Discovery now available in all CertCentral accounts

We are happy to announce that all existing CertCentral accounts now include Discovery, our newest and most robust certificate discovery tool.

Note: For those who were using Certificate Inspector, Discovery replaces our long time DigiCert tool, Certificate Inspector.

By default, Discovery includes Cloud scan and a Sensor scan trial with a 100-certificate limit.

Cloud scan

Cloud scan uses a cloud-based sensor, so there is nothing to install or manage. You can start scanning immediately to find all your public facing SSL/TLS certificates regardless of issuing Certificate Authority (CA). Cloud-scan runs once every 24 hours.

• To learn more, see Discovery Cloud-scan service.
• To run your first cloud scan, in the left main menu, go to Discovery > Manage Discovery. On the Manage scans page, click Single cloud scan.

Sensor scan

Sensor scan is our most robust version of Discovery. It uses sensors to scan your network to quickly find all your internal and public facing SSL/TLS certificates regardless of the issuing Certificate Authority (CA). Discovery also identifies problems in certificate configurations and implementations along with certificate-related vulnerabilities or problems in your endpoint configurations.

Scans are centrally configured and managed from inside your CertCentral account. Scan results are displayed in an intuitive and interactive dashboard inside CertCentral. Configure scans to run once or multiple times on a set schedule.

• To learn how to install a sensor and start scanning your SSL/TLS certificate landscape, see Discovery user guide.
• To continue to use Sensor scan after the trial period is over, please contact your account manager or our Support team.

Discovery audit logs

Discovery has added a new feature—Discovery Audit Logs—allowing you to track Discovery-related activities in your CertCentral account. These audit logs provide insight into user activity enabling you to see areas where training may be required, reconstruct events to troubleshoot problems, detect misuse, and discover problem areas.

To make it easier to sort through the information in the Discover audit logs, we've include several filters:

• Date range
• Division
• User
• IP Address
• Actions
  (e.g., void sensor, delete scan, etc.)

To access the Discovery Audit Log, in your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Account > Audit Logs. On the Audit Logs page, click Discovery Audit Logs.

Discovery language support

As we work to globalize our product offerings and make our websites, platforms, and documentation more accessible, we are happy to announce that we've added language support to Discovery in CertCentral.

Now, when configuring your language preference in CertCentral, Discovery is included in the configuration.

To configure your language preference

In your account, in the top right corner, in the "your name" drop-down list, select My Profile. On the Profile Settings page, in the Language dropdown, select a language and click Save Changes.

See CertCentral language preferences.
