Getting started¶

If you're just getting started with TLS Protect Cloud™, you've come to the right place.

Of course, the first step is to sign in to Venafi Control Plane.

After signing in, protecting machine identities boils down to two primary tasks:

1. Discovering server certificates, wherever they live
2. Managing discovered server certificates to prevent outages and security breaches

So here are the best ways to get started with these essential tasks:

• Create your first private or public discovery service.

• If certificates are already in your inventory, use the Dashboard to learn how they're doing.

• If you're a Venafi Control Plane administrator, learn about TLS Protect Cloud administration tasks, such as adding people to your Control Plane account or changing a person's roles and permissions.
