Certbot ACME Proxy

Securely Automate Certificate Renewal at Scale

Managing certificates at scale shouldn’t be complex or risky. The Forum Sentry ACME Proxy feature delivers secure, fully automated certificate issuance and renewal—while giving your organization centralized control, visibility, and compliance.

Shorter certificate lifecycles aren’t a future concern—they’re an industry reality. By adopting automated renewal through ACME and enforcing it centrally with an ACME Proxy, organizations can stay compliant, reduce risk, and scale securely as industry requirements continue to evolve

ACME PROXY
Secure ACME Proxy Architecture

The Forum Sentry ACME proxy provides a secure, controlled gateway between your environments and external certificate authorities.

Key benefits include:

  • Reduced Attack Surface
    Keep certificate authority access off your internal networks by routing all ACME traffic through a hardened proxy.

  • Credential Protection
    Centralize and safeguard ACME account credentials and private key handling to minimize risk.

  • Controlled Network Access
    Simplify firewall rules and outbound access by limiting CA connectivity to a single, trusted endpoint.
