The plattform for efficiant certificate lifecycle management.
Digital certificates are the foundation of modern IT security.
They secure communications, authenticate systems and users, and ensure the integrity of sensitive data.
People (employees, customers, business partners, etc.), electronic devices, and IT services need a digital identity to interact securely with one another. Most of these identities are represented by X.509 certificates.
OUR SOLUTION
primeID AUTOMATE is a multi-tenant solution for managing the certificate lifecycle. The solution provides centralized control and transparency over the certificate ecosystem, minimizing the risk of business disruption caused by expired certificates or human error. It increases operational efficiency through automated and customizable workflows and enhances the ability to respond to changes in cybersecurity standards.
primeID AUTOMATE automates the entire lifecycle of digital certificates and ensures efficient management, compliance, and security of certificates across all systems. It optimizes processes, reduces errors, improves scalability, and integrates with public certification authorities and internal PKI and enterprise systems, enabling organizations to effectively manage and keep their certificates up to date.
Features
Certificate Discovery is the first and crucial step toward professional certificate management. It automatically detects all certificates in your infrastructure, regardless of who issued them (internal CAs as well as external public CAs), where they are located, or how they are managed.
primeid AUTOMATE enables the operation of multiple independent organizational units, known as clients, on a shared infrastructure without being able to see or influence one another. This also forms the basis for usage-based billing of CLM services.
Multitenancy is a crucial factor, particularly in the areas of PKI and certificate lifecycle management:
- A large Organization can map subsidiaries as separate tenants, each with its own CA hierarchy, its own certificate templates, and its own administrator
- A managed service provider can provide its customers with a dedicated PKI environment, operated on a shared platform
- A government agency can clearly separate departments with different security requirements
- An IT service provider can offer certificate management as a service. Scalable, efficient, and compliant.
A central dashboard displays each certificate along with its expiration date, issuing CA, responsible entity, and risk assessment. No more blind spots.
Certificates that are about to expire are detected early, reported, and automatically renewed depending on the configuration. Planned actions, no time pressure, fewer errors, no outages, and no ad hoc tasks.
The upcoming migration to post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) methods requires careful planning and implementation. Weak algorithms, short key lengths, and expired or revoked certificates become immediately apparent and can be specifically addressed. An inventory of the algorithms and protocols in use is always the starting point for this. primeID AUTOMATE is a powerful, centralized tool for this first step and for the entire migration process.
