Do you know how many SSL certificates you have deployed, where they are located, when they expire, and if they are providing adequate protection?

Red Kestrel's SSL Certificate Discovery Tool is a comprehensive product designed to help businesses improve the security and management of their SSL certificates. By locating, testing and providing a detailed inventory of your SSL certificates, the tool helps organisations avoid costly system failures, issues with compliance, or losses from data breach.


Key Features of Discovery

  •   Searches your networks for SSL certificates
  •   Highlights expired or expiring SSL certificates
  •   Sends alerts to one or more recipients
  •   Highlights certificates that allow security breaches
  •   Scans IP ranges or supplied lists of hosts
  •   Lets you specify ranges of TCP ports to check
  •   Produces detailed certificate reports
  •   Scales for large organisations

How Certificate Discovery Works

Manual tracking often misses "Shadow IT"—certificates installed on non-standard ports or by different departments. CertAlert automates the audit trail:

  1. Network Probing: The tool scans your defined IP ranges and TCP ports.
  2. Handshake & Retrieval: It performs a TLS handshake to pull the certificate details without needing local agent access.
  3. Vulnerability Analysis: Each certificate is checked against modern security standards (key length, signature algorithm, expiry).
  4. Inventory Logging: Results are compiled into a central inventory for ongoing management.
