Rabobank Certificate Lifecycle Management Case Study

This case study details Rabobank's implementation of an automated certificate lifecycle management (CLM) solution from AppViewX, aimed at reducing overhead and maintenance costs while enhancing security. Prior to the deployment of AVX CLM, Rabobank faced numerous challenges, including long certificate processing times, manual decentralized operations, and a lack of an end-to-end solution for managing their public key infrastructure (PKI). The document outlines the problems encountered, such as undefined processes and a lack of visibility over certificate inventories. Following a thorough vendor evaluation process, Rabobank selected AppViewX for its capability to provide a comprehensive solution. The implementation resulted in significant benefits, including a reduction in certificate creation time from two days to minutes, improved tracking of certificate ownership, and enhanced security measures. The case study concludes with a discussion of the achieved results, including cost savings and increased awareness among users regarding certificate management.
