Acquisition of Leading Cryptographic Discovery Solutions Enhance Keyfactor's Ability to Identify, Prioritize, and Remediate Cryptographic Risks
Keyfactor, the industry leader in digital trust for modern enterprises, today announced it has acquired InfoSec Global, a leader in cryptographic posture management, and CipherInsights, an advanced cryptographic discovery solution by Quantum Xchange. These strategic acquisitions position Keyfactor as the leader in digital trust and quantum readiness, bringing together the most comprehensive solutions to discover and inventory cryptographic assets with automated certificate lifecycle management and quantum-ready PKI and signing solutions.
“These acquisitions mark a major leap forward in securing digital trust,” said Jordan Rackie, CEO, Keyfactor. “We’re uniting the best of the best — the most advanced discovery capabilities for cryptographic assets at rest and in motion, the most powerful automation for remediation and quantum transitions, and the most scalable certificate issuance and signing solutions. Together, we’re giving organizations a seamless path to uncover and fix today’s cryptographic risks and get ahead of tomorrow’s quantum threats. At Keyfactor, we’ve led the way in defining what a digital trust provider should deliver — first by saying that if you manage certificates, you should be able to issue them too. Now, we’re raising the bar again: if you issue and manage certificates, you should also manage the cryptography behind them."
Cryptography is the foundation of digital trust, powering secure connections across every device, workload, and application. Yet, most organizations lack visibility into where cryptographic assets reside, who manages them, and how they’re secured, leaving them vulnerable to outages, breaches, and compliance risks. As the shift to quantum-safe cryptography looms, the need for visibility and control over their cryptographic risks has never been more urgent. With these acquisitions, Keyfactor is addressing the critical gap in cryptographic observability, helping organizations take control of their non-human identities and prepare for the next era of secure infrastructure.
Expanded Capabilities Deliver Deep Crypto Discovery, Real-Time Risk Monitoring, and Quantum-Safe Readiness
With its acquisitions of InfoSec Global and CipherInsights, Keyfactor is expanding its solutions with powerful discovery, monitoring, and risk management capabilities. These enhancements empower organizations to uncover hidden cryptographic assets, continuously monitor encryption health across their networks, and accelerate their transition to a quantum-safe security posture, all within a single, consolidated solution.
These new additions work together to help organizations discover vulnerabilities, modernize cryptography, and maintain continuous crypto-agility:
AgileSec Analytics
AgileSec Analytics delivers deep discovery of cryptographic assets across devices, source code, binaries, file systems, applications, cloud workloads, and more. It uncovers hidden cryptographic objects and prioritizes quantum-vulnerable algorithms, mapping them against risk factors and regulatory requirements.
AgileSec Agility
AgileSec Agility is an advanced cryptographic agility solution that enables enterprises to centrally manage and update cryptographic assets within applications—without modifying source code. It supports seamless integration of current, post-quantum, and future cryptographic standards across diverse IT environments.
CipherInsights
CipherInsights is a lightweight network sensor that passively monitors traffic in real time to surface cryptographic risks. It detects weak or outdated protocols, self-signed certificates, unencrypted traffic, and more. Built-in compliance templates for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and other standards streamline reporting and regulatory adherence.
Customer Advantage: End-to-End Visibility, Intelligence, and Automated Remediation for a Quantum-Safe Future
As organizations grapple with growing cryptographic complexity and looming quantum threats, customers will benefit from enhanced capabilities that will empower security teams to take control of their cryptographic landscape. These include:
- Comprehensive Visibility: Expanded discovery and inventory into cryptographic keys, protocols, crypto-libraries, and algorithms in use provides organizations with 360º visibility of their cryptographic landscape, enabling continuous discovery and monitoring of all cryptographic assets.
- Actionable Intelligence: Cryptographic risk posture assessments provide security and GRC teams with risk-based insights to proactively identify vulnerabilities, including insecure keys, compromised certificates, and unencrypted traffic.
- Risk Remediation: Seamless integration with Keyfactor Command enables quick action on identified risks through automated migration of certificates to quantum-safe standards. Teams can also generate audit reports required by PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, zero-trust frameworks, and other compliance requirements.
“The combination of InfoSec Global and Keyfactor enables us to execute our vision of delivering the end-to-end cryptographic posture management platform to customers and partners,“ said Nagy Moustafa, CEO and co-founder of InfoSec Global. “As enterprises confront the dual challenge of post-quantum readiness and constantly evolving compliance demands, our combined strengths offer the visibility and agility needed to take control of their cryptographic future. We’re excited to embark on this next chapter alongside the Keyfactor team.”
This news comes amid a broader rebound in cybersecurity M&A activity, particularly in cryptography and PKI, as organizations seek comprehensive, integrated solutions to meet evolving digital trust challenges. The trend toward consolidation is expected to accelerate in 2025, with enterprises prioritizing partners that offer a holistic range of cryptographic and security capabilities.
It also follows a period of significant growth and market validation for Keyfactor. The company reached $100M in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in under five years and received a significant investment from Sixth Street Growth, increasing its valuation to approximately $1.3 billion. Keyfactor has continued to build on this momentum, recently achieving 32% year-over-year ARR growth and a 434% three-year revenue growth, landing Keyfactor on both Deloitte’s Fast 500 list and the Inc. 5000 list for five consecutive years. Further validating its market leadership, Keyfactor was recognized as the strongest performer on both the Innovation and Growth Indexes in Frost & Sullivan's 2024 Frost Radar™ for PKI-as-a-Service.
