Digital Certificate Management (DCM)

An effective method of protecting services provided over the Internet is using SSL Server certificates over a PKI infrastructure. With the use of SSL certificates expanding daily, and IT departments having to manage hundreds and even thousands of SSL certificates, conducting such an operation without a management and monitoring tool is a mission impossible.

DCM is a cost-effective lifecycle management solution for SSL certificates. DCM streamlines the work of the system administrator and helps prevent business outages. The DCM installation kit contains two components: an ASP management tool and a service engine.

The main functions of DCM are to streamline the administrative work of the IT organization, to prevent downtime in business services, and to save IT operating costs. DCM is operational at several large clients in the areas of banking, insurance, industry, security, mobile communications, and health services.
