GNW-Adhoc: Sectigo is attending RSAC 2023 to prepare the IT community for 90 days of TLS runtime

^ROSELAND, NJ, April 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sectigo(®), a global

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

Building digital trust against the backdrop of the shortening

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

(https://sectigo.com/resource-library/be-prepared-for-one-year-ssl-certificate-

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

Term for a public TLS certificate from three years to two to one

year dropped. Google recently announced in its roadmap?Moving Forward,

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

increasing number of short-lived certificates, as well
