Overview: certificate issuance
Next-Gen Trust Security streamlines certificate issuance and renewal through a centralized, policy-driven workflow designed for network security administrators.
By using a guided UI and predefined policies, Next-Gen Trust Security helps ensure certificates are issued consistently, securely, and in compliance with organizational standards.
Features and benefits
- Centralized certificate issuance: Manage certificate requests and renewals from a single interface, improving visibility and control.
- Support for multiple certificate authorities: Issue certificates from public and private CAs based on policy and use case.
- Policy-driven issuance: Enforce naming, validity, and usage requirements during certificate issuance.
- Scalable certificate management: Handle growing certificate volumes without manual intervention.
Audience and use cases
This capability is intended for network security administrators responsible for managing certificates across applications and infrastructure. It supports organizations that need consistent, policy-compliant certificate issuance at scale.
Requirements and compatibility
The following components must already be configured:
- Certificate authorities: Certificate Authorities must be configured and available in Next-Gen Trust Security.
- Certificate issuing templates: Issuing templates define how certificates are requested and issued.
- Certificate inventory: Issued certificates are tracked and managed through the certificate inventory.
Next steps
To begin issuing certificates, configure your Certificate Authorities and issuing templates, then submit certificate requests using the Next-Gen Trust Security interface.
