What changes should I look for in CertCentral Discovery?

When you start exploring CertCentral Discovery, look for these updates and improvements in the Discovery section of your CertCentral console.

When we migrate your CWS sensors or when you install a new sensor on your network, there's no additional sensor configuration required—no separate license file installation and no IP address management in the new sensor. Additionally, every time a new server is added to your network, you only need to update your scans—no sensor configuration needed to access new IP addresses.

The network and servers you want to scan are defined solely in the scan, not in the sensor. So you manage your scans—IP addresses and frequency—entirely in one place.

CertCentral Discovery results expose more details about the server hosting the discovered certificate, such as the server’s cipher suite and security headers.

Get an instant CSV file of discovered certificates or endpoints without having to run a report.

CertCentral Discovery does not send any notifications for sensor and scan activity—sign in to CertCentral to check on discovery results. In the future we will introduce on-demand alerts and notifications per sensor, scan, or certificate. You’ll be able to set up alerts without filling your inbox with unnecessary events.

You’ll be able to run scans on public servers without the extra overhead of installing a sensor in your environment.
