Who manages the security of instances through public key infrastructure (PKI)?

The management of security for instances through public key infrastructure (PKI) typically falls under the responsibilities of partners or service providers like Tanium rather than individual customers, network administrators, or users.

When using PKI, it is essential to establish a robust infrastructure for managing digital certificates, keys, and encryption policies. This often involves complex tasks such as generating and issuing certificates, maintaining and renewing those certificates, and revoking them when necessary. Such responsibilities usually require a degree of expertise and resources that are more effectively handled by a knowledgeable provider like Tanium or a partnering entity that specializes in security and infrastructure management.

By using a partner for PKI management, customers can ensure a higher level of security as these entities typically have dedicated teams focused on maintaining security standards, adhering to compliance requirements, and responding to vulnerabilities that may arise. This allows the customer to concentrate on their core business while relying on the partner for advanced security measures.
