Cleveland, OH – June 27, 2013 – Certified Security Solutions (CSS), a leading provider of certificate and PKI management software and services, announces immediate availability of a System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) management pack for the Certificate Management System (CMS).
CSS’ Certificate Management System offers a powerful set of enhancements to the natively available Microsoft certificate services. Following the release of the Certificate Management System (CMS) 3.0 in May, CSS is now offering a Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) management pack for the CMS Reporting and Administration module. This management pack provides the ability to generate SCOM alerts on impending certificate expirations – even for certificates that are not installed on Windows Servers.
“CMS superbly provides oversight of our customers’ PKI and digital certificates, but adding the management pack allows SCOM more direct insight into the process,” states Ted Shorter, CSS CTO. “We’re excited about this combination and see this as a first step towards a deeper integration with the Microsoft System Center suite and the Certificate Management System.”
Leveraging the CMS Reporting and Administration module’s certificate notification and scanning engines, the SCOM Management pack allows for intuitive and knowledge based reporting. CMS scans and reports on email sending errors, impending certificate expirations and more.
CMS is the leading product for issuing and managing certificates across devices and services and uniquely designed to provide secure comprehensive issuance, revocation, and management of certificates in an IT environment. With on-device issuance and key generation, support for Linux, Java and Windows certificate processes and a deep reporting and alerting infrastructure, CMS brings IT administrators everything they need to manage their certificate services at scale, reducing risk of service outage and device access denial due to expired or invalid certificates.
The SCOM Management pack is included in the Certificate Management System (CMS) Enterprise Suite. The Certificate Management System (CMS) is available on premise and in cloud with CSS’ Managed PKI offering, and is delivered using an agile software development cycle, with yearly release plans to include a six month iterative. Demonstrations and free evaluation copies of the Certificate Management System (CMS) are available.
