Certificate Discovery Without Unrestricted Network Scanning

Build a useful certificate inventory without turning discovery into an unrestricted sweep of infrastructure you do not own.

The operational problem

Make the certificate workflow match the estate you actually run.

Discovery only helps when the results can be trusted and assigned. SSLNexus starts from verified parent-domain ownership, combines domain-oriented discovery with managed certificate data, and lets operators decide what should become lifecycle-managed.

Verify

Establish domain ownership before discovery.

Discover

Surface certificates and subdomains associated with the verified scope.

Adopt

Choose which certificates should become managed assets.

Workflow

From visibility to a repeatable operating process.

01Verify control of the parent domain
02Run controlled domain discovery
03Review discovered names and certificates
04Classify ownership and relevance
05Adopt selected assets into the managed estate
06Attach deployment and renewal policy when ready
Why SSLNexus

Customer-controlled certificate operations.

SSLNexus is installed into customer infrastructure and is designed to keep certificate operations, target access and private-key custody under customer control. The platform coordinates lifecycle work without requiring the estate to be rebuilt around a vendor-hosted key store.

  • Provider-neutral certificate lifecycle management.
  • Private keys remain inside customer-controlled infrastructure.
  • Delegated operational roles instead of one all-powerful administrator model.
  • Audit history, reports and verification stay attached to the certificate lifecycle.
Questions

Common questions

Does discovery automatically take control of certificates?

No. Discovery is visibility. Operators decide what should be adopted into managed lifecycle automation.

Does SSLNexus scan every reachable network address?

The product is designed around verified ownership and managed targets rather than treating an unrestricted network sweep as the default discovery model.

Can discovered certificates remain monitoring-only?

Yes. Discovery and lifecycle adoption are separate decisions.
