Network scans

The Network scans feature uses DigiCert sensors to scan your network and find all your internal and public-facing TLS/SSL certificates, regardless of the issuing Certificate Authority (CA). The sensors are small software applications that you install in strategic locations.

Each scan is linked to one sensor. Configure the scan to examine different port numbers on specific fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) or IP addresses for the presence of TLS/SSL certificates. Run the scan immediately, once at a specified time, or multiple times on a set schedule.

These scans provide detailed information about certificates in your network:

  • Common name

  • Expiration date

  • Certificate status

  • Issuing certificate authority

  • Ports and IP addresses of the certificate host

  • Certificate security rating

Scans can also identify the operating system and server application of your host, and any unsecured IP addresses and ports with missing TLS/SSL certificates.
