Certificate hygiene

0%
About 25% of certificates are expired at any given time
25%

Expired or self-signed certificates create security gaps, enabling unauthorized access, data exposure, and service disruption.

Real-world example

Expired certificate causes global outage

A global service disruption occurred when an expired certificate on a ground station caused widespread connectivity issues.1

State of certificate hygiene:

Causes outages and downtime

Certificate failures can break connectivity and disrupt critical systems and operations.

Exposes sensitive data

Weak cryptography and self-signed certificates weaken encryption, leaving communications vulnerable to interception.

Firmware

Enables unauthorized access

Expired and self-signed certificates allow attackers to gain access and move laterally across networks.

The Phosphorus solution

Move beyond manual certificate management

01

Identify certificate risk

Continuously discover certificates across all xIoT devices, including expired and self-signed certificates. Gain full visibility into certificate health and device identity across your environment.

Extend certificate management to xIoT

02

Extend Certificate Management to xIoT

Extend CyberArk Machine Identity (formerly Venafi) and Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services to IoT and OT devices. Ensure consistent, trusted authentication across your environment with centralized certificate control.

03

Automate certificate lifecycle

Automate certificate generation, installation, and renewal at scale using policy-driven workflows. Reduce manual effort while strengthening security and maintaining continuous device trust.

Certificate lifecycle automation step

Not all certificate management is equal

From manual certificate handling to automated xIoT identity management

Traditional certificate tools
Phosphorus xIoT certificate management
Limited visibility Certificates are unmanaged or unknown across devices
Full certificate visibility Discover and monitor all device certificates across xIoT
Manual provisioning Certificates are issued and deployed manually
Automated lifecycle management Assess, request, and install certificates automatically
Frequent expirations Expired certificates cause outages and security gaps
Continuous validity Prevent expiration with automated renewal and enforcement
Fragmented identity No unified identity across devices
Trusted device identity Enforce consistent authentication across all devices
No xIoT support Traditional PKI tools don’t extend to devices
xIoT-native integration Extend enterprise CA (AD, Venafi, etc.) to xIoT
Manual compliance Difficult to audit and enforce policies
Policy-driven governance Centralized certificate policy and compliance alignment
