Smallstep is a certificate management and device identity platform that helps organizations automate encryption, authentication, and access control across devices, users, and workloads. It provides a unified approach to establishing digital trust using cryptographic certificates rather than passwords or shared secrets. Smallstep is designed for IT, security, and DevOps teams that manage distributed infrastructure across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
