Certificate lifecycle,
without another platform.
Venafi defined enterprise certificate management — as a separate, heavyweight platform with enterprise pricing to match. With public certificate lifetimes heading toward 47 days by 2029, every team needs certificate automation now, not just the Fortune 500. Monopam Certificate Manager puts agentless discovery, automated renewal, and deployment inside the PAM platform you already run — deployed in minutes.
47 days changes who needs CLM
The CA/Browser Forum has set public TLS certificate lifetimes on a path down to 47 days by 2029. At that cadence, manual tracking and renewal stops being risky and becomes impossible — certificate automation turns from a Fortune 500 purchase into table stakes for every team.
Inside the platform, not beside it
A dedicated CLM suite means another console, another integration project, another contract to renew. In Monopam, certificates live next to the vault, sessions, and approvals you already operate — one platform, one console, one bill.
A closed loop, not a spreadsheet
Discovery finds certificates by network scan and in server stores; renewal runs through ACME, AD CS, or the built-in CA; deployment pushes the renewed certificate to nginx, Apache, or IIS and verifies it is serving. Expiry alerts and CT-log monitoring watch the edges.
Monofor vs Venafi,
feature by feature.
On core certificate lifecycle the platforms overlap — Venafi has been doing this longest. The difference is footprint: a module inside the PAM platform you already run, versus a dedicated enterprise suite bought and integrated on its own.

Common questions.
- Do we need a separate CLM tool at all?
- Not with Monopam. Certificate Manager is a module of the PAM platform — discovery, issuance, renewal, deployment, alerting, and reporting run in the same console as your vault and privileged sessions. No second platform to buy, integrate, and renew.
- Which certificate authorities are supported?
- ACME — including Let’s Encrypt and any ACMEv2-compatible CA — Microsoft AD CS for Windows-centric PKI, and a built-in private CA for internal certificates. Public, enterprise, and internal issuance all run through the same lifecycle.
- Is discovery really agentless?
- Yes. Certificates are discovered by network scanning and by reading server certificate stores over the gateway using SSH and WinRM — no agent rollout on your fleet.
- Does it actually deploy the renewed certificate, or just alert us?
- It closes the loop. Renewed certificates are deployed to nginx, Apache, and IIS through the gateway, the service is reloaded, and the deployment is verified — with alerting as the safety net rather than the whole product.
- Why does the 47-day lifetime matter for us?
- Public TLS certificate lifetimes are on an industry-agreed schedule stepping down to 47 days by 2029. A certificate estate that renews eight times a year per certificate cannot be managed by spreadsheet and calendar reminders — automation becomes the only viable operating model.
