QCecuring CBOM vs Keyfactor Crypto Discovery
Keyfactor acquired InfoSec Global (AgileSec) and CipherInsights in 2025, adding cryptographic discovery to their CLM platform. QCecuring CBOM is purpose-built for comprehensive cryptographic asset inventory across 15+ infrastructure categories.
Feature-by-Feature
Both platforms serve the cryptographic discovery and post-quantum readiness market. The difference is scope, independence, and deployment flexibility.
| Capability | QCecuring CBOM | Keyfactor (AgileSec) |
|---|---|---|
| Background | Purpose-built CBOM platform from the ground up | Keyfactor acquired InfoSec Global (AgileSec) in 2025 |
| Source code scanning | ✓ 14 languages, 572+ patterns | ✓ AgileSec Analytics — application-focused |
| Network endpoint scanning | ✓ TLS, SSH, SMTP, gRPC, VPN, DNSSEC (11 protocols) | ✓ CipherInsights — passive network monitoring |
| Filesystem scanning | ✓ Certs, keys, JKS, PFX, SSH keys, PGP, NSS | Available via AgileSec Analytics |
| Cloud KMS | ✓ AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, GCP Cloud KMS, Oracle | Growing cloud coverage |
| HSM inventory | ✓ PKCS#11, Thales Luna, TPM 2.0, YubiKey | HSM support available |
| Container / Kubernetes | ✓ TLS secrets, cert-manager, service mesh mTLS, SPIFFE | Integration with Keyfactor Command |
| Output format | CycloneDX CBOM (JSON + XML) | Proprietary + growing CBOM standard support |
| Quantum risk scoring | ✓ Per-asset HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW classification | ✓ Quantum readiness assessment |
| Crypto-agility (remediation) | Integrates with QCecuring CLM for certificate remediation | ✓ AgileSec Agility — update crypto without source changes |
| CLM integration | ✓ Native — same platform family | ✓ Native — Keyfactor Command |
| Standalone deployment | ✓ CBOM works independently of CLM | Increasingly bundled with Keyfactor Command |
| FedRAMP | Not FedRAMP certified | ✓ AgileSec Analytics FedRAMP authorized (2025) |
| Pricing model | Platform licensing — right-sized | Enterprise licensing (Keyfactor platform) |
Choose QCecuring CBOM when:
- You want a standalone CBOM product without buying a full CLM platform
- CycloneDX-native output is important for your toolchain
- You need broad infrastructure coverage beyond just code and network
- You want faster, lighter deployment without enterprise platform overhead
Consider Keyfactor when:
- You already use Keyfactor Command for CLM and want integrated crypto discovery
- AgileSec Agility (update crypto without source changes) is a priority
- You need FedRAMP-authorized crypto discovery (US federal)
- Budget supports Keyfactor enterprise licensing
