Free for up to 5 servers
All your SSL, On‑Premise
Discover, monitor and renew all certificates behind your firewall. No data leaves your network.
Unlimited free certificates. Visible source code. No vendor access to your environment. All data encrypted and on your own infrastructure. No supply chain risk.
Your last certificate expiry
Most IT teams have a collection of bash scripts, cron jobs, and Excel spreadsheets for certificates. It works until it doesn't.
Key person dependency
The colleague who wrote the script is on parental leave, changed jobs, or forgot how it works. Now it's archaeology.
No audit trail
NIS2 requires documented, monitored, and self-healing security processes. A cron job emailing failures to one inbox is not a documented process.
Credentials in plain text
DNS API keys, SSH passwords, and admin accounts scattered across servers in config files without review or access control.
No central visibility
Different scripts for each server type. No unified view of what's running, when it expires, or whether renewal failed.
Get early access
Join the list and get 20% off your first year of Basic, Professional or Enterprise.
Everything you need for certificate management
One appliance. All your certificates. Fully automated.
Discover
Scan your network to find every certificate. Know what you have, where it is, and when it expires.
Automate
Issue and renew certificates automatically. No manual steps. No expired certificates. No outages.
Deploy
Push certificates to IIS, Apache, Nginx, and more. Agents handle the last mile on every platform.
Some of our supported CAs
Your certificates, your servers, your network
Certificate automation requires admin credentials to your firewalls, load balancers, and servers. Those credentials cannot exist in someone else's cloud. sslbrain runs inside your network.
Credentials stay local
SSH keys, API tokens, and DNS credentials never leave your network. No supply chain attack can compromise your server credentials.
Encrypted vault
XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption. The decryption key exists only in memory, never on disk.
Fixed IP addresses
Only sslbrain needs outbound access to Cloud. Minimal firewall configuration.
One appliance for everything
IIS, Nginx, Apache, Exchange, FortiGate, and NetScaler from the same dashboard.
