Venafi Announces Availability of Assessor™

February 2012 by Marc Jacob

Assessor is a downloadable, easy-to-install and cost-free software solution that scans an organization’s network to locate, and analyze, deployed digital certificates and the associated encryption keys. Assessor produces a series of reports that detail the security, operational and compliance risks derived from the data it collects. Additionally, Assessor provides remediation recommendations based on industry best practices and the aggregate experience of Venafi customers.

Gartner, Inc. recently indicated that organizations with roughly 200 or more X.509 certificates are high-risk candidates for costly unplanned downtime and brand damage. In a report, published Nov. 4 2011, Gartner analysts Eric Ouellet and Vic Wheatman wrote, “Organizations are often unaware of the scope or the validity status of their X.509 certificate and key deployments until it is too late. Organizations need to establish formalized plans and, if necessary, leverage available tools to minimize impacts.” Download the full report here.

Venafi Assessor runs on a pre-configured VMWare image and includes a Windows 2008 R2 server license. Once Assessor is installed in your environment, it performs a network-based risk assessment and generates a series of reports (PDF). Reports included in the Assessment are:

Certificate Population
