The Enterprise

Challenges

As the organization's certificate footprint grew, manual lifecycle management became a liability. Certificates were scattered across domains, servers, and cloud services. They were tracked by spreadsheet, enrolled inconsistently, and expired without warning.

Manual management at scale

Spreadsheet tracking blocked enterprise-wide policy enforcement and gave no visibility into who issued keys or certificates, leaving auditing unreliable and the environment exposed to errors.

01 LIFECYCLE

Silent certificate outages

With no automated discovery across domains, servers, devices, and cloud, certificates expired silently, causing SSL/TLS outages that hit security posture, trust, reputation, finances, and compliance.

02 DISCOVERY & OUTAGES

No enrollment controls

No standardized process for requesting and obtaining certificates from CAs eroded trust, disrupted secure communications, and left the environment non-compliant with standards and regulations such as HIPAA.

03 ENROLLMENT

When we assessed the environment, certificates were everywhere and visibility was nowhere. Renewals were tracked in spreadsheets that could not keep up with the scale or the compliance burden, and every cycle carried the risk of another silent outage.
