Complex IT environments have been a key driver in the rising number of digital certificates used in enterprises today. Web servers, devices, network hardware and even users need securing, and the need to secure IT infrastructure quickly and efficiently is becoming a task many enterprises face.
As a Certificate Authority (CA), we know the importance of managing your digital certificates and with this the pain points associated with managing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Not only do IT administrators have to contend with managing multiple users and endpoints, they also need to ensure they have visibility and control of their ever growing certificate portfolio. It is a complex environment and the key to certificate management are tools and integrations. This is where GlobalSign’s PKI as a Service (PKIaaS) Connector for ServiceNow comes in to play.
