S/MIME – Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions – is an internationally established email security standard that has been in place for 30 years. It encrypts messages and provides digital signatures, thus ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of communications. Despite these advantages, managing S/MIME certificates presents challenges for IT departments: Each certificate must be monitored, renewed, distributed, and seamlessly integrated into existing systems – an administrative burden that continually increases with the number of users.
Typical challenges without automated management
Manual processes often lead to organizational challenges and security-related risks in companies:
- Without centralized administration, certificate management becomes confusing and the risk of security vulnerabilities increases.
- Expiring certificates cause communication disruptions and compliance risks.
- IT administrators must manually monitor, renew, and distribute certificates – a time-consuming and error-prone process.
