Intro & Overview
Venafi™ Encryption Director™ is an enterprise-wide encryption management platform that centralizes and automates the management of encryption assets (keys, certificates and application configurations) throughout the IT infrastructure, across diverse encryption systems, operating environments and applications.
Director performs four key processes: continuous encryption discovery, 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 products: the Monitoring Edition, the Enrollment Edition and the Provisioning Edition.

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.
CA Strategic Sourcing
Reduce costs through 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.
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 certificates 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 keys and 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 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.
