Avanpost has released version 1.5 of its corporate certificate authority, Avanpost CA. The update introduces native support for Russian cryptographic standards by integrating the CryptoPro CSP provider and utilizing the CAPI interface for key operations and encryption.
The new version enhances security for private keys through integration with CryptoPro HSM and Vault. The HSM integration ensures that cryptographic operations occur within the hardware module, while the Vault Transit Secrets Engine allows for a Cryptography as a Service model, preventing key extraction.
Avanpost CA 1.5 includes upgraded auditing and monitoring tools. Security specialists can now utilize a dedicated audit module to filter logs, export event data via syslog to external SIEM or SOC systems, and generate statistical reports on users, roles, and certificates.
The platform features a centralized management console for configuration and initialization. Administrators can use a setup wizard for initial deployment and manage licenses, migration tools, and scheduling from a single interface.
