Assessor Overview
With Venafi Assessor, you can quickly and easily identify your digital certificate population and qualify your security, operational, compliance and certificate authority compromise risks.
With Venafi Assessor, you can quickly and easily identify your digital certificate population and qualify your security, operational, compliance and certificate authority compromise risks.
The compromise of a certificate authority (CA) can enable an attacker, or Hacker, to generate fraudulent digital certificates, which the Hacker can use in a variety of attacks against high‐value business assets. Ultimately, enterprises might need to replace some or all certificates issued by the CA and even explicitly stop trusting the CA in order to protect themselves. To avoid significant security and operational risks, enterprises must have a plan in place for responding to a CA compromise.
Director performs four key processes: continuous encryption discovery, certificate and key monitoring with built-in alerts, automated Certificate Authority (CA) interactions, and application configuration. Learn about the technical specs of the Director platform, including detailed information about supported platforms and CAs.
This document is designed to help organizations quantify and qualify the business value that can be attained from implementing a truly enterprise approach to managing encryption keys and digital certificates, and is written from the perspective of Information Security and IT Operations stakeholders.
With the proliferation of sensitive information, organizations must protect sensitive data wherever it moves. Encryption is a critical element, but when keys and certificates are not properly managed, downtime, non-compliance and vulnerabilities may occur. Read this white paper to learn how to protect your organization.
Director Symmetric Key Manager enables organizations to establish an enterprise inventory of symmetric keys, independent of the applications where they are deployed, then organize and track those keys. It can serve as the equivalent of a card catalog for all symmetric keys, tracking a broad set of information about each key.
Director SSH Key Manager enables organizations to quickly develop an inventory of their SSH environment and take effective action to remedy risks and challenges. It helps ensure critical system availability through key dependency mapping.
Director Certificate Manager enables organizations to rapidly develop an accurate certificate inventory and identify security and operational risks. It provides out-of-the-box automated management capabilities that eliminate unquantified and unmanaged risk.
This document provides an introduction to EKCM best practices that Venafi has developed while working for nearly a decade with Global 2000 organizations. The best practices in this document apply directly to the management of certificates and their associated private keys.
Venafi is the inventor of and market leader in Enterprise Key and Certificate Management (EKCM) solutions. Venafi delivered the first enterprise-class solution to automate the provisioning, discovery, monitoring, validation and management of digital certificates and encryption keys.
