Business
Challenges
In 2008, ASTI began its research into setting up the Root CA system by looking at different potential CA solutions.
ASTI encountered many technical challenges especially in term of cross platforms support and flexibility offered by other PKI solutions. Nevertheless, ASTI also wish to move forward and to make their Root CA trusted by all the common browsers.
The
Solution
SecureMetric proposed PKl-ln-A-Box, an ideal appliance based all-in-one PKI solution that can fulfill Lazada’s PKI project requirements out of the box. PKl-ln-A-Box consists of well designed security platform in a industrial grade made in Germany hardware together with EJBCA Enterprise + FIPS Level 3 certified PCle HSM.
With PKl-ln-A-Box, it help to simplify the PKI implementation with shorter time to market while keeping the project costs within Lazada’s budget. SecureMetric delivered the PKl-ln-A-Box Appliances along with comprehensive training and consultancy. SecureMetric is able to deliver speed and quality with reduced support turn-around time by leveraging on technical competency and proximity (HQ in Malaysia and offices in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore).
Lazada joins the growing number of organizations moving away from the “self-help” model of EJBCA Community to the professionally supported PKl-ln-A-Box ..
