Venafi, a CyberArk Company, announced today the general availability of its SaaS machine identity security product portfolio, including TLS Protect Cloud, TLS Protect for Kubernetes and Venafi Firefly, in Australia.

Hosted and delivered locally within the region via software-as-a-service, Venafi’s machine identity security products will allow Australian organisations to easily manage and secure machine identities across all environments, while meeting compliance with local regulatory frameworks such as the Australian Privacy Act. This local infrastructure also provides organisations with access to improved performance and faster service availability.

Today, as businesses accelerate their adoption of AI, cloud and modern application environments such as Kubernetes, securing machine identities has become more critical than ever to reduce risk and maintain operational efficiency. According to CyberArk research, the volume and complexity of machine identities—including certificates, keys, secrets and access tokens—are growing exponentially, now outpacing human identities. Eighty percent of Australian security leaders anticipate the number of machine identities in their organisation to grow over the next year, with 74% projecting an increase of up to 50%. Venafi’s portfolio of SaaS machine identity security products leverages centralised visibility and automation to help organisations effectively monitor and secure any machine identity, anywhere, across extended enterprise networks.

• TLS Protect Cloud: TLS Protect Cloud centralises the lifecycle management of TLS certificates across all hybrid and multi-cloud environments. By automating certificate issuance, renewal and revocation at enterprise scale, it reduces the risk of certificate-related outages and security vulnerabilities.
• TLS Protect for Kubernetes: Specifically designed for modern, cloud native applications, TLS Protect for Kubernetes enables security and platform teams to easily and securely manage cloud native machine identities—such as TLS, mTLS and SPIFFE—across all of an enterprise’s multi-cloud and multi-cluster Kubernetes environments. By delivering increased visibility, control and automation over machine identity management within more complex cloud native infrastructures, it helps enterprises improve application reliability and reduce development and operational costs.
• Venafi Firefly: Venafi’s industry-first lightweight workload identity issuer automates the issuance and governance of machine identities in modern, highly distributed cloud native application environments. This helps ensure compliance with enterprise security policies while seamlessly integrating into developer workflows.

“Following the opening of CyberArk’s new office in Melbourne, we are further expanding our commitment to the Australian market with the in-country availability of additional machine identity security capabilities to help local businesses tackle the most critical machine identity challenges. Combined with our market-leading secrets management solutions, this expansion marks a significant step toward empowering Australian organisations with the most comprehensive, end-to-end machine identity security platform – bringing together secrets management, certificate lifecycle management, public key infrastructure (PKI) and workload identity issuance under a single platform delivered through SaaS.” – Kurt Sand, GM of Machine Identity Security, CyberArk
