Certificate Wildcards

Shows wildcard certificates observed on your network, classifies their risk, and trends usage over time. Categories:

  • Good: No wildcards

  • Caution: Simple wildcards (e.g., *.example.com)

  • Warning: Malformed wildcards

  • Danger: Prefixed wildcards (e.g., *api.example.com)

  • Violation: Broad/unsafe wildcards (e.g., *.com)

Tip:  Where to find this in the Analytics Hub portal:
Main Menu → Reports

Use the time-based variants to view Wildcard Categories, Alt Name Categories, their Trends, and the Top wildcard/alt-name certificates in use.

Tip:  Prioritize Danger and Violation findings; replace with specific host certs where possible.
