Keyfactor positions itself as a global leader in post-quantum security with strategic acquisitions

 

The company has completed the acquisition of InfoSec Global, a leader in cryptographic state management, and CipherInsights, an advanced cryptographic discovery solution Quantum Xchange.

 

These acquisitions, described as decisive by the company, merge the most complete capabilities in the market for the discovery and inventory of cryptographic assets, the automated management of the certificate lifecycle and the provision of solutions for PKI and quantum-resistant digital signatures. The goal is to offer organizations a frictionless path to identify, prioritize, and remediate cryptographic risks, as well as prepare for future quantum threats.

 

"These acquisitions represent a decisive step towards strengthening digital trust," he said. Jordan Rackie, CEO of Keyfactor“We’re bringing together the best of the best: the most advanced discovery capabilities for crypto assets at rest and in motion, the most powerful automation for remediation and quantum transition, and the most scalable certificate issuance and signing solutions on the market. key factorWe have led the way in defining what a digital trust provider should offer—first by stating that if you manage certificates, you should also be able to issue them. Now, we're raising the bar once again: if you issue and manage certificates, you should also manage the cryptography behind them.

 

Cryptography is a fundamental pillar of digital trust, but most organizations lack visibility into their crypto assets, exposing them to disruptions, security breaches, and compliance risks. This need becomes even more critical given the impending transition to quantum-resistant cryptography. With these acquisitions, Keyfactor addresses this crucial gap in cryptographic observability, enabling organizations to take control of their device identities and prepare for the next era of secure infrastructure.

 

Expanded capabilities for comprehensive security

 

Keyfactor's new capabilities, powered by AgileSec Analytics, AgileSec Agility and CipherInsights, offer deep cryptographic discovery, real-time risk monitoring, and robust preparation for quantum security:

 

    AgileSec Analytics: It enables deep discovery of cryptographic assets across diverse environments (devices, source code, binaries, applications, cloud workloads), prioritizing algorithms vulnerable to quantum computing and mapping them against risk factors and regulatory requirements.

    AgileSec Agility: It is an advanced cryptographic agility solution that centrally manages and updates cryptographic assets within applications without the need to modify the source code, facilitating the integration of current and post-quantum cryptographic standards.
  

  CipherInsights: A lightweight network sensor that monitors traffic in real time to detect cryptographic risks such as weak protocols, self-signed certificates, or unencrypted traffic, with built-in compliance templates for easy reporting.

 

These enhancements translate into complete 360-degree visibility into the cryptographic environment, actionable intelligence for proactive vulnerability identification and automated risk remediation, with seamless integration with Keyfactor Command for certificate migration to quantum-resistant standards and audit reporting.

 

Nagy MoustafaThe CEO and co-founder of InfoSec Global, highlighted: “The combination of InfoSec Global and Keyfactor allows us to realize our vision of providing clients and partners with a comprehensive platform for managing crypto security. As companies face the dual challenge of post-quantum readiness and constantly evolving regulatory requirements, our combined strengths offer the visibility and agility needed to take control of their crypto future.”

 

This news comes amid an upswing in M&A activity in the cybersecurity sector, particularly in cryptography and PKI, a trend expected to accelerate in 2025. Keyfactor's trajectory has been remarkable, reaching $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in less than five years and receiving a significant investment from Sixth Street Growth, raising its valuation to approximately $1.300 billion. The company has sustained 32% ARR and 434% revenue growth over three years, positioning it on the Deloitte Fast 500 and Inc. 5000 lists for five consecutive years. Additionally, it was recognized as the top performer for innovation and growth in Frost & Sullivan's 2024 Frost Radar™ for PKI as a Service.
