Modern application architectures like microservices, containers, and edge computing have driven an explosion in machine identities, creating complexity and security risks. Legacy PKI processes, built for long-lived certificates and manual oversight, cannot keep up with today’s short-lived, automated workloads. The Machine Identity Security Architecture introduces a control plane that delivers observability, consistency, and policy enforcement across legacy and modern environments. Key features include automated issuance, orchestration integration, short-lived certificates, and compliance visibility. By aligning identity lifecycles with CI/CD pipelines and autoscaling infrastructure, organizations can secure millions of ephemeral identities while reducing outages and ensuring resilience.
