Features

New Native Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

In this release, Axiad is introducing a new PKI developed in-house as part of our Credential Management System (CMS). Previously, certificate issuance was handled by third-party software integrated into our technology stack.

This transition brings a range of benefits, including:

• Stronger alignment with industry best practices

• Improved performance and reliability

• Enhanced security posture

• Greater control and flexibility

• Support for future product innovations and tailored features

Impact on Existing Customers:

This change will not affect existing customers currently using the legacy PKI component. You will continue to operate without interruption, and migrations to the new Axiad PKI will be carefully planned and communicated in advance.

For Customers Using Their Own PKI:

If your environment uses your own enterprise PKI, this change does not impact your current configuration. However, the new native PKI lays the groundwork for future enhancements and optional features that may benefit your deployment.

This evolution reflects our continued commitment to delivering a streamlined, secure, and modern credential issuance platform fully managed within the Axiad ecosystem.

New Device Support: Thales SafeNet eToken Fusion NFC PIV

Axiad Conductor now supports the Thales SafeNet eToken Fusion NFC (PIV), expanding the range of strong authenticators available to customers. This addition gives organizations more flexibility when selecting phishing-resistant authentication methods that align with their security and deployment needs.

Enhancements
