Security is a critical concern for today's enterprises and their customers, especially with many employees pivoting to remote work over the past couple of years. To protect their most valuable and sensitive data, IT teams have been tasked with authenticating the users and devices accessing resources within their organization while ensuring data flows securely through their networks. This requires an incredible amount of time and expertise to manage.
To overcome challenges these challenges, Auto Enrollment Gateway, our robust certificate automation tool, facilitates a smooth and secure migration from on-premises to the cloud. Our solution ensures continuous uptime, eliminates the interruption of mission-critical operations due to invalid certificates, and provides employees with remote, secure access to company networks.
Our solution is a scalable managed PKI solution for enterprise environments utilizing various platforms and devices. The newest iteration of this valuable tool acts as a direct gateway between Atlas, GlobalSign's next-generation cloud Certificate Authority, and your Active Directory - effectively extending its reach to every endpoint on your network.
The intuitive user interface and provisioning capabilities make it easy to centralize, automate, and control all certificate activity across an organization. The Auto Enrollment Gateway can enroll and issue certificates for all Active Directory objects, including users, servers, desktops, laptops, and Domain Controllers.

HOW AUTO ENROLLMENT GATEWAY WORKS
Our solution is integrated with Active Directory and supports SCEP and ACMEv2 protocols while providing quick, seamless certificate registration and provisioning, as well as key archival and recovery - without sacrificing control. Certificates can be issued from a dedicated private issuing CA hosted by GlobalSign and/or from GlobalSign’s public CA (for security applications that require public trust), all based on GlobalSign’s universally available and secure world-class infrastructure.
