TLS / SSL Certificate Monitoring

We follow the certificate transparency logs so that we can gain intelligence on all certificates issued for a specific domain. These are parsed in real time as they are issued and we can send notifications for new or expiring certificates.

Real-Time Certificate Transparency Monitoring

Certificate Transparency (CT) logs are public records of all SSL/TLS certificates issued by Certificate Authorities. ZoneWatcher monitors these logs in real-time, providing you with immediate visibility into all certificates issued for your domains.

Unauthorized Certificates: Detect unauthorized certificate issuance that could indicate a security breach
Legitimate Tracking: Track legitimate certificates issued by your team or automated systems
Subdomain Discovery: Monitor subdomains you might have forgotten about
Third Party Vendors: Keep an eye on certificates issued to third-party partners like support software under your domain

Certificate Expiration Alerts

Problem

Expired SSL certificates can cause website outages, security warnings, and damage to user trust. Many organizations struggle to keep track of certificate renewal dates across multiple domains and subdomains.

Solution

ZoneWatcher automatically tracks the expiration dates of all certificates for your domains and sends proactive alerts well before they expire.

New Certificate Notifications

Stay informed about all new certificates issued for your domains. When a new certificate appears in the Certificate Transparency logs, ZoneWatcher immediately analyzes it and provides detailed information.

Certificate Authority: Who issued the certificate
Domains Covered: All domains and subdomains included
Validity Period: Issue date and expiration date
Certificate Type: DV, OV, or EV validation level
Key Information: Algorithm, key size, and other technical details
