Problems with Traditional SSH Key Based Authentication

Your SSH key-based authentication is a ticking time bomb. The manual, time-consuming process of managing keys for every user and every host leads to significant security and operational challenges:

  • Key Sprawl: SSH keys don't expire, leading to an ever-growing inventory of static, unmanaged keys that provide perpetual access. Moreover, keys are stored in USB sticks, shared folders, and emails.
  • Operational Headaches: Creating, distributing, and revoking keys across your infrastructure is laborious and prone to human error.
  • Weak Auditing: Without proper session logs, you lack the visibility and audit trails needed for compliance and security investigations.
  • Blind Trust: Users are forced to blindly trust host key fingerprints on their first connection (TOFU - Trust on First Use), opening the door to man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Key Reuse: Setting up and using the same SSH key pair to login to multiple servers increases the surface area of potential attacks.

BastionXP: The Ultimate Identity-Based SSH Certificate Management Solution

BastionXP Identity-Based SSH Certificate Management Software gives you complete control and visibility over your SSH certificate infrastructure from a single, centralized platform. Designed to scale with your business, it transforms SSH certificate management from a manual burden into a simple, automated process. Moreover, certificates are tied to server and user identity.

Key Features That Drive Security & Efficiency:

  • Centralized SSH Certificate Management: Gain a single pane of glass to view, manage, and audit every SSH certificate trail. This is the cornerstone of secure access.
  • Automated SSH Certificate Lifecycle: Our SSH Certificate Management Tool automates the entire certificate lifecycle—from certificate generation, signing and distribution to rotation and instant revocation. Eliminate manual processes and human error. Implement SSH certificate management best practices effortlessly.
  • Unrivaled Security: Achieve true zero-trust network access (ZTNA) by generating and distributing SSH certificates only after a successful SSO OIDC based user authentication.
  • Designed for All Work Environments: Whether you need Linux SSH Certificate management or support for other systems such as Windows or Mac, our solution integrates seamlessly into your existing workflow.
  • Identity-Based Access: Certificates are tied to user and host identities, ensuring that access is granted based on who you are, not just what key you have.
  • Enforced Expiry: Every certificate is short-lived, with a defined validity period, drastically reducing the window of vulnerability.
  • Effortless Onboarding & Offboarding: Single command to generate and manage short-lived SSH certificates for end users who need SSH access to servers. Short-lived user certificates, eliminate the need for user off-boarding process because certificates expire in few hours.
  • Avoids Key Sprawl: Short-lived SSH certificate based authentication avoid problems associated with public key sprawl. Certificates expire in few hours and become invalid even if copied or stored in multiple places.
  • Simplifies Auditing:Detailed audit log trails are generated for all user activities and certificate management actions. SSH session recording and replay feature helps reviewing every command input by an user.

BastionXP is built for organizations that need to enforce Zero Trust Security. BastionXP private PKI/CA simplifies and automates secure access to any resource anywhere without comprimising security.

Automated Certificate & Key Management

BastionXP PKI/CA automates SSH, X.509 certificate and key creation, signing, distribution and revocation.

Identity Based Access Control

Certificates are tied to host and end user identity. Certificates are issued only after a successful SSO login using Two-Factor Authentication(2FA).

Avoids Public Key Sprawl

Issues short-lived client SSH, SSL/TLS X.509 client certificates and keys to end users, eliminating the risks associated with public key sprawl.

Zero Trust Security

Generate SSL/TLS X.509 server and client certificates for mutual TLS(mTLS) to enable client authentication and end-to-end encryption.

Auditing & Compliance

All user activities are logged to provide a detailed log trail for auditing and compliance purposes. Logs can be analyzed later using a log analyzer to identify anomaly.

Role Based Access Control

Assign roles to your team members and restrict access to your cloud resources using RBAC policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is BastionXP?

    BastionXP is a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) / Certificate Authority (CA) that integrates with Identity and Access Management(IAM) software to create, sign and distribute SSH and SSL/TLS X.509 certificates and keys to servers and end-users upon successful SSO login via OAuth providers such as Google G-Suite, Microsoft Office 365, Okta, Keycloak, GitHub and more.

    BastionXP acts as a private PKI/CA for your organization to authenticate access to your cloud resources and enable end-to-end encryption for all communication between your cloud resources and end user access.

    BastionXP also has a built-in SSH proxy server that can be configured to function as an SSH bastion or jump host. BastionXP works seamlessly with OpenSSH server and any SSH client software.
