Certificates synced from Strata Cloud Manager are unmanaged by default. Unmanaged certificates appear in your Strata Cloud Manager configuration but aren't tracked in the Next-Gen Trust Security certificate inventory. Unmanaged certificates don't count against your license. You must explicitly manage certificates to enable Next-Gen Trust Security lifecycle capabilities, including renewal, expiration monitoring, and cryptographic policy enforcement. Managing Strata Cloud Manager certificates brings them under the same centralized visibility, policy enforcement, and lifecycle management as other critical certificates in your organization—ensuring consistent security standards, renewal processes, and monitoring across your entire certificate infrastructure. Once managed, certificates become visible in the Next-Gen Trust Security certificate inventory where you can track their lifecycle status and access advanced management features.
