Enrollment Edition®
Overview
When the time comes for a certificate to be renewed or for a key to be rotated, the Enrollment Edition of Venafi Encryption Director can manage the entire process from start to finish via the native workflow engine. Using its patented technology, the Enrollment Edition can concurrently manage the enrollment of encryption certificates by multiple certificate authorities (CAs), and interfaces directly with all leading CAs, including VeriSign, Microsoft and others.
The Enrollment Edition also provides full, end-to-end automation of encryption lifecycle management—from the CA all the way down to the target application or platform. In short, this edition of the Director produt provides key and certificate generationan. This is an important task in key lifecycle management that is not available in the Discovery Engine or Monitoring Edition.
The Enrollment Edition automatically replaces expired certificates and out-of-date keys on the target platforms, replacing formerly manual processes including: key and CSR generation, CSR submission to CAs, approvals at the CA, and issued certificate retrieval.
Administrators now find it simple to migrate certificates from one CA to another, and the system allows for multiple approval steps throughout the process. This centralized and automated lifecycle management not only helps reduce administrative costs, but also reduces the errors common in manual work (that often requires nearly thirty steps per certificate renewal) and ensures compliance with corporate policies and regulations.
The Enrollment Edition also includes all of the features and functionality of the Monitoring Edition as well as the enterprise Discovery Engine.
