Trust Service Providers (TSPs) worldwide rely on Nexus PKI to deliver high-quality and secure services, ranging from issuing trusted digital identities to enabling secure online transactions. Our robust and integrated PKI platform empowers TSPs to facilitate identity management, certificate management, digital signatures, and access control, ensuring a seamless and secure experience for users.
This guarantees that individuals can interact with digital platforms confidently, knowing that their identities and transactions are protected. Therefore, governments, enterprises, and individuals are in dire need of PKI adoption and implementation.
Strategic alignment with Asia PKI Consortium
Nexus' decision to join the APKIC aligns with its commitment to secure development in Asia. With a growing presence in the region, Nexus, in collaboration with the consortium, aims to develop standards and principles that foster interoperability of PKI across the region. “This strategic alignment is not a business decision; it's a community initiative to reduce barriers and promote a more connected Asia through shared expertise and resources,” states Tejas Lagad, Director at Nexus for the region.
As Nexus takes its place among the esteemed members of the APKIC, we are excited about our contributions to the consortium's initiatives. “By aligning with TSPs and the consortium's mission, Nexus is contributing to the advancement of cybersecurity while reinforcing the foundation of secure digital interactions in the evolving landscape of the Asian digital economy,” concludes Lagad.
