Manual processes slow down your security
Manual certificate management is a major source of vulnerabilities and operational delays. Between creation requests, validation, and installation, IT teams waste valuable time, increasing the risk of undetected expirations.
Main negative impacts:
Critical expiration risks
A forgotten or improperly renewed certificate leads to costly service outages and exposes your infrastructure.
Slow provisioning speed
Manual processes create friction between security and infrastructure teams, slowing down application deployment.
Configuration errors
Manual input increases the likelihood of errors, compromising compliance and overall system security.
Swiftask automates provisioning via CyberArk Certificate Manager. Each request is processed instantly according to your security policies, ensuring continuous compliance without human intervention.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Traditional manual management
A team opens a ticket for a new certificate. The request waits in a queue, is validated by an expert, generated in CyberArk, then manually installed. Average delay: 3 to 5 business days.
Swiftask + CyberArk
The workflow is triggered by an API or system event. Swiftask communicates with CyberArk to provision the certificate instantly. Delay: a few seconds, with full traceability.
Automated deployment in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Define policies in Swiftask
Configure provisioning rules: certificate type, lifespan, and automatic approval criteria.
2
STEP 2 : Connect to CyberArk Certificate Manager
Establish a secure link between Swiftask and your CyberArk instance using native APIs.
3
STEP 3 : Configure the trigger
Set up your Swiftask workflow to respond to system requests, CI/CD pipelines, or ITSM tools.
4
STEP 4 : Execute and monitor
The certificate is provisioned. Track deployment status in real time via the Swiftask dashboard.
Advanced automation capabilities
Swiftask analyzes the request context to validate permissions, check quotas, and ensure compliance with company security standards.
- Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in cyberark certificate manager based on event context.
- Automated actions: Certificate creation requests, automated renewal, immediate revocation, utilization reporting, proactive alerts before expiration.
- Native governance: All actions are logged in Swiftask to facilitate compliance audits.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-cyberark-certificate-manager@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
