SSL certificates need to be monitored continually; else they expire like yogurts. Most security engineers, site owners, and certificate resellers deal with heaps of information about SSL certificates.
Since finding info on SSL certificates is a relatively common practice, there are many methods of doing so. But the command-line techniques utilized by most specialists can feel very dated and difficult to grasp for newcomers. Forget the user-friendly interfaces and simple solutions we are used to in the world of modern tech.
That’s why more and more people are turning to online tools to save time and brainpower. In this article, we discuss one of these tools called CertDB. This tool was made by Spyse, a cybersecurity company aiming to give power to the people on the internet.
