Discovery & Inventory
Continuously discover certificates across networks, cloud, Kubernetes, and CT logs to build a live inventory, including the ones nobody documented.
Machine Identity for the Agentic Era
Your machines now have more identities than your people combined.
Certynx helps organizations discover, govern, automate, and remediate machine identities before they become security gaps or outages.
Why now
The ground under machine identity is shifting.
Certificates are getting shorter, cryptography is being rewritten, and the manual processes most teams still rely on won’t survive either change.
47 days
Maximum TLS certificate lifetime, phased in by 2029, down from 398 days today.
~8.5×
More renewals as lifetimes fall from 398 to 47 days. Manual tracking doesn’t scale.
2035
NIST’s proposed deadline to remove quantum-vulnerable public-key cryptography from its standards.
2024
The first post-quantum cryptographic standards were finalized. Migration is a program, not a someday.

The platform
One control plane for the whole certificate lifecycle.
Discover what you have, govern it with policy, and automate the lifecycle across every public and private CA.
Automated Renewal
Issue, validate, and deploy certificates automatically before they expire, built for a 47-day certificate lifecycle.
Policy & Governance
Enforce key strength, validity limits, approved CAs, and other controls at issuance. Every action is captured in a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit log.
CA Orchestration
One API across public and private CAs including Let’s Encrypt, DigiCert, EJBCA, Vault, and AD CS. Change CAs without rewriting automation.
Crypto Agility & PQC
Inventory cryptographic algorithms, identify migration requirements, and orchestrate the transition to post-quantum cryptography. Algorithm choice becomes policy, not plumbing.
CT Log Monitoring
Monitor Certificate Transparency logs for unexpected certificates issued for your namespaces and detect potential mis-issuance as it happens.
Integrations
Works with the CAs and infrastructure you already run.
Certynx sits above your certificate authorities and environments as a single control plane, so you can standardize automation without replacing what already works or getting locked into one CA.

How it works
A closed loop that runs without a human in it.
01
Discover & Inventory
Lightweight agents and cloud connectors continuously discover and inventory certificates, keys, and endpoints across your environment.
02
Score Against Policy
Every certificate is evaluated against policy for key strength, algorithm, expiry, ownership, and other compliance requirements.
03
Protect Keys
When HSM-backed issuance is required, keys are generated and used inside the HSM. Certynx sees only a handle, never the key.
04
Renew & Deploy
New certificates are issued, validated, deployed to the endpoint, and logged before the old certificate expires.
Coverage
Every machine identity, not just website certificates.
TLS is where most tools stop. Certynx extends machine identity governance across the systems and workloads that rely on cryptographic trust, with one inventory and one policy engine.

Where it looks
Unified visibility.Centralized policy.Immutable auditability.Across every machine identity.
Deployment
Your infrastructure. Your boundary. Your choice.
Certynx runs across the environments where machine identity requires control, from fully managed cloud to completely isolated infrastructure. The platform and security model remain consistent across every deployment.
Certynx Cloud
Fully managed
We operate the platform and cryptographic backend. You manage credentials, policy, and ownership.
- Cloud KMS & HSM
- Regional data residency
- No infrastructure to run
Private Cloud
Your infrastructure
Deploy Certynx inside your VPC or data center. Your infrastructure, your HSM, your network boundary.
- BYO KMS/HSM
- Any PKCS#11-compatible device
- Customer-held key ownership
Air-Gapped
Fully isolated
Run Certynx as a self-contained platform with no cloud reachback. Event transport, workers, and storage remain entirely inside the enclave.
- Signed images with SBOM
- Offline-reproducible installation
Who it’s for
One source of truth for every team that owns machine identity.
Each team gets the visibility and controls they need, without fragmenting the underlying inventory, policy, or ownership model.

Actions written to the audit trail
Security & PKI
Own the estate, not the busywork
Set policy once and see every certificate and key in one inventory, including the ones nobody documented.
- Enforce key strength and approved CAs at issuance
- Detect unexpected certificates through CT log monitoring
- Prove isolation between business units
Platform & DevOps
Short lifecycles that never page you
Automated issuance and deployment fit directly into your pipelines, so a 47-day certificate becomes a routine operation instead of a 2 a.m. incident.
- Native Kubernetes and CI/CD issuance
- One API across public and private CAs
- Terraform provider for identity as code
Compliance & Risk
Evidence on demand, not on deadline
A tamper-evident record of every action turns audit preparation from a scramble into a query.
- Hash-chained audit trail for every change
- Regional data residency when required
- A clear path to post-quantum migration
Questions
The things buyers ask us first.
Do we have to replace our current CAs?
No. Certynx works with the public and private CAs you already use. Standardize discovery, policy, and renewal through one control plane without replacing your existing infrastructure.
How fast is time-to-value?
Connect a read-only source and start building a live inventory of certificates, expirations, weak algorithms, and blind spots within about an hour. Automation comes after you understand the estate and establish policy.
Where does Certynx run?
Certynx is available as fully managed cloud, private cloud, or air-gapped deployment. Choose the environment that fits your data, network, sovereignty, and security requirements without changing the core platform.
Start with a scan. See what’s actually out there.
We’ll point Certynx at one subnet or one cluster with you. In the first hour, you’ll start seeing the certificates, expirations, algorithms, and blind spots hiding in your environment.
