Compare Evo Security vs. Keywhiz

Eliminate the practice of sharing credentials, create robust administrative permissions, implement comprehensive login security for your clients, and satisfy insurance and compliance obligations with Evo Security. EPIC represents the next significant advancement for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), Network Operations Centers (NOCs), and Security Operations Centers (SOCs) that aim to mitigate the risks of credential sharing while ensuring secure logins for endpoints, network devices, and web applications in a unified manner. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect of managed services is the necessity for MSP administrators to internally share customer passwords and multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes. While Password Managers and various Password Rotation tools provide some level of convenience and improvements, they ultimately perpetuate the same issues. With cybercriminals increasingly targeting MSPs and regulatory demands calling for better solutions, this unwanted practice has reached its limit. The Evo Privileged Access Manager allows for seamless access management in scenarios where technicians and administrators need to interact with the Evo platform, whether in a managed or co-managed customer environment. This flexibility ensures that security protocols are maintained while still providing the necessary access for operational efficiency.

Keywhiz serves as a robust solution for the management and distribution of sensitive information, making it particularly compatible with service-oriented architectures (SOA). This presentation provides a concise overview of its functionalities. Traditional methods often involve placing secrets within configuration files adjacent to the source code, or transferring files to servers through out-of-band methods; both approaches pose significant risks of exposure and complicate tracking efforts. In contrast, Keywhiz enhances the security and ease of secret management by allowing secrets to be centrally stored in a clustered environment, with all data encrypted in a database. Clients securely access their authorized secrets using mutually authenticated TLS (mTLS), ensuring a high level of security during transmission. Administrators can manage Keywhiz through a command-line interface (CLI), facilitating user-friendly operations. To support various workflows, Keywhiz offers automation APIs that utilize mTLS for secure communication. Every organization invariably has services or systems that necessitate the safeguarding of secrets, including items such as TLS certificates, GPG keys, API tokens, and database credentials. While Keywhiz is dependable and actively used in production environments, it is worth noting that occasional updates may disrupt backward compatibility of the API. As such, organizations should remain vigilant about testing changes before deployment.
