Integrate with Microsoft ADCS for enhanced protection of Active Directory Certificate Services keys. Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) is a server role in Windows Server that enables you to build a public key infrastructure (PKI) and provide public key cryptography, digital certificates, and digital signature capabilities for your organization. ADCS is widely used for a variety of applications, including SSL/TLS certificates, email encryption, and secure device authentication.

​
Key features
