New: Check out Step Certificates, an online certificate authority and related tools (all open source) for secure automated certificate management, so you can apply Zero Trust methodologies and run TLS everywhere.
Zero trust improves security and eliminates the need for VPNs and firewalls by moving access controls from the network perimeter to the data and software you’re trying to protect.
The foundation of zero trust is the idea that identity, not location, is what matters most for security.
Identity-based access control lets you precisely grant the authority necessary to do a job.
Integrating security at the application layer is architecturally simpler, easier to operate, and more secure.
Smallstep is currently working with select design partners on zero trust initiatives. We offer a comprehensive suite of infrastructure components and operational tools for building and maintaining zero trust systems.
An open source command line tool for working with zero trust technologies. Create and sign certificates, inspect and verify JWTs, and forget about memorizing openssl usage for good.
Secure automated certificate management is easy with step certificates. Certificates let you use TLS to connect across clouds and easily access services and applications from anywhere.
