Top use cases for private certificate authorities in public sector organizations
Public sector organizations face rising cybersecurity, compliance, and operational challenges, especially in complex hybrid environments. Private certificate authorities (CAs) offer enhanced control, automation, and security tailored to internal systems and Zero Trust frameworks. Unlike public CAs, private CAs allow agencies to manage internal identities, devices, and applications while meeting strict regulatory requirements. Key use cases include identity access control, device authentication, securing internal services, lifecycle automation, governance, and document/code signing. By deploying private or hybrid CA models, public sector organizations gain scalability, compliance assurance, and crypto agility.
