Case Study: Schneider Electric secures device and software trust at scale with Keyfactor

Schneider Electric cuts software signing costs 10x with Keyfactor

Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, faced challenges with its fragmented and costly purpose-built systems for firmware and software signing as its product lines expanded. These siloed systems created complex workflows, limited visibility, and could not scale to meet growing global and regulatory demands. To address this, the company partnered with vendor Keyfactor to implement a centralized solution using their EJBCA and SignServer products.

By deploying Keyfactor's platform, Schneider Electric unified its certificate issuance and signing operations onto a single, standards-based foundation. This solution resulted in a dramatic reduction in costs, including a 10x drop in software signing expenses and an 80% decrease in key ceremony costs. Keyfactor enabled the company to securely support over a million signing events annually, achieve audit-ready compliance, and prepare for future cryptographic standards.
