Machine Identity Management
SPIFFE-based workload identity, automated certificate lifecycle, and cross-cloud federation. Eliminate static credentials for every machine and service.
The Machine Identity Challenge
Workloads use long-lived static credentials that are easily compromised
SPIFFE-based identities with short-lived, automatically rotated credentials
Certificate management is manual, error-prone, and causes outages
Automated certificate lifecycle from issuance to renewal with zero-downtime rotation
No standard way to identify workloads across clusters and clouds
Universal workload identity federation using SPIFFE IDs across any infrastructure
Machine-to-machine trust is all-or-nothing with no granular controls
Fine-grained workload authorization policies based on identity, context, and behavior
How It Works
Attest Workloads
Platform attestors verify workload identity using Kubernetes metadata, cloud instance data, or custom attributes
Issue Identities
SPIFFE SVIDs are issued to verified workloads with short lifetimes and automatic renewal
Enforce & Rotate
Workloads authenticate using SVIDs, policies are enforced per-request, and credentials rotate automatically
Features
SPIFFE/SPIRE Integration
Native SPIFFE identity issuance for every workload. Automatic SVID generation and distribution across Kubernetes, VMs, and bare metal.
Workload Identity Federation
Federate workload identities across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premises. Enable cross-cloud service communication without shared secrets.
Certificate Lifecycle
Automated X.509 and JWT-SVID issuance, renewal, and revocation. Integrate with existing PKI or use the built-in certificate authority.
Automated Rotation
Rotate credentials on schedule or on-demand without downtime. Gradual rollout ensures old and new credentials work during transition.
Identity Attestation
Verify workload identity using platform attestors for Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, and custom environments.
mTLS Everywhere
Enforce mutual TLS between all services automatically. No code changes required with sidecar or library-based mesh integration.
Why TigerIdentity for Machine Identity
Standards-based machine identity that scales from a single cluster to global multi-cloud.
Standards-Based
Built on SPIFFE and SPIRE standards ensuring interoperability and avoiding vendor lock-in for workload identity.
Zero Downtime
Credential rotation and certificate renewal happen transparently with overlap periods that prevent service disruptions.
Cross-Platform
Unified machine identity across Kubernetes, VMs, serverless, edge, and multi-cloud with consistent policy enforcement.
Complete Visibility
Dashboard showing every machine identity, certificate expiry status, rotation history, and communication patterns.
