GaraSign: A Cybersecurity Orchestration Platform For The Enterprise

There are many excellent enterprise cybersecurity tools to choose from. Some are managed on-premise, others are consumed as a service, and others still use a hybrid model. The challenge enterprises face is not a lack of cybersecurity tools or solutions but rather a lack of seamless interconnectivity between these privileged access management (PAM) tools and a single place to manage and audit them. GaraSign is a cybersecurity platform that allows enterprises to securely and efficiently integrate their security systems in a way that does not disrupt existing business processes. By factoring out what’s common, GaraSign can centralize and simplify the management of your enterprise’s most sensitive areas, including PAM, privileged identity management (PIM), secure software development, code signing, data security, public key infrastructure (PKI) & hardware security module (HSM) solutions, DevSecOps, and more.

Cryptography underpins many aspects of cybersecurity.

How do you manage access to the keys without slowing operations?

Enterprise cybersecurity leaders must attend to data security, privileged access management (PAM), privileged identity management (PIM), secure software development, secure code signing, email security, and much more. There is a single innovation common to all of these security needs: public key cryptography. With public-private key pairs enabling so many dimensions of cybersecurity, enterprises can unify their strategy by centrally securing and managing all of the private keys in their environment. The challenge is protecting the keys without obstructing access, introducing performance bottlenecks, or creating integration challenges.

Cybersecurity Risks

If private keys are stored in software on endpoint devices, they are relatively easy for attackers to compromise, creating unnecessary risk and compliance challenges for the enterprise.

Performance Needs

Cybersecurity is a top priority but it can't come at the cost of performance. Enterprises demand that keys are secured while keeping up with the tempo of everyday operations.

Integration Challenges

When private keys are properly secured in a hardware security module (HSM) or key manager, integration challenges arise, as many common platforms are not natively supported.

GaraSign gives you the best of all worlds: maximum cybersecurity, outstanding performance, and all the hardware security module (HSM) integrations you need.

Consolidate & Strengthen Your Cybersecurity Posture

GaraSign is a cybersecurity orchestration platform that supports data security, privileged access management (PAM), privileged identity management (PIM), secure software development, secure code signing, public key infrastructure (PKI) and hardware security module (HSM) solutions, email security, and more.

Secure Access To Hardware Security Module (HSM)-Protected Keys

GaraSign is deployed on customer-managed infrastructure between the HSM and the clients, restricting all clients to proxied key access. The result is that HSM private keys remain secured and non-exportable in the HSM at all times, while authorized end-users can still use the keys they need without interfacing with the HSM directly.

Advanced Privileged Access Security Features

Because clients authenticate to GaraSign, rather than the hardware security module (HSM), customers can enforce granular controls, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), privileged access management (PAM), privileged identity management, device authentication, approval workflows, and more, without needing to manually reconfigure servers or modify applications. These additional security features can be enforced for any use case— secure shell (SSH), secure code signing, transport layer security (TLS), public key infrastructure (PKI), access to encrypted data or documents, and much more— on a per-key or per-user basis with a few clicks from the GaraSign admin interface. 

High Performance With Client-Side Hashing

GaraSign is built with a client-side hashing architecture. Clients hash the data they need to sign before sending it over the network to create the hardware security module (HSM) signature. This architecture limits the amount of data being transmitted over the enterprise network, providing extremely high performance for all cryptographic operations, while the private keys remain in the HSM.

Support For Multiple Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) & Key Managers

GaraSign supports all of the industry’s leading HSM and key manager vendors. It is even possible to use GaraSign with multiple HSMs from different vendors simultaneously, including cloud-based HSM and key management servers (KMS).  Deployed on customer-managed infrastructure, GaraSign can run on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid infrastructure. GaraSign is easily deployed in any environment.

Integrations To All The Tools You Use

GaraSign comes with a host of native client integrations, simplifying deployment and eliminating the need to develop custom integrations or install new software on endpoint devices.

One Cybersecurity Platform For All Use Cases

GaraSign supports all use cases based on cryptographic keys. Code Signing Sign code from any platform, including Apple, Microsoft, Linux, and much more. Secure Shell (SSH) Secure SSH keys in a hardware security module (HSM) and easily enforce granular access controls. TLS Enable transport layer security (TLS) with mutual authentication while private keys remain in an HSM. S/MIME Encrypt and sign emails to improve security and ensure compliance. Document Signing Digitally sign documents using keys that are secured in your corporate hardware security modules (HSMs). Secure Backup Sign and encrypt backups to prevent attackers from reading or altering data. Log File Protection Encrypt application log files without modifying the application source code. Certificate Management Automated certificate renewal across the enterprise to avoid outages.
