Certificate Lifecycle Management Solutions for a New Era
The shift to 47-day TLS/ SSL certificates is a fundamental change in how organizations manage digital trust. With the right approach, it’s not a disruption. It’s an opportunity to modernize certificate lifecycle management solutions, strengthen security, and take control of your PKI strategy.
Solutions Highlights:
Prepare for 47-Day TLS Certificates
Shorter TLS certificate lifecycles mean more renewals, tighter validation windows, and greater operational complexity. Automated certificate lifecycle management helps teams stay ahead.
Reduce Outage Risk and Manual Effort
Replace reactive, manual processes with automation for certificate discovery, issuance, renewal, deployment, and governance across complex environments.
Take Control With Private PKI
Shift appropriate workloads to private PKI to reduce reliance on public certificate lifecycles, strengthen policy control, and support scalable certificate management.
47-Day Certificates Create a New Level of Complexity
Certificate Volume and Velocity
With shortened certificate lifecycles, renewal cycles increase from once per year to 8-12 times annually per certificate. Without certificate lifecycle automation, manual renewals become difficult to scale and increase the risk of missed expirations.
Limited Visibility Across Environments
Certificates are often spread across cloud, hybrid, containers, and DevOps pipelines. Limited inventory and inconsistent management make it difficult to keep up with renewals across enterprise environments.
Risk of Outages and Disruption
Certificate-related outages have already impacted many organizations. With shorter lifespans, more frequent renewal processes increase reactive management and the likelihood of disruptions.
Is Private PKI Right for Your Certificate Management Strategy?
Not every use case requires public trust. Reduce the operational burden of shorter certificate lifecycles by shifting appropriate workloads to private PKI. This gives you greater control over certificate policies, issuance, and renewal. With a modern private PKI strategy, teams can simplify TLS certificate management for internal systems while maintaining strong governance across enterprise environments.
Own Your Certificate Strategy With Private PKI
Reduce operational complexity, strengthen security, and ensure consistent trust across your organization with Entrust PKI solutions. By moving suitable workloads to private PKI, teams can reduce reliance on public certificate requirements, improve policy control, and support certificate lifecycle management at enterprise scale. With a modern PKI foundation, you’re better prepared to adapt to changing security and compliance demands.
Automate Certificate Lifecycle Management and Regain Control
Manual certificate management isn’t sustainable in the era of increasingly short-lived certificates. Move beyond reactive management with Entrust Certificate Manager. As part of the Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform (CSP), Certificate Manager provides certificate lifecycle management solutions to help teams discover, issue, renew, deploy, and govern certificates across complex environments. Entrust CSP brings PKI, HSMs, and automated certificate management together to improve visibility, reduce certificate sprawl, support machine identity management across distributed environments, and minimize the risk of outages caused by expired certificates.

よくある質問
Why are 47-day TLS/SSL certificates changing certificate management solutions?
47-day certificates will require organizations to renew certificates far more frequently than they do today. This makes manual certificate management difficult to sustain and increases the need for certificate renewal automation and centralized certificate lifecycle management.
How can organizations prepare for 47-day certificates?
Organizations should automate certificate discovery and inventory, issuance, renewal, and governance while evaluating opportunities to use private PKI where appropriate.
How does Entrust help manage the increased volume of certificate renewals?
Entrust simplifies certificate discovery, issuance, renewal, and deployment through automated certificate lifecycle management solutions, significantly reducing manual effort. This allows organizations to scale certificate operations without increasing workload or risk as renewal frequency accelerates.
Can Entrust help reduce reliance on public certificates?
Yes. Entrust enables organizations to shift appropriate use cases to private PKI, reducing dependence on public certificate policies and lifecycles. This helps lower operational complexity while giving teams greater control over internal trust models.
How does Entrust support automation across complex environments?
Entrust integrates with cloud, DevOps, and hybrid infrastructures to automate certificate workflows end to end. This ensures consistent policy enforcement and seamless certificate management across diverse and rapidly changing environments.
How does Entrust prepare organizations for future cryptographic changes?
Entrust helps organizations build crypto-agility by centralizing control and enabling faster updates to certificates and algorithms. This positions teams to adapt to evolving standards, including post-quantum cryptography, while maintaining certificate governance, security, and compliance.
