1. A method of managing certificates on passive devices included in an isolated network, comprising:
associating, by a processor in a centralized computing device, a certificate profile with one or more passive devices in a plurality of passive devices in one or more isolated networks, wherein the passive devices are characterized by an inability to initiate communication for certificate management;
generating, by the processor, a certificate signing request (CSR) message for each of the associated passive devices;
sending, by the processor, the generated CSR messages to a certificate authority;
receiving, by the processor, digital certificates from the certificate authority in response to sending the generated CSR messages to the certificate authority; and
sending, by the processor, the received digital certificates to their respective associated passive devices.
