Manual subdomain management is no longer viable
With the explosion of cloud environments, keeping an exhaustive list of your subdomains is a challenge. Manual methods fail to keep pace, leaving unsecured assets exposed.
Main negative impacts:
Uncontrolled Shadow IT
New subdomains are created without following security processes, creating potential vulnerabilities.
Compliance risks
A forgotten subdomain may not be covered by your SSL policies, exposing your data to interception.
Slow incident response
Without an up-to-date inventory, identifying the origin of a breach on an obscure subdomain takes valuable time.
Swiftask automates monitoring via the Cert Spotter API. As soon as a new certificate is issued for your domain, the agent validates the subdomain and alerts you instantly.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Before automation
Security teams periodically scan domains, often using complex scripts or third-party tools. The delay between the creation of a subdomain and its discovery can be several weeks.
With Swiftask + SSLMate
Cert Spotter detects the certificate issuance immediately. Swiftask processes the information, validates the subdomain against your criteria, and updates your inventory or alerts the team instantly.
4 steps to automate your domain validation
1
STEP 1 : Cert Spotter API configuration
Generate your API key in SSLMate and add it as a secure data source in your Swiftask environment.
2
STEP 2 : Define validation rules
Set the criteria that each subdomain must meet (e.g., belonging to a zone, presence of specific tags).
3
STEP 3 : Workflow automation
Create a Swiftask agent that regularly queries the API and triggers automated validation actions.
4
STEP 4 : Reporting and alerts
Receive automated reports on newly discovered subdomains or alerts for those that do not meet the rules.
Advanced monitoring capabilities
Your agent analyzes the context of each issued certificate: root domain, issuer, expiration date, and SAN extensions.
- Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in sslmate — cert spotter api based on event context.
- Automated actions: Real-time retrieval of new certificates. Automated validation against a whitelist. Slack/Teams notification in case of suspicious discovery. Automated update of an inventory database.
- Native governance: The full history of validations is kept in Swiftask for your security audits.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-sslmate-—-cert-spotter-api@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.
