Discover certificates to enable lifecycle automation

CertCentral Discovery identifies certificates deployed across internal and public-facing systems. Discovery helps administrators locate unmanaged certificates and bring them under automated lifecycle management.

Discovery uses sensors to scan configured network locations and identify certificates regardless of the issuing certificate authority. Scan results provide visibility into certificate inventory and deployment environments.

Notice

The same sensor and agent software used for automation is also used by the Discovery service. If sensors or agents are already installed for automation, they can be reused for Discovery without a separate installation.

Discovery helps administrators perform the following tasks:

  • Identify unmanaged certificates across environments

  • Detect certificates approaching expiration

  • Consolidate certificate management in CertCentral

  • Prepare certificates for lifecycle automation
