Right, this is only a problem if you don't have another form of key and don't have login auditing
With access to Userify, an attacker could upload a key to any server anywhere and still have access.
In the original post, I mentioned we already had an easy way to rotate keys via automation. We also had CloudTrail alerts and AWS Config alerts around port 22 security group rules (they were closed by default).
Sure Userify provides a lot of these things like key management and audit trails but my original point was it's silly to worry about storing private keys in SaaS when you use SaaS for other authentication and authorization anyway.
