How PKI would have prevented Salesloft Breach

Posted in News.

News | mTLS | Risk Applicable: SaaS | Enterprise | Community Edition Salesloft Breach and how PKI eliminates the risk of OAuth token hijacking Introduction Certificates, specifically mTLS (Mutual TLS) certificates, are a powerful mechanism to address OAuth token theft. They don’t prevent the token from being stolen itself, but they severely limit its usefulness to an attacker, effectively neutralizing the threat. The core idea is to bind the OAuth token to a specific client using a cryptographic key pair, making the stolen token unusable on any other client. Here’s a breakdown of...

Secure Device Management: How MDM Works with Certificates

Posted in Knowledgebase. No Comments on Secure Device Management: How MDM Works with Certificates

Secure Device Management: How MDM Works with Certificates The Problem: Weak Authentication in Modern Workplaces Many companies still rely on passwords for device authentication—but passwords can be stolen, shared, or hacked. A more secure approach uses digital certificates, which act like unforgeable ID cards for devices. To deploy certificates at scale, organizations use Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems integrated with certificate management solution – such as Securetron’s PKI Trust Manager. This guide explains how the integration works. Why Certificates + MDM =...

Certificate Discovery

Posted in Knowledgebase. No Comments on Certificate Discovery

Certificate Discovery What is Certificate Discovery? Certificate Discovery is the process of finding and keeping track of all the digital certificates in your organization’s IT systems. Certificates are like digital IDs that secure websites, apps, servers, and devices. But in large, complex environments, it’s easy to lose track of where these certificates are, who’s responsible for them, and when they expire. Certificate Discovery helps you get a clear picture of your entire certificate landscape. Why Does Certificate Discovery Matter? Prevent Surprise Expirations Certificates don’t last...
