Building and operating your own PKI seems straightforward on paper, but in practice it requires specialized expertise, ongoing maintenance, and significant investment in hardware and security controls. Traditional PKIs demand HSM deployment, certificate authority management, redundancy planning, and constant upkeep to stay compliant with new standards. These costs quickly outweigh the benefits, while gaps in management can become serious vulnerabilities. A managed, cloud-native PKI like Dynamic PKI eliminates these burdens and provides enterprise-grade security from day one, freeing teams to focus on strategic priorities.
