What Entrust does
Entrust creates value by supplying digital trust infrastructure to organisations that need to verify users, secure access, manage keys and certificates, protect cryptographic operations and issue digital or physical credentials. Its model combines cloud software, managed services and specialised security infrastructure, allowing customers to centralise identity and cryptographic controls across complex environments. The portfolio structure supports land-and-expand adoption: IAM, identity verification, PKI, certificate management and HSM services reinforce one another and increase switching costs once deployed.
Category differentiation
Entrust is not a consumer bank, card network or certificate retailer. It is an enterprise security vendor selling identity, cryptographic and issuance infrastructure to organisations.
