Why your business needs certificate lifecycle management
Certificate-based outages happen all the time and cost organizations a lot of money. They also affect everyone, companies big and small. Over recent years, digital certificates have been proliferating in enterprise networks, securing more than just websites. Nowadays, they protect humans, devices, and workloads too. All these trends lead to more certificates renewing more frequently, and therefore to an increased risk of outages.

SSL/TLS certificate lifespans are getting shorter
In 2020, the maximum term for a public SSL/TLS certificates dropped to 398 days. Now the largest browsers are advocating for even shorter digital certificate lifespans in the future.
- Google's "Moving Forward, Together" roadmap intents to reduce TLS certificate maximum validity to 90 days.
- Apple introduced a draft ballot on GitHub to gradually reduce the maximum public TLS term to 47 days by 2028.
If this ballot passes, this is what the reality could look like for businesses renewing their public TLS certificates ➔
