Approval rules and workflows in TLS Protect Cloud

As an administrator, managing certificates can be challenging, especially when your organization relies on multiple systems, applications, and teams. Workflows in TLS Protect Cloud allow you to handle revocation requests and issuance requests in a controlled, automated way that is easy and ensures security at every step using workflow approval rules.

What are workflows?

Workflows allow you to automate the certificate management processes that are critical to keeping your systems secure. Workflows ensure the right people are involved, and the proper approvals are obtained before critical actions are taken. This means you don’t have to worry about certificates being issued or revoked without authorization. Workflows put you in control of these actions, reducing the chance of mistakes.

Why should you use workflows?

Workflows save you time and give you peace of mind. Workflow approval rules ensure that only authorized users can approve or reject requests, and provide automation that allow some requests to be automatically approved, and to route the other requests to the users or team responsible.

Workflows provide accountability. Every action taken—whether it’s approving, rejecting, or reviewing a request—is logged, so you’ll always know who did what and when. This visibility helps you keep track of your certificate operations, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

Workflows in TLS Protect Cloud make it easier to stay on top of your certificate lifecycle because they automate the approval, issuance, and revocation processes. Workflows not only reduce the risk of security incidents, but also free up time for your team. Workflows also ensure compliance with your organization's policies, ensuring that sensitive certificate operations are only carried out by the right people, at the right time.
