What practical problems does a CLM solve?

A CLM reduces the manual effort involved in certificate management and helps minimize risks caused by expired, unknown, or incorrectly managed certificates. At the same time, it improves transparency into certificate inventories and responsibilities. With MTG CLM, companies can centrally manage large and heterogeneous certificate environments and automate many recurring processes.

What is meant by the lifecycle of a certificate?

The lifecycle of a certificate includes all phases from request and issuance through active use and monitoring to renewal, revocation, or decommissioning. MTG CLM makes it possible to centrally control these steps and document them in a traceable manner.

What tasks does a CLM perform?

A CLM supports the entire lifecycle of digital certificates. This includes certificate requests, issuance through connected Certification Authorities, deployment, monitoring, renewal, and revocation. MTG CLM enhances these functions with Certificate Policies, monitoring and reporting, notifications, role and rights management, and various automation and integration interfaces.

Why is Certificate Lifecycle Management important?

Without a centralized CLM, expired or insufficiently renewed certificates can lead to outages and security risks. MTG CLM provides transparency into existing certificates, their status, validity periods, and locations of use, and helps companies automate certificate processes and identify risks […]
