Certificate management is essential for organizations that rely ondigital certificatesto secure communication, authenticate identities, and protect sensitive data. 

Key scenarios requiring certificate management include: 

• Scaling IT Infrastructure: When an organization deploys multiple certificates across servers, applications, and devices. 
• Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to standards likeGDPR,HIPAA, orPCI DSS, which mandate encryption for data protection. 
• Preventing Downtime: Avoiding disruptions caused by expired certificates. 
• Mitigating Security Risks: Ensuring compromised or outdated certificates are revoked promptly to preventcyberattacks. 
• Maintaining Trust: Ensuring digital assets like websites and applications are authenticated to avoid warnings from browsers or users. 

Industries likeIoT,enterprise IT, andbankingoften have large-scale deployments of certificates that require automated tools to manage their lifecycle efficiently. Without proper management, organizations risk security breaches, non-compliance, and loss of trust.
