Certificate Management

Certificate Management refers to the centralised administration of digital certificates within an IT infrastructure. It covers the issuance, distribution, monitoring, renewal and revocation of certificates throughout their lifecycle. Digital certificates are used to verify the identity of servers, devices, applications or users and to enable encrypted connections. They are relevant to TLS and SSL connections, VPNs and other security mechanisms. Structured Certificate Management helps organisations identify expired or insecure certificates at an early stage, reducing security risks and connection issues. Particularly in complex IT infrastructures, centralised certificate administration simplifies the management of large numbers of certificates and supports secure and reliable IT operations.
