IMPORTANT - Certificate update for CloudGuard Controller and CloudGuard for Azure

Microsoft Azure is updating its TLS certificate chain during January 2021 as part of a phased plan that began in the summer of 2020. While the final revocation will not occur until February 2021, the new intermediate CA being rolled out in January cannot service the old certificates.

As a result, users must follow the procedures explained below AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to prevent connectivity outage with Azure. (See Microsoft's notification here.)

If you have the following products deployed in Azure:

• SmartConsole Server or Multi-Domain Management running CloudGuard Controller or CME and provisioning Azure environments,
• CloudGuard IaaS HA environments on Azure,

please refer to sk170660 for relevant automatic or manual remediation information.
