Automated Certificate Management With E-semnatura
In a large enterprise environment, it can be difficult to maintain visibility on all digital certificates. If some certificates are not properly accounted for, outages can easily occur, resulting in real financial losses for the enterprise. Outages that affect customers can also impact brand reputation and consumer confidence.
With E-Semnatura, preventing outages is a frictionless, automated process. All certificates and keys remain secured in a centrally-managed hardware security module (HSM) or key manager, ensuring full visibility at all times. HSM certificates are automatically renewed as needed to avoid downtime. Security leaders can grant, revoke, manage, and audit permissions on a per-key or per-user basis from a single HSM interface.
Certificates are scattered across the enterprise but must be frequently renewed.
Enterprises must manage a plethora of certificates. In most cases, both hardware security module (HSM) certificates and the corresponding private keys are distributed out to endpoint devices, presenting potential cybersecurity risks and challenges with maintaining full visibility.
How do you avoid outages?
E-Semnatura automates hardware security module (HSM) certificate renewal to prevent outages while private keys remain centrally secured and managed.
Centralized Management Certificates & Private Keys
When you deploy E-Semnatura, all certificates and private keys are centrally managed within the HSM. This enables cybersecurity leaders to set and enforce policy from a single interface.
Complete Visibility
All certificates and keys secured are managed from a centralized interface, so it’s easy to maintain an exhaustive inventory of all HSM certificates and perform necessary audits.
While the certificates are sent to clients, a copy of each HSM certificate is stored centrally, and the private keys are never distributed to endpoint devices. This approach improves cybersecurity and simplifies outage prevention.
Centralized Security For All Private Keys
With E-Semnatura, certificates are distributed to clients, but the sensitive private keys are always secured in a non-exportable state in a centralized HSM or key manager. The private keys never leave the secure confines of the HSM or key manager.
Automated Certificate Renewals
E-semnatura automatically renews HSM certificates before they expire, avoiding costly outages. This process occurs without any direct involvement from cybersecurity leaders, simplifying certificate lifecycle management for the enterprise.
Advanced Cybersecurity Features
E-Semnatura enables the enterprise to easily and seamlessly enforce granular cybersecurity controls, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), device authentication, approval workflows, IP address whitelisting, notifications, and more.
