Certificates/PKI

Citric can implement Public Key Infrastructure for organisations in two ways, depending on the purpose:

Internal Certificate Authority - For Organisational Use

• users will be able to digitally sign documents and emails - enabling paperless processes
• users can encrypt files and emails, and only enable trusted recipients to decrypt them - essential when sending personal and other sensitive data
• IT admins can recover encrypted files - not always possible with ad-hoc encryption
• All server and client communications can be encrypted - increasing security when there is a risk data can be intercepted
• Connections to internal/extranet websites can be SSL-secured - ensuring sensitive data such as passwords and email isn't exposed

• Exchange server certificates - secure Outlook Web Access, Outlook Anywhere and Mobile Device Access, and inter-server SMTP

As well as implementing the required services and polices, our consultants can also provide training and strategic guidance on how best to exploit an internal PKI, and how to extend an internal PKI to include partners.

An internal PKI based on Windows Server Enterprise is also an essential pre-requesite for running System Center Configuration Manager in native mode - enabling SCCM to support internet based clients, extending its reach to roaming users. 

Internet Trusted Certificates - For Compatibility
