Automated lifecycle management of digital certificates in its banking infrastructure

As one of Argentina's leading private banks, Banco Macro manages a large-scale technological infrastructure with multiple environments and systems. The institution needed centralized visibility over the inventory of digital certificates distributed across its network, eliminating the risk of unexpected expirations that could compromise the availability of its digital services and the security of its operations.

Manual certificate tracking was inefficient and error-prone, especially given an increasing volume and the reduction of validity periods across the industry.

Banco Macro implemented Discovery & Automation from CertiSur. Discovery & Automation de CertiSur.

The platform performs a complete scan of all the organization's environments, identifying and centralizing the certificate inventory in a single panel. From there, the security team gains real-time visibility into the status, expiration, and location of each certificate.

Automation enables scheduling certificate renewal and provisioning without manual intervention, eliminating the risks associated with unexpected expirations and reducing the operational burden on the team.

The implementation of Discovery & Automation allowed Banco Macro to:

• Centralized and real-time inventory of all digital certificates.
• Elimination of unexpected expirations through alerts and automated renewal.
• Significant reduction of the operational burden in certificate management.
• Greater resilience and continuity of digital services.
• Early preparation for the reduction of TLS certificate validity to 47 days.

Banco Macro is one of Argentina's leading private banks, with a presence throughout the country and a wide range of financial services for individuals, businesses, and the public sector. Its commitment to innovation and digital security positions it as a benchmark in the technological transformation of the Argentine banking sector.
