Easy PKI Security - thanks to CERIAL!
CERIAL is an automation solution for requesting, renewing, and managing your PKI certificates, freeing you from tedious and manual administration.
Sounds Familiar?
Labor-Intensive Administration
To ensure the security of your IT infrastructure, valid PKI certificates are an important building block. However, the management and administration of your PKI certificates is becoming increasingly tedious:
The amount of changes for certificates is growing exponentially
Sufficient skilled labor resources are becoming rare
Regulatory demands are intensifying for both B2C and B2B operations.
Costly Downtime
Faulty or expired PKI certificates can have dramatic consequences for companies. When business applications suddenly stop functioning properly, this can lead to outages, unpredictable costs, and a decline in customer satisfaction.
The cause in almost all cases: manual certificate management and inadequate monitoring lead to significant errors in certificate management.
Don't suffer from the consequences of poor PKI management!

Automated PKI for IoT security
Enhanced Security Control
Automated management drastically reduces the risk of using expired certificates or weak cryptographic standards, protecting IoT devices from unauthorized access and cyber attacks. It ensures timely updates of security credentials across your entire IoT fleet.
Cost Savings
Eliminates manual certificate handling costs and prevents expensive outages caused by expired certificates. Automated systems reduce the need for dedicated IT staff to manage certificates and minimize downtime-related financial losses.
Error Prevention
Minimizes human errors in certificate management that could lead to security breaches or system failures. Automated systems ensure consistent application of certificate policies and reduce configuration mistakes.
Scalability Boost
Handles exponential growth in IoT deployments by automating certificate provisioning, renewal, and revocation across thousands of devices simultaneously. Removes the bottleneck of manual certificate management in large-scale IoT networks.
Real-time Monitoring
Provides continuous visibility into certificate status, expiration dates, and potential issues across all IoT devices. Enables proactive management and instant detection of certificate-related problems before they impact operations.
Compliance Assurance
Automatically maintains detailed audit trails and ensures adherence to regulatory requirements for digital certificates. Simplifies compliance reporting and demonstrates proper security controls during audits.
cERIAL features
Windows Certificate Store Management

Discovery and management of digital certificates within Windows Certificate Store. Windows Certificate Store's Trusted Root Certificates container is used as trust store. Enrolled certificates are automatically imported into Windows Certificate Store without any effort for the admin.
Filesystem-based Certificate Management
Loading and managing certificates in different places on the devices' file system. CERIAL inventories all discovered certificates at runtime and takes them into lifecycle management.
Automatic Handling of Expiring Certificates
If expiring certificates are discovered, renewal is processed automatically by CERIAL without any required human interaction.
Dynamic Certificate Request Information
To create a Certificate Signing Request, available device information can be used without static configuration e.g., hostname and IP address of the system.
EST Enrollment Protocol Support
CERIAL provides modern EST protocol support on all platforms.
OCSP Validation
Server certificates are validated against an OCSP Responder, if desired.
Post-Enrollment Script Execution
Re-configuration of the target application or sending notification messages. Call your custom script to take action after certificate enrollment or renewal. This provides maximum flexibility to administrators, whether automatic re-configuration of the target component or preparation for a planned maintenance.
