mTLS monitoring built for secure engineering teams
Monitor private microservices, banking APIs, and zero-trust networks with client certificate authentication, custom Root CAs, and automated SSL expiration tracking.
AES-256-GCM encrypted storage. Zero private key exposure in UI or logs.
Deep Mutual TLS Protection for Critical Backends
Traditional ping tools cannot bypass mTLS gateways. Uptara acts as a cryptographic client to ensure mission-critical services stay operational.
X.509 Client Certificate Authentication
Natively present client certificates (.pem, .crt) during the TLS handshake to authenticate against private fintech and zero-trust microservice endpoints.
Custom Root & Intermediate CAs
Verify internal corporate APIs by attaching custom enterprise Root CA bundles. Probes validate private certificate chains without insecure TLS verification flags.
AES-256-GCM Envelope Encryption
Your private keys are encrypted using hardware-backed KMS master keys. Private keys are sanitized in memory, never exposed via read APIs, and never printed to logs.
Proactive SSL Expiration Warnings
Never suffer an outage due to an unrenewed certificate. Uptara calculates expiration dates on every run and alerts you at 30, 14, 7, and 1 day prior.
TLS Handshake Timing Telemetry
Isolate network bottlenecks. Uptara measures TCP connection time, TLS cryptographic negotiation latency, and TTFB independently on each probe.
Fintech & Open Banking Compliance
Satisfy PCI-DSS 4.0, Open Banking UK/Europe, and enterprise zero-trust mandates requiring active continuous health verification of private service meshes.

}Frequently Asked Questions
In standard HTTPS, only the server proves its identity to the client. In Mutual TLS (mTLS), both the client and server cryptographically verify each other using X.509 digital certificates. Uptara enables you to provide client certificates securely so automated probes can verify internal APIs behind mTLS firewalls.
All client private keys and custom Root CA certificates are encrypted with AES-256-GCM envelope encryption using KMS keys. Private keys are loaded strictly into ephemeral probe memory during execution, never returned across read APIs, and never printed in diagnostic traces.
Yes. You can upload your internal enterprise Root CA bundle. Uptara validates the server certificate against your custom truststore rather than public certificate authorities, maintaining zero-trust integrity.
Yes. Uptara supports TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 with standard Server Name Indication (SNI). Modern cipher suites including AES-GCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305 are prioritized.
Every probe parses the leaf certificate’s notAfter timestamp. When an expiration threshold is reached (30 days, 14 days, 7 days, or 24 hours), automated notifications are dispatched to WhatsApp, Slack, PagerDuty, and email.
