Next-Generation Trust Security

Bring certificate lifecycle management and Strata™ Cloud Manager better together with Next-Gen Trust Security.
Next-Generation Trust Security unifies public and private trust under a single control framework. It extends Strata™ Cloud Manager with integrated certificate lifecycle governance and SaaS-based private PKI services. By shifting from periodic infrastructure management to continuous operational control, this solution ensures that the systems validating trust and authenticating identities depend on real-time certificate state. The result is sustained network resilience and governed certificate velocity at an enterprise scale.
Key capabilities include:
  • Unified Discovery and Inventory:The discovery engine scans public and private networks, internal and external CAs, cloud-native key stores, Kubernetes clusters, and network appliances. It creates a single authoritative inventory that provides visibility into expiration status, trust hierarchies, and policy alignment across the entire certificate estate.
  • Policy-Driven Automation: Automated workflows govern the entire certificate lifecycle, covering issuance, installation, validation, renewal, and retirement across enterprise environments to prevent outages. It also supports post-quantum readiness and enables organizations to manage the increasing renewal velocity associated with shortened certificate lifecycles.
  • SaaS-based Private PKI Services: The SaaS-based private PKI capability replaces hardware-dependent, on-premises CA environments with cloud-delivered PKI services that provide HSM-backed secure operations and high availability across regions.
  • Crypto-Agility: The CA-neutral architecture enables organizations to execute controlled transitions, such as algorithm updates or CA changes, without destabilizing production systems.
  • Outage Prevention: Next-Generation Trust Security preserves enforcement continuity and enterprise-wide certificate health by ensuring certificates supporting critical services are renewed and validated before expiration. Continuous monitoring and automated lifecycle controls reduce the risk of certificate-related failures across your operational environment.
After activation, you can access and manage Next-Generation Trust Security directly within Strata Cloud Manager. From a centralized interface, you can align cryptographic trust with your network control plane, ensuring consistent governance across firewalls, SASE services, and enterprise workloads.
