Overview of Systems Management for Encryption
Regular maintenance is required in order for encryption to function properly, however many IT departments still rely on fallible tools, such as spreadsheets and calendar appointments to track certificate expirations. The Venafi platform performs four primary functions: Discovery, Monitoring, Enrollment and Provisioning. |

Enterprise-Wide Encryption Discovery
The first step in managing encryption is to determine where encryption technologies, such as certificates, exist within the infrastructure. All editions of Venafi Encryption Director include the Discovery engine. |

Proactive Incident Prevention and Reporting
Most IT administrators live in an information rich and multidimensional world where theyre expected to quickly respond to emails and trouble ticket queues, while simultaneously making progress on individual and group projects. In this fast-paced role, if a single calendar appointment is ignored, overlooked, or inadvertently sent to the wrong administrator, an SSL certificate could expire unexpectedly, causing a critical business system to fail. Venafi Encryption Director ensures the right people get the right alerts at the right time. |

CA Spend Management and Strategic Sourcing
Certificate procurement in most organizations is decentralized and piece-meal, where no single organization or group knows what the organization is purchasing. In addition, changing from one CA vendor to another generally requires a costly migration process. Venafi enables one-click migration from one certificate authority to another either immediately, or upon certificate expiration. |

Policy & Regulatory Compliance
Complying with government, industry and organizational policy requirements is among the most time-consuming projects many IT departments perform. Venafi Encryption Director makes this easier. |
