The growing complexity of certificate management

Managing digital certificates is more challenging than ever.
Shorter lifespans, rapid growth, new regulations, and emerging cryptography standards are reshaping the landscape.
To stay secure and resilient, organizations must keep certificates visible, compliant, and ready for what’s next.

HOW RED SIFT CERTIFICATES HELPS
Take control of your public and private PKI

Red Sift Certificates provides real-time discovery of new certificates and seamless monitoring for expiration and revocation.

Icon
Prevent downtime by eliminating blind spots in your inventory

Get full visibility across your certificates by combining real-time monitoring of the Certificate Transparency ecosystem with discovery across hostnames, services, and private infrastructure.

icon
Continuously secure your digital infrastructure

Monitor deployments to catch misconfigurations, expired or undeployed certificates, and gaps left by incomplete automation before they lead to outages.

icon
Reduce manual work when ecosystem events occur

Correlate certificate data with DNS, CT logs, and more to quickly surface risks during industry-wide incidents like the Entrust Distrust event.

Stop infrastructure attacks before they escalate

Get alerted to rogue certificate activity like unauthorized issuances within minutes, and take action before it leads to compromise.

Why security teams choose Red Sift Certificates

See every certificate in use—including those beyond your control

Discover certificates deployed across your estate, even those issued by third parties or embedded via external services. Correlate data from CT logs, IPs, hostnames, and DNS records to maintain a real-time inventory that reflects what’s truly in use.

Discover private certificates trusted inside your environment

Safely uncover certificates issued by private or internal CAs and surface hidden dependencies across internal applications and services that external discovery can’t see.

Gain visibility across all Certificate Authorities (CAs)

Many CLMs track certificates from a single issuing CA. Red Sift consolidates certificates from all CAs, including those issued by other teams, for a complete view of your certificate footprint.

Host Details in Red Sift Certificates

Understand your PKI posture with detailed configuration insights

View detailed configuration data like key strength, algorithm type, endpoint status, and deployment location so you can spot weak deployments, maintain crypto hygiene, and prepare for post-quantum standards.

Spot misconfigurations and rogue certificates before they become threats

Continuously monitor deployed, unused, and newly issued certificates to surface misconfigurations, expired certificates, and suspicious issuances early before they lead to outages or breaches.

Private PKI Monitoring now available

Private PKI Monitoring expands certificate visibility beyond the public internet and into private networks and internal environments. This release helps teams close long-standing visibility gaps in private PKI and manage certificates more consistently across modern, hybrid infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What problem does certificate monitoring solve?

It helps prevent outages and risk by tracking certificate inventory, expiry, and unexpected changes across your estate.

What’s the difference between certificate monitoring and certificate lifecycle management (CLM)?

Monitoring focuses on visibility and alerting (what exists, what’s expiring, what changed). CLM focuses on issuance/renewal orchestration and automation workflows.

What’s the fastest way to find certificates you didn’t know you had?

Use automated discovery (domain + network + CT log visibility) to build an inventory, then assign ownership for remediation and renewal.

What should teams prioritize first: discovery or automation?

Discovery first—automation is powerful, but you can’t automate what you haven’t inventoried and assigned owners to.
