Certificate Lifecycle Management

(CLM)

What is Certificate Lifecycle Management?

Cogito’s Certificate Lifecycle Management prevents unplanned outages by managing certificate expiry. Importantly it builds the relationship between the device, application or service and the certificates. This makes our application business outcome centric.

The Certificate Lifecycle Management functionality automates certificate creation for:

  • SCEP: Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol
  • AE: Auto Enrol
  • API: Application Programming Interface
  • ACME: Automated Certificate Management Environment
  • ACME+: Automated Certificate Management Environment Plus (Enhanced features)
  • CMP: Certificate Management Protocol

It utilises Discovery tools and build relationships with certificates to make managing and reporting far better and service centric.
