Overview

Akelyess Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution provides a seamless way to create, provision, monitor, renew, and revoke digital certificates. Certificates are essential for securing communications, verifying identities, and establishing trust across systems. With Akeyless CLM, these processes are streamlined while reducing the risks of expired or mismanaged certificates.

Unlike solutions that rely on external KMS services, the Akeyless CLM solution securely manages keys directly within the Akeyless platform. Root Keys can be generated as DFC Keys, ensuring private keys remain protected at all times.

Akeyless integrates natively into diverse environments without requiring external secrets, leveraging its broad range of Authentication Methods. Fine-grained RBAC controls ensure each identity has the precise level of access it needs, in line with policies defined for thePKI Certificate Issuer.

Secrets used for provisioning can be automatically rotated out of the box, removing the overhead of managing external secret lifecycles. Operational visibility is built in, with full tracking through Akeyless Events and Audit Logs.
