AppViewX CERT+

AppViewX CERT+ is the certificate lifecycle management product within the AVX platform, which the vendor positions as a single system for a world of multiplying machine and AI agent identities, combining discovery, automation, control and intelligence. The platform framing is the reason to consider CERT+ over a standalone tool, because certificates are only one of several machine credential types that fail the same way.

The companion products make that concrete. AppViewX PKI replaces legacy private certificate authorities with a crypto-agile, CLM-integrated platform, explicitly aimed at trading on-premise burden and certificate authority vendor lock-in for agility. AppViewX SSH discovers every SSH key and certificate and automates the full lifecycle, and the vendor's argument for managing SSH alongside certificates rather than in a separate silo is sound: unmanaged SSH keys create exactly the blind spots unmanaged certificates do, and splitting them across two teams and two tools guarantees neither inventory is complete.

Code signing is handled with visibility into every signing event for security and DevOps teams, and Agent Identity Security addresses AI agents acting with ungoverned privileges. AppACCESS+ combines automated load balancer provisioning with CLM and DNS management, and a separate ADC product automates application delivery services with self-service capability for network and app teams.

The named problems the platform targets are unusually current: 47-day certificate validity compliance, enterprise PKI modernisation, post-quantum cryptography readiness, Kubernetes and container security, IoT device identity, secure code signing for DevOps, crypto-agility and CA-agility. The 47-day validity item is worth attention, since certificate validity periods are being compressed by industry policy rather than by choice, and organisations without automation face a workload increase they did not plan for.

Platform capabilities include smart discovery, closed-loop automation and crypto resilience scorecards. A resource library, webinars, case studies, an education center, glossary and an SSL/TLS scanning tool are published. A pricing page exists but no figure was retrievable.
