Discovery tools

Discovery is a core feature of DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager that's built into the same tools used for certificate lifecycle automation. For example:

  • DigiCert agents automatically discover certificates for the web server applications they manage.

  • DigiCert sensors automatically discover certificates on the network appliances and cloud services they manage.

Trust Lifecycle Manager also provides the following proactive discovery tools to find digital trust assets across your organization, calculate security ratings, and add them to your centralized inventory for ongoing monitoring and management.
