Entrust in UAE

Authentication, certificates and key custody solve different problems

Entrust’s identity-centric portfolio spans user authentication, PKI, certificate management and HSMs. Choose from the dependency that needs improvement. Workforce authentication concerns enrolment, login and recovery. PKI establishes certificate trust. Certificate management coordinates an existing estate. HSMs protect supported key operations for consuming applications.

A business can need several of these without replacing everything at once. For example, certificate expiry may be an ownership and deployment issue rather than a reason to rebuild the authority. Stronger login can coexist with excessive application permissions. Document the intended outcome so a proposal distinguishes identity proofing, authentication, entitlement and cryptographic custody instead of blending them into a generic access claim.

Test recovery as carefully as ordinary success

Map users, applications, authorities and key consumers, then confirm the current products, interfaces and versions in scope. An authentication pilot should include a lost authenticator and an approved offboarding event. A PKI pilot should validate relying-system trust and revocation. An HSM pilot should use test keys and demonstrate the documented integration and recovery process.

Authority for emergency access, sensitive key actions and entitlement approval needs named ownership. UAE customers may require particular procurement or cryptographic evidence; confirm it against the exact model and configuration. Handover should provide supported integration records, lifecycle procedures and explicit exceptions, without exporting secrets into ordinary project files or implying that one security component establishes compliance.

Evidence to request for this scope

• Map each requirement to a particular identity or cryptographic function.
• Obtain exact model, release and integration evidence for the proposed components.
• Rehearse failed authentication, certificate replacement or key recovery within the approved scope.
