Intro & Overview
Have You Seen Director Yet? Learn How to Automate and Scale Key and Certificate Management in the Enterprise.
Venafi™ Encryption Director™ is an enterprise-wide encryption management system that centralizes and automates the management of encryption assets (keys and certificates) throughout the IT infrastructure, across diverse encryption systems, operating environments and applications. Director automates the certificate management and enterprise key management processes necessary to ensure system availability, proper data protection and regulatory compliance, including discovery, monitoring, alerts, lifecycle management and automated application configuration.
Director performs four key processes: continuous encryption discovery, SSL certificate and key monitoring with built-in alerts, automated Certificate Authority (CA) interactions, and automated installation into the certificate-consuming application. These help organizations improve operational efficiency, data security and compliance management.
The Director product line consists of three product editions: the Monitoring Edition, the Enrollment Edition and the Provisioning Edition.
Three Editions
The Director product line consists of three products: the Monitoring Edition, the Enrollment Edition and the Provisioning Edition, and each includes licenses for the Discovery Engine. Note that the product-line feature sets are additive.
Key Benefits of Venafi Encryption Director
Compliance and Audit
Configuration elements can be “locked,” “suggested” or left “open.” Enforce approved CAs, key strengths, and validity periods, while admins and auditors are notified when policies are modified or violated.
Data Security
Protect mission-critical and regulated data from loss, misuse and theft by properly securing and managing encryption assets through automated enterprise key management and SSL certificate management solutions.
Incident Prevention & Reporting
Notify the right people at the right time, with escalations based on configurable policies and rules via email or SNMP. Customizable message notifications per specific organizational needs.
Catastrophic Incident Recovery
Discover expired or soon-to-expire SSL certificates and private keys on failover and disaster recovery sites. Quickly migrate thousands of certificates or CAs and provision new certificates rapidly with one-click replacement functionality.
Automated Lifecycle Managment
Automatically deploy encryption keys and SSL certificates and manage the full lifecycle of these assets—from request, to renewal and revocation. Then configure applications for use according to administrator-defined policies.
Reduced Workload
Turn five-hour SSL certificate management projects into a five-minute tasks in order to reallocate valuable, full-time employees to more strategic, priority initiatives—as well as decrease errors caused by manual work.
CA Strategic Sourcing
Reduce costs through SSL certificate volume pricing or by replacing high-cost with lower-cost certificates to avoid vendor lock-in. Execute one-click CA migrations—either immediately or upon certificate expiration.
