In my testing and support role as an analyst, I handle a certificates list, checking their expiry dates, and if a certificate is expiring within a month, we ask if there are any private keys to add; if not, we put a public key for renewal or creation based on the expiry date, and we obsolete certificates not in use from the Venafi tool.

The last contract I was on, I used it with TPP, and we migrated their internal infrastructure to AWS and then back connected to the database internally in their internal network, and it worked just peachy.
For Venafi, our use case is for managing the internal certificates of the company. We use Intrust for public certificates, but the internal certificates, the certificates generated for our own system, are managed, stored, renewed, and downloaded using Venafi.
The basic use case of Venafi is as a cybersecurity solution, focusing on securing machine identities and managing cryptographic keys and digital certificates.

I work in telecom. I am not only working with Venafi; I am also working with other CyberArk products. The most important use case for us is certificate inventory, discovery, automation, and lifecycle management of multiple endpoints across multiple platforms. We automate certificates on various platforms, including OpenShift. We are working on Azure migrations. Venafi acts as a central core platform. It provides a view of every application certificate hosted and serves as a central system to implement security governance policies. Venafi acts as the heart of everything we do.

As the Venafi administrator at my previous organization, which was a payments processor and software company handling payments, I managed hundreds of certificates, primarily for TLS termination. We automated certificate management within Venafi and integrated it with Fortanix, a hardware security module, to achieve FIPS 140-3 compliance. My role involved structuring Venafi's folder structure, assigning ownership, and training various teams across the organization on using the platform. This included introducing the marketing team to the tool and setting up integrations. Beyond the technical implementation, I focused on fostering organizational buy-in by explaining Venafi's capabilities, providing training, and empowering teams to choose their level of engagement. This collaborative approach ensured that teams understood the benefits of Venafi and could effectively monitor and manage their certificates. Beyond adhering to best practices, we implemented Venafi to address the stringent security requirements of our banking partners. As a B2B SaaS provider for healthcare payments, we white-labeled our services for major banks that demanded advanced security for certificate generation. While Venafi offers native Fortanix integration for encrypting its database with a Fortanix-generated master key, this did not meet our partners' specific requirements. To achieve full compliance, we collaborated with consultants to develop a more advanced integration, ensuring each certificate was generated directly within Fortanix. This solution ultimately enabled us to meet STIP compliance standards for our larger banking customers.

We use Venafi for certificate management, including tracking expiration dates and automating installations. Venafi eliminates manual installation by automating the process across various endpoints, including servers, load balancers, and cloud workspaces like AWS and Azure. Venafi solved our healthcare-related identity security problems by automating the monitoring of certificate expiration dates. Previously, this was a manual process, but Venafi automatically emailed certificate owners and their managers, escalating notifications without our intervention. This automation eliminates manual reports and prevents outages caused by certificate expirations. We currently operate on-premises but have purchased a cloud-based SaaS version of Venafi that is being deployed.

We use this product for our clients' server authentication and application ID certificate. We create the certificate so that when a user tries to access an application, it looks for that specific certificate based on the volume information and it authenticates on that basis. I'm a lead system operation engineer and we are customers of Venafi.
