Inventorying PKI Certificates Easier Than Ever with Comodo Discovery Scanning

September 16, 2009; 01:43 AM

Jersey City, NJ, September 15, 2009 - Enterprises have hundreds, or even thousands, of SSL certificates installed across their global networks. Such large and distributed deployments beleaguer managers with the immense task of administering this important layer of security.

Comodo Certificate Manager has been enhanced with Comodo Discovery Agent, to enable internal networks and certificates to be inventoried, recording all accessible SSL/TLS certificates, regardless of issuing CA.

When IT professionals are given the charge of reducing the cost of their SSL certificate inventory, they may have no idea how to find all of the certificates their organization has deployed. The lack of reliable information can lead to excessive costs, security lapses and inopportune certificate expirations. Comodo Certificate Manager systematically records the details of all corporate certificates, allowing network security professionals to see at a glance how they can optimize their digital certificate use, and prevent unmanaged certificates from expiring.

Comodo helps IT staffs to effectively administer large distributed certificate deployments. Certificate Discovery scans IP networks using Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) to collect and register any type or brand of SSL certificate. With Comodo Certificate Manager, IT professionals can instantly create a comprehensive view of their digital certificate deployments, and can have notifications sent to them in advance of any certificate expiration. Comodo significantly reduces the challenge of PKI certificate management, making certificate management easy, and saving time and money.
