Picture this: it’s a Monday morning, and everything seems fine—until your customers start seeing security warnings when they visit your website. The culprit? An expired SSL certificate that slipped through the cracks. Suddenly, your IT team is scrambling, services are disrupted, and trust takes a hit.
Or imagine a hospital juggling hundreds of certificates across different applications. One mistake in tracking expirations could mean compliance violations or, worse, patient data at risk.
These situations aren’t rare—they’re happening every day. Certificates are the invisible backbone of digital trust, yet managing them often feels messy, complex, and overwhelming. That’s where Entrust Certificate Lifecycle Management steps in: a smarter way to keep everything secure, seamless, and under control.

What Entrust Certificate Lifecycle Management Offers
So, what exactly makes Entrust’s solution stand out? Let’s break it down in plain English:
- Find every certificate, everywhere. Automated discovery scans your networks and CA databases, so you never lose track of what’s out there. No more “unknown” certificates hiding until they expire.
- Control it all from one place. Instead of juggling multiple dashboards, you get a single pane of glass to issue, renew, and revoke certificates across Entrust, Microsoft AD CS, and more.
- Automate the grunt work. Agentless deployment and rotation mean certificates are handled in the background. Expirations? Renewals? They just happen.
- Stay audit-ready. Customized reports and automated alerts keep compliance teams happy and prevent surprises during audits.
- Scale without stress. Whether you’re on-prem, hybrid, or fully cloud, the container-based, integration-ready architecture grows with you.
It’s not just about managing certificates—it’s about making the process invisible, so you can focus on running your business, not babysitting expiration dates.
