Keyfactor expands AI identity platform

Entities: Jordan Rackie · Cofide · Experian · Keyfactor · Fastly

Overview

After securing more than $1 billion in new capital and launching an enlarged Global Partner Program in July 2026, Keyfactor announced the acquisition of UK‑based Cofide. The purchase brings Cofide’s short‑lived verified‑identity platform for AI agents and cloud workloads into Keyfactor’s Trust Control Plane, giving security teams a unified system to manage non‑human identities across cloud environments. CEO Jordan Rackie said the deal “strengthens our vision for the Trust Control Plane by extending trusted identity beyond traditional systems.”

The acquisition aligns with Keyfactor’s recent moves to tackle AI‑driven machine‑identity complexity, deepen AI‑powered co‑selling tools and cloud‑provider integrations, and prepare enterprise digital‑trust infrastructures for post‑quantum cryptography.
