The Fortinet FortiWEB Certificate Detection Scanner is designed to identify security issues related to SSL/TLS certificate configurations in FortiWEB Web Application Firewall systems. Improper certificate management, such as the use of expired, self-signed, or weak certificates, can expose web applications to risks including man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and data interception.
This scanner evaluates the validity, trust chain, and cryptographic strength of certificates in use, ensuring they comply with industry best practices. By highlighting certificate-related vulnerabilities, the scanner enables organizations to maintain secure encrypted communications and uphold the integrity and confidentiality of web traffic.
- Replace any expired, self-signed, or weak SSL/TLS certificates used by Fortinet FortiWEB.
- Ensure that certificates are issued by trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs).
- Use certificates with strong cryptographic algorithms (e.g., SHA-256 and RSA-2048 or higher).
- Enable automatic certificate renewal and expiration monitoring to prevent downtime.
- Regularly audit certificate configurations and remove unused or outdated certificates.
- Restrict administrative access to certificate management interfaces.
