As companies increase their use of digital certificates to establish trust, distributed IT environments and the need to manage those certificates on multiple platforms can create blind spots, inviting risks such as unexpected outages and compliance breaches.

Most enterprise cloud applications are integrated with Microsoft Azure Key Vault to store and manage, passwords, secrets and certificates. Entrust Connect, provides a native Azure portal web application that enables enterprises to natively manage the complete certificate lifecycle of a broad range of public TLS/SSL certificates. It simplifies the day-to-day lifecycle activity surrounding certificate management, all from a single dashboard.

Entrust Connect, enables your security team to store and manage public TLS/SSL certificates in Azure Key Vault and benefit from:

• Scalable certificate issuance
• Complete certificate life cycle management
• Future-proof certificate management
• Issuance of SSL certificates
• Enhanced visibility and reporting

SCALABLE CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE:

Entrust Connect enables organizations with large numbers of Entrust TLS/SSL certificates to monitor the certificate life cycle for their in-use certificates. New certificates can be requested, issued & downloaded for immediate deployment without leaving the Azure Key Vault environment.

AVOID UNEXPECTED OUTAGES:

Certificate users with access to Microsoft Azure can view and manage the life cycle of their issued certificates. Certificate users can renew and seamlessly renew their certificates before certificate expiry.

HOW IT WORKS:

Entrust Connect requests the private public key pair in the Microsoft Azure Key Vault and passes it to Entrust Certificate Services via the REST API to request and issue a public SSL certificate. Issued SSL certificate is stored in the Key Vault. Apps within Microsoft Azure can use the certificate for encryption and authentication.
