leader in automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM)
and Digital Certificates, announced today that it will be at the RSA Conference
(RSAC) 2023 in San Francisco, California as a sponsor and speaker
will occur. Sectigo executives will emphasize the importance of

Discuss the lifespan of digital certificates and quantum computing.
At the RSAC, which takes place from April 24th to 27th, the
most influential thought leaders in cybersecurity across current and
discuss future trends to empower businesses around the world,
defend against cyber threats. Sectigo, a Silver Sponsor of
RSAC (Stand 1327), runs the CA independent automation functions of
Sectigo Certificate Manager, the industry’s most robust platform for
Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM). Given the recent news
about the forthcoming shortening of the maximum term of SSL certificates
on 90 days, IT professionals around the world are wondering what the impact of this will be
change will have on their professional life. CLM is an indispensable
part of that reaction.
?The trend towards shortening the lifespan of certificates was recognized by Sectigo

duration) already predicted in 2019. In recent years, the maximum

announced the intention to limit the maximum possible lifetime for public TLS
Reduce certificates from 398 days to just 90 days. With entry into
a new era of shorter certificate lifetimes and quantum computing
the need for automation of certificate processing is enormously high”,
said Tim Callan, Sectigo’s Chief Experience Officer.
Callan continued,?Sectigo recognizes that businesses of all sizes use this
are struggling with the growing number of digital certificates in their ecosystem
to reconcile. Many still use a manual approach to
managing the lifecycle of certificates. Our most recent study found
that 47%(1) of companies reported spreadsheets, scripts or from CA
provided tools for managing digital certificate lifecycles
use. As security boundaries continue to expand and the
Certificate lifetimes are getting shorter and shorter, this manual approach leads to
the management of digital certificates to a higher workload of the IT
teams and makes it difficult to gain insight into all digital identities. This entails
ultimately the risk of failure or exploitation.”
The Sectigo team will be demonstrating hourly demos at RSAC 2023 to showcase the
