What are customers saying about Keytos?

Simple, Cloud-First Architecture with Great Pricing and Rock-Solid WiFi

A very simple architecture product that delivers on promises - we haven't had a single WiFi failure since we migrated. No downtime during transition, and the pricing let us finally move away from legacy ISE.

Game-Changing Azure-Native CA for Easy PKI and PIV on Entra ID

EZCA is the only CA platform that is actually native to Azure, enabling easy PKI deployment for PIV authentication without standing up Windows Server VMs - much cleaner and easier to deploy.

Zachary C.

Vice President of Customer Solutions · Small Business

Easy to implement and use

Ease of implementation and ease of use during operations. We use EZRADIUS for 802.1x authentication on wired and wireless LANs - it's significantly improved our infrastructure security and given us confidence in access control across our networks.

Vital for Secure Device Authentication, Stellar Support

Easy to use, with quick and knowledgeable support via chat and helpful documentation for third-party integrations. Setup required minimal effort, and the EZCA/EZRADIUS/Intune integration was key for CMMC compliance.

Sr. Information Security Engineer · Mid-Market

Truly Cloud RADIUS service that integrates with Entra ID

No server deployment needed for wireless authentication with Entra credentials - straightforward setup, and the organization eliminated its on-premises RADIUS server entirely by moving to a fully cloud-based infrastructure.

Automated 802.1X Certificates with Intune SCEP using EZCA

Eliminates the need to stand up and maintain a traditional on-prem PKI/CA infrastructure for 802.1X, with fully automated certificate issuance and renewal through Intune SCEP integration.

How much can I save on identity + network security?

At Keytos, we believe in transparent pricing. You shouldn't have to book a meeting, talk to a sales rep, or make sense of complex discounts and hidden fees before knowing how much it will cost you. That's why we publish all of our pricing upfront, right on our website. There are no expiring offers, contracts, or hidden discounts. Just one simple price.

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

Keytos offers a comprehensive suite of solutions that address the limitations of SecureW2, providing seamless integration with Microsoft environments, robust cloud PKI capabilities, and advanced security features.

SecureW2 alternative for Microsoft environments

Keytos was founded by ex-Microsoft engineers who built cloud-scale identity and network security solutions for Azure, Entra ID, and Intune. Our platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with these Microsoft technologies, providing robust security while simplifying management and deployment.

SecureW2 alternative for cloud PKI

Keytos provides a full end-to-end certificate management solution, allowing organizations to issue certificates via SCEP, Intune SCEP, ACME, EST, CLIs, and portals, ensuring flexibility and ease of integration with existing infrastructure. Plus, with approval workflows, you can enforce security policies and maintain control over certificate issuance.

SecureW2 alternative for Intune

Keytos integrates directly with Microsoft Intune to streamline certificate issuance and management for your organization's devices. With real-time compliance checks and automated certificate provisioning, IT teams can ensure that only compliant devices receive certificates, enhancing security and simplifying management.

SecureW2 alternative for Microsoft Sentinel

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.

Learn about our full catalog of passwordless solutions

One Platform. Zero Passwords.

Keytos Shield combines cloud PKI, cloud RADIUS network authentication, and FIDO2 Passkey + Smart Card onboarding into a single platform built natively for Microsoft Entra ID and Intune.

Enterprise certificate authority,
fully managed in the cloud

EZCA replaces complex on-premises PKI with a cloud-native certificate authority built on Azure and backed by HSMs, giving you enterprise-grade security without the infrastructure burden.

Replace on-prem NPS RADIUS
with a cloud-native solution

EZRADIUS is the only Cloud RADIUS service built natively for Microsoft Entra ID and Intune, eliminating infrastructure overhead while delivering enterprise-grade security.

Authenticate to your SSH
endpoints with Entra ID

EZSSH removes the need to manage, rotate and remove SSH keys for all your users from all your hosts. No more keys in engineers' desktops waiting to be stolen by bad actors.

Onboard users to passwordless authentication without disruption

Get your workforce to phishing-resistant MFA faster with guided passwordless onboarding that works across all your existing Microsoft identity infrastructure.

Monitor every certificate before it expires and takes you down

EZMONITOR continuously scans your infrastructure for expiring TLS certificates and misconfigurations, alerting your team before an outage hits production.

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 on its website. 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.
