PKI Spotlight 29.1 Release Announcement

PKI Spotlight 29.1 marks a significant expansion of PKI observability with the introduction of monitoring for Public Certificate Authorities. For the first time, PKI Spotlight brings internal and public trust infrastructure into a single operational and security view.

Public PKI is no longer limited to a handful of web certificates. It now underpins SaaS platforms, APIs, customer-facing applications, zero trust initiatives, and third-party integrations. Yet for most organizations, visibility into public CA activity remains fragmented, reactive, and dependent on vendor-specific portals and email notifications.

What’s New in 29.1

With Public CA Monitoring, PKI Spotlight now provides visibility into certificates issued by public certificate authorities, starting with DigiCert CertCentral integration. This release enables teams to:

• Monitor issued public certificates and expiration status alongside internal PKI assets
• Track domain validation and organizational details associated with public certificates
• Understand which products and subscriptions certificates are tied to
• Gain visibility into user access and administrative activity
• Centralize alerts and notifications across internal and public PKI environments

This change does not replace existing certificate lifecycle processes. It adds visibility where it has historically been missing. The result is a unified observability and notification plane for all PKI events, not just the ones you already know to look for.

PKI Spotlight, 29.1 reflects how the platform continues to expand as a centralized observability layer for PKI. Public CA Monitoring is one example of how Spotlight exposes activity and risk that typically lives outside traditional PKI tooling.
