Certificate and public key infrastructure management is complex and often not well understood. As a result, it is a responsibility that resides jointly within IT Infrastructure, Operations, and Security Operations. Automating the entire lifecycle of Machine Identities is critical, but many companies have struggled to integrate deployed Venafi infrastructures with their existing service management and ticketing systems.

The Difenda Machine Identity Protection for ServiceNow application helps security professionals be optimally IT efficient as they ensure machine identities in their organization are protected. Plus, enterprises benefit from faster, easier and viral adoption of their Machine Identity Protection programs.

Certificate owners need no additional training to benefit from easy access to the keys and certificates they need to do their job with the Difenda Machine Identity Protection for ServiceNow application. And because the Venafi Platform policy and automation ensures application of each organization’s policies related to keys and certificates—such as expiry dates and installation locations—those keys and certificates are secure. The result is certificate lifecycle management that is intelligent and efficient and can be automated to reduce risk of human error. It’s also easy to use for standard machine identity tasks like notification of upcoming renewals or renewals themselves.
