Tailored to the lifecycle management needs of banks
The customer finds value in adopting a platform from Jira, particularly for the ease it brings to their processes, both for on-premises operations and batch processing. Their objective is to create a new customized server specifically designed for generating certificates. This server is intended for the generation of certificates, emphasizing that it is not meant for free domain replacement. The platform of choice for this purpose is Digital One, a product that offers full customization and aligns well with the customer's preference for tailored solutions. The process of certificate issuance from Microsoft's AB involves renewal or replacement every five years. However, an issue arises in that this particular certificate requires renewal annually instead of the standard five-year cycle. The challenge is attributed to personnel changes, where an administrator responsible for the process resigns within the five-year period. To address this, we seek an automated solution that operates seamlessly with a single sign-on approach, eliminating the need for user IDs or passwords. The automation involves approval and subsequent deployment without complexities. Being a partner of DigiSet, we rely on the implementer for support in service deployment, installation, and resolution of any issues that may arise.

All the features align perfectly with the CISA zero-trust framework
I am impressed with Entrust because they are one of the most advanced identity access management companies. Their portfolio of products is well aligned with the CISA zero trust framework. If you compare the features of Entrust products with the CISA pillars of zero trust, you'll see that they're perfectly matched with CISA requirements. Entrust offers advanced frictionless multifactor authentication with a very sophisticated risk engine. The risk engine is a critical component of user authentication because risk scanning has multiple variables, including geolocation. When you're receiving attacks from an internet-facing side of the equation, the risk is greater for login attempts that originate outside of your home country. For example, the risk engine detects that a person is trying to authenticate with these credentials, but he's not in Puerto Rico. He's in Russia. You immediately deny access. Employees can do multifactor authentication with face ID or a push notification on their phone. They only need to put their faces up to the phone and press "yes" to be securely identified. It's a highly secure, frictionless form of authentication.

The emphasis lies in leveraging automated solutions to streamline these operations effectively."
