Automated Certificate
Lifecycle Management

Segura® Certificate Manager is a Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution that helps organizations discover, monitor, issue, renew, and manage digital certificates across their infrastructure.
Digital certificates secure communication between websites, applications, APIs, and internal systems. As certificate inventories grow, manual tracking becomes difficult and increases the risk of outages caused by expired certificates.
Segura® Certificate Manager centralizes certificate visibility and automates lifecycle tasks such as discovery, expiration monitoring, issuance, and renewal. This allows security and infrastructure teams to maintain control of certificate inventories while reducing operational risk.

Modern infrastructure depends on thousands of digital certificates used by applications, APIs, services, and automated systems. Many organizations still track certificates manually, which makes it difficult to maintain visibility and prevent expiration incidents.
Certificate Lifecycle Management platforms help organizations:

• Discover certificates across infrastructure
• Monitor expiration timeline
• Automate certificate issuance and renewal
• Maintain centralized certificate inventories
• Support compliance and audit reporting

By centralizing certificate lifecycle operations, organizations reduce the risk of outages, improve governance, and simplify certificate management across hybrid environments.

When a TLS or SSL certificate expires, systems can no longer establish trusted encrypted connections. This often results in service disruptions, application errors, or failed integrations.
Expired certificates commonly affect:

• web applications and customer portals
• APIs and backend services
• load balancers and gateways
• internal enterprise systems

These outages can interrupt business operations and require urgent troubleshooting.

Certificate Lifecycle Management platforms monitor expiration timelines and automate renewal processes to prevent these incidents before they occur.

Segura® Certificate Manager manages digital certificates used to secure communication across applications, services, and infrastructure.
Common examples include:

• SSL/TLS certificates used by websites and APIs
• Certificates deployed across servers, domains, and directories
• Certificates used by internal enterprise applications
• Certificates used by automated systems and machine identities
• Regional or government-issued certificates, such as Brazil’s A1 digital certificates

By centralizing certificate visibility, organizations can maintain control over certificates used throughout their environments and reduce the risk of expiration-related outages.
This centralized approach helps security and infrastructure teams manage certificate inventories at enterprise scale.

Yes. Segura® Certificate Manager integrates with both public and private Certificate Authorities (CAs).

These integrations allow organizations to automate certificate issuance, renewal, and lifecycle management from a centralized platform. Security teams can manage certificates issued by multiple CA providers while maintaining consistent governance and visibility.

This approach simplifies certificate operations and reduces the complexity of managing certificates across distributed infrastructure.

Organizations can maintain centralized lifecycle management while continuing to use their preferred CA providers.

Automation is a core capability of Segura® Certificate Manager.
The platform automates critical lifecycle tasks such as:

• certificate discovery across infrastructure
• expiration monitoring and alerts
• certificate issuance through integrated CAs
• automated certificate renewal workflows
• publishing updated certificates to systems

Automation reduces manual certificate tracking and minimizes the risk of downtime caused by expired certificates.

By automating lifecycle operations, organizations can scale certificate management across large environments while maintaining consistent governance.

Segura® Certificate Manager can be deployed in on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments as part of the Segura® identity security platform.

The platform is installed within the organization’s infrastructure and connected to existing systems used for identity, security, and certificate management.

After deployment, administrators configure the components required to manage certificate lifecycles. This typically includes setting up certificate authorities, access policies, organizations, and publishing profiles within the platform.

Once configured, teams can begin discovering certificates across their infrastructure, monitoring expiration timelines, and automating lifecycle workflows such as issuance, renewal, and publishing.

No. Segura® Certificate Manager does not require agents to discover and monitor certificates across most environments.
Certificate discovery and lifecycle monitoring are typically performed through network-based discovery and integrations with infrastructure systems such as servers, directories, and certificate authorities.
This allows organizations to identify and track certificates across:

• servers and virtual machines
• domains and directories
• enterprise applications
• hybrid infrastructure environments

Because discovery does not rely on endpoint agents, organizations can deploy certificate lifecycle management more quickly and maintain centralized visibility across large environments.

Segura® Certificate Manager supports certificate lifecycle management across modern enterprise infrastructure.
Supported environments include:

• on-premises infrastructure
• cloud environments
• hybrid deployments
• enterprise applications and services

This flexibility allows organizations to maintain a unified certificate inventory across distributed systems.

Security teams can monitor certificate status, lifecycle activity, and expiration timelines across environments from a centralized platform.

This helps organizations maintain operational reliability even as infrastructure expands across multiple platforms.
