PKI Solutions Turns 11: A Legacy of Innovation and Leadership

On April 1, 2025, PKI Solutions LLC proudly celebrates its 11th anniversary—a testament to over a decade of unwavering dedication to cybersecurity excellence. Founded in 2014 by Mark B. Cooper, affectionately known as “The PKI Guy,” the company has grown from a visionary idea into a leader in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solutions.

Mark’s journey began during his tenure at Microsoft, where he honed his expertise in PKI and identity management. Recognizing the critical need for robust security solutions, he established PKI Solutions to address organizations’ complex challenges in safeguarding their digital assets. Since its inception, the company has been at the forefront of designing, deploying, and managing PKI environments for a diverse clientele, including Fortune 500 companies across sectors like energy, healthcare, and finance.​

Growing Together as a Team

PKI Solutions is more than a company—we are a team of experts, problem-solvers, and innovators. Over the past 11 years, we have built a culture centered on collaboration, curiosity, and excellence. Our shared commitment to growth extends beyond technology; it’s about continuously evolving as a team, as leaders in PKI security, and as a trusted partner to our clients.

We take immense pride in the relationships we’ve built—with each other, our clients, and the broader cybersecurity community. Every challenge we solve and every milestone we reach is a reflection of the dedication and passion that drives us forward. Our success isn’t just measured by the solutions we provide but by the trust we foster and the lasting impact we create.

Breaking New Ground with PKI Spotlight

As we celebrate 11 years, we recognize that our greatest achievements wouldn’t be possible without the incredible PKI community that surrounds us. From the beginning, our mission has been to empower organizations, educate professionals, and strengthen PKI security worldwide.

Over the years, through conversations, collaborations, and real-world challenges shared by our community, one need became increasingly clear—continuous monitoring and real-time visibility into PKI environments was a critical gap. Because of the insights, trust, and support from the PKI community, we were able to turn that challenge into action, leading to the creation of PKI Spotlight—the first and only real-time PKI monitoring and observability solution.

PKI Spotlight isn’t just a technological advancement; it’s a testament to what we can achieve together. It reflects the shared expertise, dedication, and passion of the security professionals, organizations, and experts who continue to push the industry forward. Your trust, feedback, and commitment to strengthening PKI security made this innovation possible.

As we mark this milestone, we celebrate not just our growth, but the entire PKI community that has helped shape it. Thank you for being a part of this journey—we’re honored to share this birthday with you. 🎉

Here’s to 11 years of excellence, and to many more years of pioneering advancements in cybersecurity.​
