With Akhil Behl

Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Cisco Unified Communications Manager Certificates. 

Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the heart of any Cisco Collaboration network. It provides vital services such as call control; dial plan; and, most important, a central point of integration for various UC and third party applications. Cisco Unified Communications Manager comes with a host of security features, almost all of which are based on certificates -Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Although, certificates empower an engineer to a network manager to an information security consultant to enable and deploy security features for Cisco Collaboration network; many of the certificates and their functions remain to be understood and managed properly to achieve a truly secure voice network construct.
