Description: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) monitoring refers to the continuous process of tracking the performance and security of a PKI, which is a set of roles, policies, hardware, software, and procedures necessary to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates. This monitoring is crucial to ensure the integrity and availability of security services that rely on PKI, such as authentication, digital signatures, and encryption. Through monitoring tools and techniques, vulnerabilities can be identified, suspicious activities detected, and assurance that certificates are issued and managed according to established policies. Additionally, monitoring helps maintain compliance with security regulations and standards, which is essential in environments where data protection is critical. Key features of PKI monitoring include monitoring certificate validity, key management, log auditing, and risk assessment. In an increasingly digital world, where cyber threats are a constant concern, effective monitoring of public key infrastructure becomes an essential component for information security and trust in electronic transactions.
