Venafi Encryption Director
Features & Benefits
Venafi helps organizations solve the challenges that come from large encryption deployments across diverse operating environments and CAs. Venafi pioneered the use of IT automation methodologies to manage X.509 certificates and asymmetric keys years ago, and is the leader in SSL certificate management.
In fact, Gartner recently named Venafi a Cool Vendor in Data and Infrastructure Protection. Venafi has the only encryption management platform that manages encryption agnostically across the majority of operating environments and encryption types, based on organization-defined policies.
Only Venafi Encryption Director enables you to:
- + Enforce encryption policies throughout the infrastructure
- + Protect data from loss or theft through key management controls
- + Notify the right people before a breach or downtime occurs
- + Reduce costs through volume pricing or cheaper certificates
- + Discover deployed encryption and unprotected systems
- + Automatically deploy and manage keys and certificates
- + Reduce manual tasks in order to reallocate resources
Compliance and Audit
Configuration elements can be “locked,” “suggested” or left “open.” Enforce approved CAs, key strengths, and validity periods, while admins and auditors are notified when policies are modified or violated.
Data Security
Protect mission-critical and regulated data from loss, misuse and theft by properly securing and managing encryption assets through automated enterprise key management and SSL certificate management solutions.
Incident Prevention & Reporting
Notify the right people at the right time, with escalations based on configurable policies and rules via email or SNMP. Customizable message notifications per specific organizational needs.
Catastrophic Incident Recovery
Discover expired or soon-to-expire SSL certificates and private keys on failover and disaster recovery sites. Quickly migrate thousands of certificates or CAs and provision new certificates rapidly with one-click replacement functionality.
Automated Lifecycle Managment
Automatically deploy encryption keys and SSL certificates and manage the full lifecycle of these assets—from request, to renewal and revocation. Then configure applications for use according to administrator-defined policies.
Reduced Workload
Turn five-hour SSL certificate management projects into a five-minute tasks in order to reallocate valuable, full-time employees to more strategic, priority initiatives—as well as decrease errors caused by manual work.
CA Strategic Sourcing
Reduce costs through SSL certificate volume pricing or by replacing high-cost with lower-cost certificates to avoid vendor lock-in. Execute one-click CA migrations—either immediately or upon certificate expiration.
