Keytos in the Azure ecosystem

Are you looking for a Secure W2 alternative? You have come to the right place! Keytos has been leading the identity and PKI space in Azure for the past few years by creating cloud native PKI, smart card and FIDO2 management, cloud based RADIUS, and passwordless SSH solutions that help organizations scale and protect their cloud.

One of the main reasons many Azure customers, from Fortune 500 companies to small startups, choose Keytos and EZCA as their Azure certificate authority is our native integrations with Azure services, making it easy to create your PKIaaS in Azure and set it and forget it. EZCA then takes care of all the certificate management operations on its own. EZCA gained popularity in the IoT space thanks to its guides that take you through the whole process of creating certificates for Azure IoT, from IoT security best practices to step by step guides for certificate authentication in Azure IoT Hub, as well as our easy to use APIs and NuGet package, making IoT certificate issuance and management as easy as possible.

Secure and compliant

While ease of use and quick setup are important factors for a PKI solution, ensuring security and compliance is paramount. Keytos is a globally trusted security solution provider that prioritizes security by adopting industry-leading measures to secure our infrastructure. Our team of experts constantly monitors and updates our systems to ensure that they meet the highest security standards. Additionally, our SaaS offerings' high availability SLA allows your team to focus on other pressing security issues while your CAs are automatically updated and secured.

Identity and PKI expertise and guidance

Creating a new certificate authority can be an intimidating process. Our team of PKI experts will be with you every step of the way. When you book your first EZCA demo, an ex-Microsoft PKI expert will join the call and guide you through the whole process. That same expert will then be available to answer any questions you have as you continue your PKI planning, ensuring you follow best practices.

Affordable cloud scale PKI

While many legacy PKI vendors have modernized their PKI solutions by modifying their on-premises solution to work and run on the cloud, we have built EZCA from the ground up to maximize the scalability and availability of the cloud, enabling us to offer a great experience at a fraction of the cost.

How much can I save on cloud PKI and cloud RADIUS?

Keytos publishes every price. You can calculate your 3-year cost right now, without talking to us.

Keytos Shield provides both cloud PKI and cloud RADIUS for one low price. If you are looking for just PKI or just RADIUS and not both, check out EZCA and EZRADIUS, which can be deployed independently and save you even more.

What Keytos offers that SecureW2 doesn't

SecureW2 alternative for cloud RADIUS

EZRADIUS shines as the best cloud RADIUS service for Azure. That is not only due to the ease of use and quick setup, but also to the Entra ID and Intune integration, which lets you create access policies based on Entra ID group membership or even Intune device compliance.

SecureW2 alternative for cloud PKI

While EZCA offers many automatic certificate issuance protocols such as SCEP (and is recommended as one of Microsoft's third party Intune SCEP CAs) and ACME (Automated Certificate Management Environment), one of the most used features is our one-click Azure Key Vault certificate creation and management integration. It lets users securely create and manage certificates following Azure best practices with an HSM (hardware security module) backed Azure Key Vault, fully automating certificate issuance in Azure.

Intune and SCEP integration

SCEP is the most popular way for IT teams across the world to issue certificates to their managed devices. EZCA's SCEP feature allows you to issue certificates to your managed devices in minutes. Its easy setup and management has made it one of the Microsoft-recommended certificate authorities for Intune and, with our self-service user certificate feature, even users with non-managed devices can easily get certificates.

Connect your PKI to your SIEM with our Sentinel integration

As a Microsoft Security partner, we simply could not create Azure based solutions without sending all alerts and logs to Azure Sentinel. All Keytos tools send their security logs to Azure Sentinel, giving you a single pane of glass where your SOC team can monitor your infrastructure and detect anomalies.

SecureW2 alternative for smart card and FIDO2 issuance and management

Keytos helps you secure your organization by also giving you the ability to source, manage, and ship your hardware keys and smart cards. EZCMS is the only credential management system that can onboard FIDO2 keys to Entra ID's native FIDO2 solution, and our unique key attestation technology and government ID AI matching technology make it secure to onboard your remote workforce from anywhere in the world.

SSH access management with SSH certificates

EZSSH revolutionized the SSH industry by being the first SSH access management tool that gives you just-in-time (JIT) access to your SSH endpoints with your Entra ID account, without a high privilege agent or even a network connection to your endpoints. That lets you implement all your access management policies, such as RBAC and conditional access, while using cryptographic certificates that are native to the SSH protocol.

Frequently asked questions

For Entra ID environments, yes. EZCA replaces the certificate authority and EZRADIUS replaces cloud RADIUS. If you rely on Okta or Google Workspace as your identity provider, not today.

Yes. EZCA is one of the third party certificate authorities listed in Microsoft's own Intune SCEP documentation, so you deploy certificates through the SCEP profiles you already use. EZRADIUS then reads Intune device compliance at authentication time, which means a non-compliant device fails to get on the network with no extra middleware in between.

Yes. EZCA issues device certificates through Jamf the same way it does through Intune, and any device holding a certificate from your Keytos certificate authority authenticates to EZRADIUS normally. Identity and group policy still come from Entra ID.

SecureW2 does not publish pricing. You fill in a form, take a call, and go through a scoping conversation before you are given a number. Keytos publishes every price, and the calculator on this page gives you your monthly cost without talking to anyone.

Nothing breaks. Certificates already issued stay valid until they expire, and you can chain your new Keytos certificate authority up to your existing on-premises or third party root so both are trusted at once. Devices move over as they re-enroll, which means the migration happens on your renewal schedule rather than in a single cutover.

Yes. Keytos is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and ISO 27001 compliant, and every Keytos product ships its security logs to Azure Sentinel by default so your SOC team keeps its own record of what happened.
