I wrote up a blog entry on this a number of years ago: https://www.petefreitag.com/blog/how-resolve-java-https/ it lists out the most common reasons, for that error. A fairly common one is that the server you are trying to connect to is missing the intermediate certificate. I just helped someone with this same error yesterday, and the problem was that. This is common because browsers don’t usually throw a certificate error when the intermediate certificate is missing, but server side tools like cfhttp will.

Try updating the JVM.  Yours is a year and half old and may have expired certificates.  Current version provided by Adobe is 11.0.22

Not sure but maybe the certificate needs to be added to the keystore:  https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/import-certificates-certificate-stores-coldfusion.html   Especially if the cert is self-signed in a development environment.
