Certificate Lifecycle Management

MTG Certificate Lifecycle Manager

Certificate Lifecycle Management for more transparency, automation and controlled access for the simple and reliable management of one or more PKIs. MTG Certificate Lifecycle Manager (MTG CLM) was specifically designed for enterprises to implement certificate management best practices for various use cases.

Use Cases

MTG Certificate Lifecycle Manager optimizes all certificate-related processes for the entire certificate lifecycle. Issue, renewal and revocation processes can all be centrally automated, managed and controlled for various use-cases.  

Automation in Certificate Lifecycle Management

Automation of Certificate Lifecycle Management is essential when dealing with large and complex, multivendor certificate environments for use cases such as IoT, server, clients and mobile.

Certificate Discovery - Full Transparency!

The Certificate Discovery function enables a systematic scanning for unknown certificates. Thanks to network-based sensors and agents all company public and private TLS/SSL certificates are identified and added to the certificate inventory. Dangerous outages due to expired certificates or expensive manual handling is consequently avoided.

Complete and Cost-effective Employee Onboarding!

All required certificates can be issued in a systematic and complete procedure. A structured setup of authorizations ensures workflows in line with compliance guidelines. 

Automated Digital Certificate Provisioning for Server!

Automated seamless provisioning of digital certificates prevents server downtime and resulting costs and damages. It ensures the availability of internal services, production or the accessibility of corporate websites.

Quick and easy provision of digital certificates for networked devices

Networked office hardware (e.g., printers) and other smart devices (e.g., cameras) are major potential entry points for hacker attacks. However, protecting them with certificates is a heterogeneous and complex process that is therefore often not carried out. Fast and easy provisioning is thus an important function of the MTG Key Lifecycle Manager.

The MTG CLM architecture is part of the overall MTG ERS ® system. This means that the system can be expanded with further important security components whenever required. This includes the :

The targeted entities (servers, clients, IoT devices...) can be optimally accessed and managed via standard or MTG-specific automation clients.

MTG CLM supports a wide range of internal and publicly trusted CAs: e.g., Microsoft CA, LetsEncrypt, Deutsche Telekom (etc.). Security manager are thus relieved of the exhausting task of accessing each CA individually in order to gain insight and control over each certificate.
