Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM)
The Complete Guide to Certificate Lifecycle Management and Its Key Processes

How does eMudhra CLM solution help avoid downtime caused by expired certificates?
eMudhra's Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution is designed to prevent downtime due to expired certificates by integrating several key features that automate and streamline certificate management. At the core of its functionality is an automated monitoring system which continuously tracks the expiration dates of all certificates in use. When certificates are nearing their expiry, the system generates and sends notifications to the responsible parties well in advance. This early warning system ensures that there is sufficient time to address the renewals, avoiding last-minute scrambles or oversight.
Additionally, eMudhra's CLM solution automates much of the renewal process, reducing the likelihood of human errors that might occur in manual certificate management. This automation includes initiating renewal requests, managing the approval workflows, and even deploying new certificates automatically where possible. By handling these tasks, the solution not only prevents downtime but also enhances security by ensuring that certificates are always current, thereby safeguarding against potential security breaches that could arise from using outdated certificates.
The benefits extend beyond just avoiding downtime. By maintaining an up-to-date certificate registry, eMudhra's CLM helps in maintaining trust in digital services, which is critical for customer and partner relations. It also minimizes the administrative burden on IT teams, allowing them to concentrate on other strategic areas of IT management. Overall, the solution provides a seamless, secure, and reliable certificate management experience, crucial for business continuity and operational efficiency.
