Security - Network: SSL Certificates

Insights - SSL Certificates Report

Overview

The SSL Certificates report provides a comprehensive analysis of all Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates within your IT infrastructure. It helps organizations monitor certificate expiration dates, key lengths, and encryption protocols to ensure continuous security and compliance.

SSL/TLS certificates play a critical role in securing communication between users and servers. Expired or weak certificates can lead to vulnerabilities, non-compliance, and potential downtime. This report enables IT administrators to:

  • Monitor SSL/TLS certificate expiration to prevent service disruptions.

  • Identify expired or soon-to-expire certificates for timely renewal.

  • Track key lengths and encryption protocols to ensure compliance with security best practices.

  • Strengthen cybersecurity posture by mitigating risks associated with expired or weak certificates.

 Details of the Report

The SSL Certificates report provides both a visual summary and a detailed tabular breakdown of certificates across servers and domains. Certificates are categorized based on their expiration status, making it easier to prioritize renewals. 

This report can be found in the following path: 
Reports > Security > Network Security > SSL Certificates 

Key Metrics 

At the top of the report, the following key data points are highlighted:

  • Total SSL Certificates – The total number of detected certificates.

  • Servers – Certificates associated directly with servers.

  • Other – Certificates not directly tied to a specific server.

The bar chart visualization displays certificates by expiration status:

  • Expired – Certificates that are no longer valid.

  • 30 Days – Certificates expiring within the next 30 days.

  • 90 Days – Certificates expiring within 90 days.

  • 1 Year – Certificates with up to 1 year of validity remaining.

  • >1 Year – Certificates valid for more than one year.

What Can Be Found in the Report

The detailed section lists all certificates and includes the following columns:

  • IP Address – The server or device associated with the certificate.

  • Protocol – The encryption protocol in use (e.g., TLS 1.2, TLS 1.3).

  • End Date – The expiration date of the certificate.

  • Key Length – The encryption key size (e.g., 2048-bit, 4096-bit).

  • Days Remaining – Number of days before the certificate expires.

Additional features include:

  • Filters and Columns controls to refine or customize the display.

  • CSV Export for external analysis and reporting.

How This Report Can Help Your Business

By regularly reviewing the SSL Certificates report, IT and security teams can:

  • Proactively renew certificates to avoid downtime and service disruptions.

  • Ensure compliance with modern encryption standards and policies.

  • Reduce risk by eliminating expired, soon-to-expire, or weak certificates.

  • Maintain a centralized inventory of all SSL/TLS certificates for efficient management.

The SSL Certificates report is generated using Block 64 tools, which continuously monitor SSL/TLS certificates across managed servers and devices. This ensures real-time visibility into certificate health and expiration timelines, enabling organizations to maintain compliance, enhance security, and ensure uninterrupted service availability.
