THE
SOLUTION
Centralised safe-keeping, management, control and auditing of corporate software certificate use STARTING POINT Administration and systems staff routinely use corporate software certificates in their dealings with public administration, especially Revenue and Customs and Social Security. They also use them to issue invoices and dispatch notes. Each corporate certificate is freely available to all authorised employees. There are no controls in place to firmly ensure that the certificates are used only for the purposes established for each user. Although this involves a small organisation,
the company recognises the lack of control mechanisms concerning the use of each certificate, its expiry and renewals. NEED Control of and limits on the use of corporate software certificates.
SOLUTION CHARACTERISTICS
CLIENT SATISFACTION
The vinCERT® certificate management system includes a server where certificates are securely controlled and an agent set up at each work station as a cryptographic service provider of additional certificates. The published certificates will be used through the cryptographic service provider in the central system.
The organisation no longer worries about lack of control over the use of certificates and their expiry, and in particular finds the certificate inventory to be useful.
The system allows the person responsible for security to establish certificate permissions by user and application, delegate and revoke use, stop certificates from being exported to another work station or outside the organisation division, and perform real-time auditing of the operations carried out.
