The Mandate

Certificate lifespans are shrinking — fast

Global standards bodies are mandating shorter and shorter certificate lifespans. Manual renewal processes that barely hold together today will completely collapse within years — and the timeline is accelerating.

Post-Quantum Readiness

The next cryptographic crisis is already underway

Quantum computers will break RSA and ECC — the algorithms protecting every certificate in your estate. Adversaries are harvesting encrypted traffic now to decrypt it later. Zaita's centralised CLM gives you crypto agility: update the algorithm policy once and Zaita re-issues and redeploys your entire estate in hours.

Without a CLM

Algorithm migration across thousands of certificates takes months of manual coordination — with high risk of incomplete migration leaving vulnerable certs in production.

With Zaita CLM

Update the algorithm policy once. Zaita re-issues and redeploys every affected certificate automatically — across every server, every environment, in hours.

Secrets Management

Hardcoded secrets and manual rotation are your next breach

Credentials committed to repos, API keys shared via email, rotation deferred until after the audit — secrets sprawl is the rule, not the exception. Zaita's Secret Lockers give every application, pipeline, and workload exactly the secrets it needs, encrypted end-to-end, updated and delivered automatically, with every access recorded.

Without Zaita

Secrets live in config files, environment variables, and wikis. Rotation means finding every system that uses a credential, updating it manually, and hoping nothing breaks at 2am. One leaked key can cascade across your entire estate.

With Zaita Secrets Management

Every application pulls its Locker via Bridge, Courier, or Workload API — encrypted end-to-end, with zero plaintext on the wire. Rotate a secret once; Zaita delivers the new value everywhere, automatically, with a full audit trail.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from security and infrastructure teams evaluating Zaita.

Does Zaita ever have access to my private keys?
No — never. Private keys are handled exclusively by a physically isolated signing system that has no network path to the internet. The web platform never sees key material in plaintext. Even if someone compromised the web platform entirely, your private keys would remain safe.
What is a Bridge and why does it need no inbound firewall rules?
A Bridge is a lightweight application you deploy on-premises. It polls the Zaita control plane for pending jobs — all communication is outbound HTTPS (port 443) initiated by the Bridge. Zaita never initiates a connection inward. This means you only need a standard outbound HTTPS rule, which almost every corporate firewall already permits. Bridges support high-availability by running multiple replicas, rotate cryptographic trust tokens on every poll, and self-update automatically.
How does Zaita handle the 47-day certificate mandate?
Zaita is purpose-built for short-lived certificates. Couriers run on a schedule (typically every 12 hours via cron or Task Scheduler) and automatically renew certificates when they approach the configured renewal threshold — without human involvement. With a 47-day certificate and a 14-day renewal window, every renewal happens automatically. You set the policy once; Zaita handles it indefinitely. Service restarts after renewal are triggered via configurable on-success hooks.
Is Zaita prepared for post-quantum cryptography?
The hardest part of migrating to post-quantum algorithms isn't the new algorithms — it's finding and updating every certificate in your estate quickly. Zaita's centralised control is the enabler of crypto agility: when your CA supports post-quantum algorithms such as ML-KEM, ML-DSA, or SLH-DSA (NIST FIPS 203–205), you update the policy in Zaita once and it re-issues and redeploys the entire estate automatically.
What authentication methods do Courier agents support?
Couriers support five authentication methods. The three recommended methods require no stored passwords or secrets — they use your cloud platform's native identity: SPIFFE/SPIRE (for Kubernetes and service mesh environments), Azure Workload Identity (for Azure VMs and Arc-enabled servers), and AWS IAM (for EC2, ECS, EKS, and more). Traditional certificate and client ID/secret authentication are also supported for legacy environments.
Which target systems can Zaita deploy certificates to automatically?
Bridges deploy certificates directly to Windows and Linux servers. On Windows, supported targets include IIS, Windows Certificate Store, Exchange Server, RDS Gateway, and SQL Server. On Linux, Zaita supports Nginx, Apache, HAProxy, Postfix, and any custom application via a script hook. Windows deployments support least-privilege access using Just Enough Administration (JEA).
What is a Secret Locker and how is it different from a generic secrets vault?
A Secret Locker is a named, access-controlled collection of secrets inside your tenant's Vault. Where a generic secrets vault typically grants access at the vault level, Zaita grants access at the Locker level — meaning each Courier, Bridge, or Workload can be given access only to the specific Locker it needs. An application running in production can pull its Locker without ever being able to read the database credentials held in a different team's Locker. All Lockers are versioned, and any individual secret within a Locker can be rolled back to a previous value instantly.
How are secrets encrypted in transit and at rest?
Secrets are stored exclusively as ciphertext inside the Secured Back Control Plane — the same isolated system that handles private key operations for certificates. The web portal and API layer (Front Control Plane) never hold plaintext secret values. When a Courier, Bridge, or Workload requests a Locker, delivery uses ECDH key exchange (EC P-521) with AES-256-GCM symmetric encryption. A fresh ephemeral key pair is generated for every delivery, providing forward secrecy — a captured delivery cannot be decrypted even if long-term keys were later compromised.
