SSH Key Lifecycle Management

SSH Key Lifecycle Management (SSH-KLM)

Section titled “SSH Key Lifecycle Management (SSH-KLM)”

Enterprise-grade SSH key discovery, rotation, and lifecycle management for secure infrastructure access.

SSH-KLM solves the critical challenges of SSH key sprawl, compliance requirements, and security risks by providing centralized visibility and automated management of all SSH keys across your environment.

Problems Solved

Section titled “Problems Solved”
  • Key Sprawl - Gain visibility into all SSH keys across servers, containers, and cloud instances
  • Compliance - Meet SOC2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA requirements with automated rotation and audit trails
  • Security Risks - Detect orphaned keys, unauthorized access, and policy violations
  • Operational Overhead - Automate manual key rotation and distribution processes

Key Features

Section titled “Key Features”
FeatureDescription
Automated DiscoveryAgentless and agent-based scanning to find all SSH keys

Ephemeral KeysJust-in-time SSH access with time-limited credentials
Bastion IntegrationNative integration with HashiCorp Boundary, Teleport, and PAM solutions
Risk ScoringIdentify high-risk keys based on age, usage, and configuration
Audit TrailComplete logging of all key operations for compliance
