Certificate Expiry Management Agent
Discovers and tracks every SSL/TLS certificate across the environment, automating renewal workflows and alerting well ahead of expiration to prevent outages.
Expired SSL/TLS certificates remain one of the most common self-inflicted causes of outages, taking down websites, APIs, and internal services when a certificate that nobody was tracking quietly expires
Certificates are often provisioned by different teams across dozens of services, load balancers, and internal tools with no central inventory, meaning renewal responsibility falls through the cracks between teams who each assume someone else owns it
Manual certificate renewal processes require someone to remember the expiration date, generate a new certificate, and correctly deploy it to every location the old one was installed, a multi-step process prone to human error under time pressure
This agent continuously discovers every certificate in use across the environment, maintains a central inventory with ownership and expiration tracking, and automates renewal and deployment well ahead of expiration deadlines
The agent scans network endpoints, load balancers, and cloud certificate stores to discover every SSL/TLS certificate in active use, building a central inventory with expiration date, issuing authority, and deployment location for each. It tracks expiration proximity against escalating alert thresholds and, where integrated with a supported certificate authority and deployment target, automatically initiates renewal and redeploys the new certificate to all known installation points. Certificates without automated renewal coverage are flagged with clear ownership assignment and manual renewal instructions well ahead of their deadline.
Discover and Inventory Certificates
- Scan network endpoints and load balancers for active certificates
- Query cloud provider and internal certificate management stores
- Capture expiration date, issuing authority, and deployment location for each
- Assign or infer ownership based on service and team mapping
Track Expiration Risk
- Monitor expiration proximity against escalating alert thresholds
- Prioritize certificates protecting customer-facing or critical services
- Identify certificates with no clear owner assigned
- Flag certificates using deprecated or weak cryptographic standards
Automate Renewal and Deployment
- Initiate automated renewal through integrated certificate authorities
- Redeploy renewed certificates to all known installation points
- Verify successful deployment through endpoint re-scan
- Flag renewal failures for immediate manual follow-up
Escalate Manual Renewals
- Identify certificates requiring manual renewal processes
- Assign clear ownership and send renewal instructions with lead time
- Escalate unresolved renewals as expiration approaches
- Report on certificate inventory health and renewal compliance
