Axiad Conductor for Non-human Identities (NHI)

Axiad Conductor can be used to authenticate your machine identities instead of or in addition to your human identities. As a standalone service, you can easily incorporate this Axiad solution into your environment.

Overview

Axiad Conductor for Non-human Identities (NHI) is a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication platform that authenticates your machines through transparent certificate generation and validation.

The solution includes a dedicated private Root CA and a dedicated private Issuing CA (signed by the Root CA) as the default topology, but it can be fully customized with additional Certificate Authorities (CAs) to address distinct needs, with all private keys securely stored in a dedicated partition on a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Hardware Security Module (HSM).

Axiad Conductor NHI is a fully integrated component of the product that enables you to effortlessly issue digital identities to your users; and it supports a range of industry protocols (CMPv2, SCEP, ACME, EST, etc.) and connectors (Intune, AEP, Venafi, AppViewX, and more) to automate certificate distribution to devices and services, keeping your entire certificate-based authentication (CBA) from the same source.

Integrations

Axiad Conductor NHI integrates with various resources to automate the certificate lifecycle:

• AppViewX and Venafi for orchestration

• Microsoft for automated enrollment and renewal using GPOs

• Intune, MobileIron, and Jamf MDM products
