The growing adoption of AI, cloud computing, and digital modernization is driving the exponential growth of non-human identities. Today, non-human identities outnumber human identities by a ratio of 101:1, making certificate management an increasingly critical challenge.
In hybrid, multicloud, and on-premises environments, every unmanaged TLS certificate represents a potential blind spot that can compromise service availability, increase the attack surface, and expose organizations to security and compliance risks.
Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) solutions help prevent breaches and protect organizations' digital infrastructure, making this a top priority for CISOs and IT leaders.
TLS certificates are a key mechanism for establishing trust in digital communications, ensuring entity authentication, and protecting data in transit.
Shorter Certificate Lifespans
The CA/Browser Forum has approved a progressive reduction in the maximum validity period for TLS certificates through March 2029. This change will directly affect the operating model of any organization that relies on certificates to secure its communications.
With certificates requiring more frequent renewal, manual TLS certificate management is no longer sustainable. Automation is essential to reduce risk, prevent service disruptions, and ensure business continuity.
