New Entrust cloud capabilities simplify SSL
certificate management, prevent costly mishaps
MINNEAPOLIS—(DEC. 1, 2015)—
Entrust Datacard today announced
that it has introduced several key
enhancements to its cloud-based
SSL certificate management platform,
Entrust Cloud. The new capabilities
will bring increased simplicity
and control to every step of
the digital certificate management
process, from acquisition, configuration
and installation of certificates
to server analysis, compliance monitoring
and security scans.
The features, which make it easy
for customers to purchase, configure,
install, track and renew SSL
certificates, make Entrust Cloud the
most streamlined platform in industry.
“We greatly expanded the capabilities
of Entrust Cloud to make
life easier for our customers and
to protect them from the financial
impact of expired, rogue or improperly
installed certificates,” said
Russell St. John, senior vice president
of global marketing for Entrust
Datacard. “Certificate-related problems
can cost businesses hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year due to
breaches and other types of fraud,
as well as lost revenue from potential
customers simply abandoning
sites they felt were not secure.”
Highlights of the
new capabilities include:
Entrust® Turbo Auto-Install Client.
A simplified method for installing
SSL certificates and configuring
servers on Microsoft Windows
platforms. Automatically installing
certificates directly to servers
speeds deployment and greatly
minimizes opportunities for configuration
errors.
Automated SSL Server Test. Periodic
testing of servers for configu-
26
ration compliance protects against
Heartbleed, Poodle and other similar
threats. A new automated testing
feature provides deep analysis
of web servers, identifies potential
vulnerabilities and checks compliance
levels. Email notifications and
screen prompts provide automatic
notification of potential problems.
Reporting Engine. Consolidated
data for both Entrust-issued and
discovered certificates is delivered
via standard or customized reports
— or displayed on a management
dashboard. New widgets allow users
to configure the dashboard for customized
views and drill-downs.
Automated Alerts. Customers can
choose to receive email alerts or
dashboard prompts when the management
platform automatically
detects potential problems with certificate
policy, best practices, compliance
or other key considerations.
Site Analysis and Reporting. Customers
can continually scan all of
the websites associated with their
SSL certificates and determine security
levels for each one. This new
feature also provides reports on
