Modern enterprises struggle to protect root keys at the core of their PKI.
Traditional secure compartmented information facilities (SCIFs) have long been the standard—but their high costs, limited flexibility, and complex operations are no longer sustainable.
Intertrust’s virtual iSCIF offers a breakthrough in a cloud-native environment that exceeds the security guarantees of physical SCIFs while delivering significant cost, operational, and scalability benefits.
Why physical SCIFs are holding you back
Physical secure rooms require massive investments and resources. This model strains budgets, limits scalability, and slows down your business agility in a cloud-oriented world.
