vSEC:CMS on Azure

The vSEC:CMS on Azure is an innovative, easily integrated and cost-effective Credential Management System (CMS) that will help you deploy and manage credentials within your organization. vSEC:CMS will change your views on how to manage the lifecycle of physical and virtual credentials. Organizations can run vSEC:CMS in public clouds, private clouds and hybrid clouds.

Vendor Independent

vSEC:CMS is fully functional with minidriver enabled credentials such as smart cards, USB tokens and virtual smart cards including Windows Hello for Business (WHfB) and it streamlines all aspects of managing credentials by connecting to enterprise directories, certificate authorities, physical access control systems, email servers, log servers, biometric fingerprint readers, PIN mailers… the list goes on. With vSEC:CMS organizations can issue credentials to employees, personalize the credentials with authentication credentials and manage the lifecycle of the credentials – directly from the cloud.

Versasec Core Connections

Secure

A cornerstone of vSEC:CMS is security, all sensitive data and keys are secured using hardware. Operators of the system are authenticated using two-factor authentication and all usage is securely audited for full traceability.
The main task of a CMS is to securely connect user identities (credentials) into an enterprise systems and maintain this connection throughout the lifecycle of the credential. That implies the need of secure communication with several external systems.

Demonstration and Free Consultation

You can schedule a demo or contact our Versasec team for a free consultation.

Instant Access

vSEC:CMS is available on the Azure Marketplace. Once the Azure VM has been launched, vSEC:CMS is ready to use in Evaluation Mode. During the evaluation, you can configure your environment with up to 5 licenses and your own use cases. Each license manages one credential. Additional licenses can be acquired as a subscription or as a perpetual license. Please contact a Versasec reseller or Versasec directly to proceed.

Instant Setup!

It’s easy to get started and you can have the most common configuration (Windows Credential Logon) set up in minutes instead of days following our step-by-step tutorials. Once you have the initial use case configured you can build from there adding: User Self Service, Remote Operators and support for other secure devices including Virtual Smart Cards and Windows Hello for Business (WHfB). We support many different use cases; configuration options and our feature set are vast.

Use Case Guide: Windows Credential Logon

We will guide you through the initial setup all the way to you issuing and managing the lifecycle of your secure devices. Follow this guide on our Support Portal: Windows Credential Logon
Note: The PKI used in this example use case will be an MS CA. Other PKIs are also supported.

Meet vSEC:CMS 7.3 – Advancing Orchestration and Governance with Microsoft Sentinel Integration and YubiKey as a Service

  • New Versasec Codeless Connector for Microsoft Sentinel: Versasec introduces an integration built on Microsoft’s Codeless Connector Framework (CCF). You can now stream vSEC:CMS events directly into Sentinel’s Log Analytics tables.
  • Support for Thales SafeNet IDPrime DI 930 FIDO 2.0 Smart Card.
    Expanding options for enterprises seeking a contact- and contactless-authenticator that supports both PKI and FIDO 2.0 technologies.
  • Support for the Thales SafeNet eToken Fusion BIO (Standard & Enterprise Features) Tokens.
    Both the Standard and those featuring Thales Enterprise Edition are supported by vSEC:CMS. This integration allows enterprises to deploy and manage the enrollment and management of fingerprints for authentication purposes.
  • Versasec provides enterprise-grade lifecycle management for the HID Crescendo 4000 series through its vSEC:CMS (on-premise) and vSEC:CLOUD (managed service) platforms. Because the Crescendo 4000 is a “minidriver-enabled” card, the Crescendo 4000 integrates natively with Versasec’s orchestration to handle everything from initial issuance to retirement.
  • FIDO Support for the HID Crescendo C2300 Cards. Versasec has officially expanded its support for the HID Crescendo C2300, moving beyond its long-standing PKI management to include full FIDO2 lifecycle orchestration.
  • Version 7.3 debuts a new built-in report framework featuring pre-made reports to provide immediate visibility into credential data. Integration with YubiKey as a Service allows organizations to ship pre-registered YubiKeys with FIDO2 passkeys directly from the credential management systems to the end-user. Bypassing complex manual security logistics and delivering a streamlined, zero-touch workflow for both administrators and end-users.
  • Configuration Export streamlines environment management by allowing administrators to export their entire system setup into a machine-readable JSON file. This capability is particularly valuable for performing audit comparisons between different CMS instances, such as identifying configuration drift between a test lab and a production system.
  • Versasec has expanded the accessibility of its suite by adding Canadian French language support to the vSEC:CMS Agent application.
