Continuous adaptation for survival

Tired of emergency certificate renewals during load shedding?

Altron Security's CLM solution adapts like a chameleon—with 360-degree visibility and perfect timing. We discover certificates including shadow IT, provide 90-day advance alerts, and reduce IT management time by 75%. Built for African infrastructure challenges.

Because in our dynamic environment, you need security that evolves with you.

Time to recovery from a certificate-related outage took three or more hours on average for 67% of teams to identify and remediate an outage

Certificate scanning reveals the complete certificate inventory that organizations are currently unaware of.

81% of organizations have experienced at least two or more disruptive outages caused by expired certificates in the past two years

Increased downtime

Organizations without a CLM tool are more likely to experience unexpected downtime due to expired or mismanaged certificates,

Security vulnerabilities

Organizations that do not implement effective certificate management report increased security breaches related to SSL/TLS certificates, exposing sensitive data and potentially leading to costly data breaches.

Compliance penalties

Organizations lacking a CLM tool face higher risk of non-compliance with industry regulations,

Stage 1: Discovery

Automated scanners continuously sweep networks, clouds, containers, applications. They find certificates everywhere:

Internal and external networks over multiple platforms.

Result: Organizations typically discover 3x more certificates than they knew existed.

Stage 2: Inventory

Every discovered certificate feeds into central database:

Expiration dates and remaining validity

Issuing Certificate Authority

Cryptographic algorithms and key lengths

Subject and domain names

Certificate owners and dependencies

Result: Complete visibility replaces spreadsheet chaos.

Stage 3: Assessment

Intelligent risk scoring prioritizes remediation:

Certificates expiring within 30, 60, 90 days

Weak SHA-1 algorithms requiring replacement

Rogue or self-signed certificates

Policy violations and untrusted CAs

Result: Focus on what matters most.

Stage 4: Renewal

Automated workflows eliminate manual intervention:

30-60-90 day expiration alerts

Automated renewal with Certificate Authorities

Zero-downtime certificate rotation

Integration with CI/CD pipelines

Self-service portals for developers

Result: Manual management time reduced by approx. 80%.

Stage 5: Continuous monitoring

Like chameleons that never stop scanning, CLM never stops validating:

Daily certificate health checks

New certificate detection

Change alerting and performance metrics

Compliance reporting

Result: Unexpected outages become impossible.
