Entrust Inc. has made enhancements to its Entrust Discovery digital certificate product by expanding search capabilities for digital certificates residing within Microsoft’s Cryptographic APIs and adding more than 25 basic or custom policy field alerts to ease certificate management.

Entrust Discovery is a certificate management tool that locates, inventories and manages digital certificates. It can work across diverse systems and aims to prevent outages, data breach and non-compliance. Users can establish and customize policies for certificate management and can run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly scans to check certificates for their status.

New policy field alerts include issuer DN, expiry status, subject DN, key, time valid, subject names and certificate signature method.

The product combines Entrust Discovery Agent, Entrust Discovery CAPI Scanner and Entrust Discovery Manager to use the policy field alerts to expose rogue or expiring certificates. The product can also help with issue resolution.

Entrust Discovery is available as a cloud-based managed service, or customers can deploy it themselves.
