With the significant increase in the number of malware and ransomware cases worldwide, ensuring the security of your company’s privileged credentials has become a fundamental practice to protect it against inside threats, data leaks, and immeasurable financial losses.

Your solution must have several functionalities that secure privileged credentials aligned to a good information security strategy.

Digital Certificate Management

You must manage your company’s digital certificates to ensure the security of privileged credentials.

A solution that has good digital certificate management automatically notifies those responsible for the information security of the company about appropriate measures that should be taken when a certificate expires or is about to expire.
