Risks of fraudulently issued SSL certificates
Domain hijacking via fraudulent SSL certificates is a growing threat. Without active monitoring, a Certificate Authority can issue a certificate for your domain without your knowledge. This allows attackers to create credible phishing sites, compromising your users and reputation.
Main negative impacts:
Facilitated identity theft
A valid certificate makes malicious sites undetectable by browsers, deceiving your customers and employees.
Delayed incident detection
Without monitoring, you only discover fraudulent issuance when an attack is already underway, making remediation costly.
Complexity of manual monitoring
Manually checking Certificate Transparency (CT) logs for every domain is impossible at scale.
Swiftask automation via the Cert Spotter API continuously analyzes transparency logs. As soon as a certificate is detected for your monitored domains, an alert is triggered immediately.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Without Swiftask automation
Your IT team only checks transparency logs occasionally. A malicious certificate is issued. It remains active for days or weeks before being discovered, giving attackers time to run their campaigns.
With Swiftask + Cert Spotter
As soon as a Certificate Authority registers a certificate for one of your domains, Cert Spotter notifies Swiftask. An alert is sent to your communication channels (Slack, Teams, Email) in seconds.
Set up your SSL monitoring in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Configure your Cert Spotter integration
Connect your SSLMate API key to Swiftask to authorize access to domain monitoring feeds.
2
STEP 2 : Define your domains to monitor
List your critical domains in Swiftask. The AI agent will immediately start querying the API for any new records.
3
STEP 3 : Set up security alerts
Choose the criticality level and notification channel. Get alerted as soon as issuance is detected.
4
STEP 4 : Automate incident response
Configure an automatic action, such as opening a ticket or a high-priority notification to your security team.
Advanced monitoring capabilities
The Swiftask agent filters legitimate issuances from suspicious certificates by analyzing the issuer and certificate metadata.
- Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in sslmate — cert spotter api based on event context.
- Automated actions: Real-time CT log analysis via Cert Spotter. Multi-channel alerts. Full issuance history. Integration with your ticketing tools.
- Native governance: Swiftask ensures 24/7 vigilance across your entire network perimeter.
