Increase security
\nin your organization<\/p><\/h2><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Manage your digital certificates with wisely. Prevent downtime and system failures caused by expired certificates. Monitor all implemented SSL certificates.<\/div>\n<\/div>

Cryptography algorithms<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Important role of digital certificates<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

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.<\/p>\n

Organisations can purchase certificates from public certification authorities or have them issued by an internal certificate authority (internal PKI).<\/p>\n

All certificates should be treated as an essential assets and managed similarly to other assets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Authentication<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Certificates are widely used to identify a user, application, machine, or device before granting access to a resource. They are easy to deploy using auto enrolment process that is seamlessly integrated with a corporate directory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Encryption<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

SSL & TLS based encryption has become a standard use case for certificates. Well-managed and properly configured, certificate based encryption protects all communication throughout internal networks and across the internet.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Integrity<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Certificates contribute to maintain the integrity, authenticity and confidentiality of data in transit or at rest. They ensure that data was not changed and prevent any attempt of altering it by unauthorised people, devices and applications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Compliance<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

The implementation of a certificate lifecycle management system will meet your organisation\u2019s compliance requirements by enforcing defined policies and securing logs of all certificate operations for the audit process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Digital certificate life cycle management<\/h3>\n

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.
\nThey are used to secure communication and e-mails, in digital signatures and code signing, in client authentication, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Are you managing your certificates manually?<\/h3>\n

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.
\nThe growing use of certificates makes their monitoring very time-consuming and prone to human error.<\/p>\n<\/div>
