Discovery services
Discovery Services in Next-Gen Trust Security are essential tools for locating and managing digital certificates within your organization’s network and on public-facing servers. These services ensure that all certificates are accounted for, thereby reducing the risk of outages and security vulnerabilities.
Types of discovery services
Because server certificates are used both within private networks and out on the Internet, discovering and managing them requires a secure and flexible approach called discovery services.
Which discovery service you choose depends on your needs.
| Discovery Service | Use to... | Discovery Type |
|---|---|---|
| Enhanced Discovery | Discover certificates inside of your company's network, similar to Basic Discovery, but uses Venafi VSatellite to run discoveries according to a fixed schedule (optional) and performs validation for you (after they are added to the certificates inventory). You can also run Enhanced Discovery with Run Now. See Discover private (internal) certificates. | Internal |
| Internet Discovery | Discover and protect certificates external to your company's private network. This service is created for you by default. But of course you can edit its name, add or remove targets, and change its discovery schedule. See Discover public (external) certificates. | External |
Following certificate discovery, Next-Gen Trust Security adds all discovered certificates to the certificates inventory (Insights > Certificates). After the certificates are in the inventory, Next-Gen Trust Security can run daily validations on them and highlight
potential issues that could cause outages.
