that allow the data to be encrypted and decrypted on both the server and client. This process is managed via digital certificates. Most companies get their certificates from a commercial Certificate Authority, such as Verisign so that all users invoke the same certificate each time they log in. It is common to have a single certificate on a network server.

In its powerful security solutions, SiO2 employs EJBCA, a powerful open-source solution that allows you to issue your own certificates, manage them, change them as often as you need for the tightest security. It turns your organization into a Certificate Authority.

With digital certificates embedded in your applications, you can achieve a level of security far beyond what you can using a commercial Certificate Authority.
