Machine Identity
Securing every machine identity with automated cryptographic trust
Non-human identities; servers, containers, virtual machines, IoT devices, and AI agents; vastly outnumber human users and represent the largest attack surface today. IN Groupe bridges high-assurance, sovereign PKI with intelligent Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) to eliminate blind spots, prevent costly outages, and prepare your enterprise for the Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) transition.
Full Cryptographic Visibility: Complete discovery and inventory across hybrid,
multi-cloud, and OT environments.
Zero-Outage Automation: End-to-end automated issuance, renewal, and
deployment across all endpoints.
Sovereign & Crypto-Agile Trust: European-hosted, high-assurance PKI
engineered for post-quantum readiness (PQC).
WHY IT MATTERS
Every digital service relies on a hidden layer of trust. IN Groupe helps organisations protect that trust by securing the certificates, keys and access mechanisms that keep systems, devices and infrastructure connected safely.
As organisations become more digital, their security no longer depends only on human users. Servers, applications, IoT devices, and increasingly, autonomous AI agents, also need trusted identities. These identities are often based on certificates and cryptographic keys, but when certificate management is fragmented or manual, organisations face outages, compliance gaps and security risks. Shorter certificate lifetimes, regulatory pressure and the move towards stronger cryptographic controls are making automation and governance increasingly important.
IN Groupe’s Machine Identity offering focuses on the foundations of trusted digital infrastructure: PKI, certificate authorities, certificate lifecycle management, infrastructure access and authentication, and the protection of sensitive keys and credentials. These capabilities help organisations issue, manage, renew and revoke certificates, enforce security policies, protect cryptographic material and connect trust services to enterprise systems.
IN Groupe’s Smart ID Certificate Manager provides the PKI trust anchor, while Smart ID Identity Manager orchestrates certificate and credential lifecycles through configurable workflows, integrations and audit trails. Smart ID Digital Access extends this trust into authentication and access-control use cases across local, cloud and on-premise resources.
IN Groupe’s unique combination of sovereign identity expertise, high-assurance PKI and practical lifecycle automation means organisations can manage machine identity as a strategic part of their security architecture, not just as a technical certificate task. This helps security and infrastructure teams reduce operational risk, improve auditability and maintain trusted digital services with greater confidence and control.
