Keyfactor announced in a press release its intent to acquire Cofide, an identity platform based in the UK that secures software workloads and AI agents in cloud environments.

Keyfactor said the acquisition will extend its Trust Control Plane to workloads and AI agents. The company said security teams would use one system to manage and govern non human identities across an enterprise.
