AppViewX Recognized for Certificate Lifecycle Management, Machine Identity Management and PKI-as-a-Service Innovation
SAN FRANCISCO, March 23, 2026 — AppViewX, a leader in automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) software, today announced it has won three Global InfoSec Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM) at the RSA Conference 2026:
- Best Solution – Certificate Lifecycle Management
- Editor’s Choice – Machine Identity Management
- Visionary – PKI-as-a-Service
The company will be exhibiting at RSA Conference 2026 in San Francisco at North Expo Booth #4236, where attendees can see how the AppViewX platform automates certificate lifecycle management and machine identity governance, and modernizes PKI operations.
“Being recognized with three awards from Cyber Defense Magazine demonstrates the depth and breadth of our market and innovation leadership in Certificate Lifecycle Management and PKI,” said Alex Babar, CMO for AppViewX. “Digital trust depends on managing millions of certificates across distributed infrastructure. These awards reflect the growing importance of automating certificate lifecycle management and modernizing PKI, especially now that validity periods are shrinking down to 47 days.”
“AppViewX embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that help mitigate cyber risk,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.“AppViewX embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that help mitigate cyber risk,” said Gary S.

Best Solution: Certificate Lifecycle Management
AppViewX was named the best solution for automating certificate operations across hybrid and multicloud environments. As certificate validity periods drop and renewal cycles accelerate, manual processes and fragmented tooling increasingly lead to outages and operational disruption. The AppViewX platform centralizes certificate discovery, automates issuance and renewal workflows, and enforces cryptographic policies across infrastructure, applications, and DevOps pipelines.
Editor’s Choice: Machine Identity Management
AppViewX was also recognized as the top choice for Machine Identity Management. In cloud-native platforms and Kubernetes environments, machine identities are multiplying far faster than traditional governance tools can manage. The AppViewX platform delivers unified discovery, automated lifecycle management, and policy enforcement across machine identities, providing continuous visibility into certificates embedded across applications, infrastructure components, and supply-chain dependencies.
Visionary: PKI-as-a-Service
AppViewX was also recognized for modernizing enterprise PKI with a cloud-delivered private PKI platform designed for hybrid and multicloud environments. Aging on-premises PKI infrastructures struggle to support short-lived certificates, cloud-native workloads, and large-scale machine identity growth. AppViewX replaces this legacy model with a highly available, policy-driven PKI service that automates certificate issuance, governance, and cryptographic policy enforcement while eliminating infrastructure management overhead.
The AppViewX platform unifies CLM automation, PKI services, cryptographic governance, and machine identity management into a single system of record. This integrated approach allows security, infrastructure, and DevOps teams to maintain consistent cryptographic policies while reducing operational risk and preventing outages caused by expired or misconfigured certificates.
