dedicated virtual private networks, dedicated
cloud managed database and cloud HSMs. One
customer does not affect another customer from
a load, operations or security perspective

Console gives authorized users a detailed view
of application and client activities . Anytime a remote user/agent attempts to access a
certificate or perform an action in the Admin Web
Console that usage is logged and displayed in
the web console where it can be viewed or
exported. The Signum Administrator will be able
to view the Events and System logs. The Events
log shows certificate usage events, and the
