Automating the SSL certificate lifecycle in its card payment platform

The organization needed a reliable mechanism to proactively monitor and manage its SSL certificates, anticipating expirations and eliminating dependence on manual controls.

To respond to this challenge, Payway implemented Discovery & Automation from CertiSur. Discovery & Automation de CertiSur.
