Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Private End-Entity Certificate?
A Private End-Entity Certificate is a digital certificate used to authenticate and secure devices or applications within a private network. Unlike public certificates, they are not trusted by default on the public internet but are essential for internal security and communication.
Who typically uses Private End-Entity Certificates?
IT departments in organizations of all sizes use these certificates to secure internal servers, applications, IoT devices, and other endpoints within their private network. This includes businesses in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and any sector with sensitive internal data.
