Increase security
in your organization
Cryptography algorithms
One way for organisations to increase security is by using cryptography algorithms to encrypt data. The RSA algorithm is a popular one for encryption key exchange used during SSL sessions, and for digital signatures that provide data integrity, non-repudiation, and authentication.
Encryption keys are private and must be associated with a person or organization. Digital certificates bind the identity of the certificate holder to an encryption key.
Important role of digital certificates
Digital certificates play an important role in securing various types of business data and processes. They are used to secure communication and e-mails, in digital signatures and code signing, in client authentication, and more.
Organisations can purchase certificates from public certification authorities or have them issued by an internal certificate authority (internal PKI).
All certificates should be treated as an essential assets and managed similarly to other assets.
8 PKI & Certificate concerns
Digital certificate life cycle management
Securing data, whether at rest or in transit, has become a major concern for IT managers because of security risks originating both in-house and outside. Digital certificates play an important role in securing various types of business data and processes.
They are used to secure communication and e-mails, in digital signatures and code signing, in client authentication, and more.
Are you managing your certificates manually?
Organisations are facing growing potential risks when using large numbers of unmanaged certificates. Some IT managers, responsible for hundreds or even thousands of certificates, still manage certificates manually. Manual management cannot provide a complete overview of the situation.
The growing use of certificates makes their monitoring very time-consuming and prone to human error.
C-View Certificate Management
C-View provides a comprehensive solution for the management and monitoring of enterprise PKI certificates, while preventing revenue losses and damage to the organisation’s credibility, by minimising the security risks associated with expired, invalid or fraudulent digital certificates.
C-View is a proactive solution that assists in reducing the total cost of certificate management by allowing enterprises to handle an unlimited volume of digital certificates efficiently, while lowering the risk of service outages and system downtime.
Key functions of C-View
C-View is designed to centrally manage the entire life cycle of all digital certificates, including issuance, renewal and revocation of certificates from different sources, such as Microsoft AD CS, certificate files, SSL certificates from all platforms and local machine certificate stores.
In addition, C-View automatically discovers the MS-CA hierarchy, loads CA certificates, scans the organization’s networks for SSL certificates, and issues various certificate expiration alerts at scheduled times, as well as PKI alerts like CRLs failures, CA certificates issues and more.
The main functions of C-View are to simplify the management of corporate public key infrastructure, to streamline the administrative work of the IT personnel, to prevent downtime in business services, and to save on IT operating costs.
