Certificates, passwords and device identities – protected automatically
Certificates now expire faster than most IT teams can track by hand: the CA/Browser Forum's move to a 100-day maximum certificate lifetime takes effect in March 2027, on top of the passwords, service accounts, API keys and IoT devices that already pile up in any organisation with a complex estate. Meanwhile frameworks like NIS2 are pushing Zero Trust from a buzzword into a legal expectation.
THE CHALLENGE
Every organisation with a complex IT estate now holds thousands of digital identities (certificate lifecycle management, in industry terms): server and printer certificates, MFP credentials, service accounts, API keys and IoT devices. When one is forgotten, it becomes an outage, a breach, or a compliance finding.
– 72% of organisations have had an outage from an expired certificate or forgotten credential.
WHAT CHANGES FOR YOU
No more outages from expired certificates:
renewal runs automatically before the deadline, not after.
Fewer tickets, more time for real work:
identities are managed by a system that runs itself, not by hand.
Full visibility, no blind spots:
every certificate, account and device identity on the network, in one place.
Audit-ready in minutes:
compliance reports on demand instead of days spent gathering evidence.
Zero Trust, actually enforced:
every access is checked and logged, not just promised in a policy.
WHY GENIUS KAPPA – THE USP
Tools like CyberArk and Venafi manage identities on servers and workstations – but they don't reach the printers, multifunction devices and IoT gateways that quietly hold just as many certificates and credentials. Genius Kappa does. It was commissioned by German federal security authorities after established vendors fell short, and is already running live across 16,000+ devices.
IN NUMBERS
Up to 90% less manual identity admin
1,000+ companies protected
ISO 27001:2022 certified, made in Germany
CyberArk and Venafi don't reach your MFDs, printers, or IoT gateways. Kappa does. Commissioned by German Federal security authorities after every major vendor failed. Live across 16,000+ devices. With the CA/Browser Forum's 100-day certificate mandate taking effect March 2027, inaction is no longer an option.
Attack surface and compliance
Discover overlooked identities and document access controls across the estate.
Certificate and ticket workload
Automate renewal and rotation instead of tracking individual changes manually.
Risk and availability
Identify expiry risks before affected services are interrupted.
Built for complex estates
Genius Kappa comes from Genius Bytes, an independent German software manufacturer with over 25 years of document and IT-process experience. The supplied Folio1 material describes deployment across 16,000+ devices and up to 90% less manual identity administration. These are manufacturer claims for the draft, not measured outcomes from a Folio1 customer.
