The partnership leverages GlobalSign’s Atlas platform, a trusted engine for identity and PKI services, with ID-Security’s CEMA solution for advanced CLM. This integration automates the provisioning of publicly trusted and private TLS and S/MIME certificates, enabling organizations to implement identity-based security efficiently. “Certificate management has become increasingly complex in recent years. Shorter certificate lifespans, combined with the growing number of endpoints and compliance requirements, have made manual processes unsustainable,” said Thomas Weber, Managing Director, ID-Security. “With our managed services for CipherMail and the CEMA Certificate Lifecycle Management platform, we are able to on-board new customers rapidly and cost-efficiently.”
The inclusion of CipherMail’s Secure Email Gateway adds encryption and policy enforcement, addressing the rising threat of email-based phishing attacks. The combined solution allows customers to request and distribute certificates seamlessly, ensuring secure data transmission. “Customers continue to seek a unified, ‘single pane of glass’ solution to manage their certificates,” said Andreas Brix, Senior Program Manager, GlobalSign. “Through GMO GlobalSign’s close collaboration and seamless integration with ID-Security and CipherMail this is exactly what is being delivered - a combined solution providing CLM features, email signing and encryption in one streamlined interface.”
The integrated platform supports rapid onboarding and simplifies compliance with industry regulations and internal security policies. By automating certificate management, it reduces the risk of data breaches and identity-based attacks. The Atlas API enhances integration, delivering immediate operational value. “Combined with the Atlas API from GMO GlobalSign, which we started using several years ago, we have a modern and user-friendly toolset that not only meets today’s automation demands but also accelerates integration and delivers immediate operational value,” Weber added.
The collaboration addresses the growing complexity of certificate management in a landscape of shorter certificate lifespans and increasing endpoints. By offering a unified solution for CLM and email security, GlobalSign and ID-Security empower organizations to adopt a PKI-based zero-trust model, enhancing security and operational efficiency across industries.
