Deploy, Manage, and Renew WebSphere MQ Encryption

Situation Overview

Many organizations are struggling to effectively implement security for WMQ due to the operational risk and administrative overhead typically associated with deploying and managing encryption within WMQ. The challenge is exacerbated by the sheer size of many WMQ environments - literally requiring hundreds to even thousands of devices to be reconfigured, each with its own digital certificate. While failure to implement encryption could cause some organizations to fail audits, most are unable to undertake the project due to the number of IT staff that would be required to implement or maintain such an approach. To solve this dilemma, many organizations are turning to the automation capabilities Venafi provides with its Systems Management for Encryption platform.

This site is intended to serve as as a resource center to help organizations understand how Venafi Systems Management for Encryption can help properly secure WMQ environments in a scalable, cost-effective manner by automating the manual tasks associated with deploying, managing, monitoring, and renewing certificate-based encryption.
