Issuing Certificates for Azure Users with SecureW2Д«elow weвЂ™ve provided a step-by-step guide for Azure clients to configure their IDPs with SecureW2 and start issuing certificates.Д«elow weвЂ™ve provided a step-by-step guide in both video and screenshot format for Azure clients to configure their IDPs with SecureW2 and start issuing certificates. SecureW2вЂ™s cloud PKI is the actual no-brainer because itвЂ™s a turn-key PKI solution that requires no forklift upgrades. Enterprises only need one part-time PKI manager, no expensive team of experts required. None of this is necessary with a managed PKI service, which has no infrastructure costs because itвЂ™s all on the cloud, can be set up in a few hours, and costs a fraction of the price of on-prem PKIs. Plus, on-prem AD CS PKIs require a team of professionals to manage, meaning Azure enterprises have to dedicate time and resources to either train their IT department or find new employees.

Azure enterprises have to pay for hardware and software implementation, licensing fees, infrastructure, eventual replacement and much more.

However, on-prem PKIs are incredibly expensive, labor-intensive, and take months to set up. MicrosoftвЂ™s AD CS allows admins to build an on-premise PKI, and it may seem like a no-brainer for Azure customers. In order to deploy certificates, admins need a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Gateway APIs and onboarding software provide automatic certificate enrollment, lightening the load for IT admins. ThatвЂ™s only the case if you manually configure devices for certificates. Many admins have turned away from using certificates because they seemed too difficult to program and issue to every device. The best way for Azure customers to deploy certificates is with onboarding software for BYODs and Gateway APIs, such as SCEP, for managed devices.

Certificates are easier to deploy on a cloud-based PKI, which is a fraction of the cost of an on-prem PKI like AD CS.

With SecureW2, Windows environments can ditch credential-based authentication for a passwordless Azure solution. Certificates provide the most secure way to use 802.1x because they eliminate over-the-air credential theft. Just check out what one of our customers has today transitioning to the cloud.Д¬ertificates provide a seamless and secure way for admins to transfer their networks to the cloud. SecureW2вЂ™s certificate solutions allow admins to automatically onboard all devices with a certificate. All you need is an Azure Cloud setup along with a PKI and RADIUS with native cloud integration. One such solution is leveraging digital x.509 certificates.

Luckily, there are several low-cost passwordless solutions to smooth the migration. Configure your Azure cloud with SecureW2вЂ™s cloud to easily enroll all network devices with certificates and enable 802.1x security settings.
