Enhance visibility and automate with AI to achieve 98% faster certificate inventory management*
Business challenge
In today’s hybrid cloud world, enterprises are struggling to keep track of the slew of certificates managed by different siloed teams and tools. The lack of a centralized view of certificate health increases the risk of application disruptions due to expired certificates. These expired, outdated or misconfigured certificates can cause unexpected outages, disrupt business continuity and expose your enterprise to cybersecurity risks like man-in-the-middle attacks, especially when certificate renewal processes are inconsistent and unstandardized.
Many teams lack a comprehensive view of all digital certificates in their organization and are manually tracking them.
The absence of the right tools creates a need to maintain thousands of application certificates manually to protect uptime and maintain certificate validity.
Expiring certificates can make applications more susceptible to unplanned outages or downtime.
The lack of coordination among different siloed teams can create inconsistencies in certificate management processes, resulting in certificates expiring or being misconfigured.
How IBM Concert meets the challenge
IBM Concert® streamlines how security and IT teams address certificate health. By automatically identifying and tracking the expiration of SSL/TLS certificates, Concert provides a centralized certificate management solution with clear inventory and expiry timeline of your certificates. Using automation rules, you can expedite mitigation by allowing Concert to automatically create tickets in your third-party ticketing system to renew or replace expiring certificates.
