How do I move CWS discovery to CertCentral?

Overview for moving your sensors and scans to CertCentral

Managing discovery configuration in CertCentral is different from Complete Website Security, but we’ll make sure your important information—the IPs and networks you want to monitor—are transferred to CertCentral so you don’t have to do the work.

Moving your sensor and scan settings does not move certificate data discovered in previous CWS scans. However, CertCentral will be ready to scan your network again immediately following the sensor and scan transfer!

Transfer your CWS sensor and scan settings to CertCentral

  1. If you haven’t already, contact your account manager to set up your new CertCentral account.

  2. Explore the CertCentral console, including Discovery.
