The 47-Day Certificate Challenge
Public TLS certificate lifetimes are shrinking toward 47 days, a shift that dramatically increases the volume of certificates organizations must manage and the frequency of renewals required. This webinar, hosted by Akeyless and GlobalSign, examines how security and infrastructure teams can adapt their certificate management practices to meet these new operational demands.
Machine identities, including certificates, secrets, and keys, now span cloud infrastructure, applications, APIs, containers, DevOps pipelines, and automated systems. As these environments grow more complex, manual certificate management becomes increasingly untenable. Expired or unmanaged certificates can cause service outages and create security gaps that expose organizations to risk.
Certificate Lifecycle Automation and Governance
The webinar focuses on automating certificate lifecycle management as a core strategy for handling shorter certificate validity periods. Automation reduces the manual burden on security and operations teams while minimizing the risk of certificate expiration causing unplanned downtime.
Beyond automation, the session addresses visibility and governance challenges. Organizations often lack a complete inventory of their machine identities, making it difficult to track certificate status, ownership, and renewal schedules across distributed environments. Improved governance helps teams maintain control over their certificate estate and respond quickly when issues arise.
Cloud, Hybrid, and DevOps Considerations
Modern infrastructure spans multiple cloud providers, on-premises systems, and containerized workloads. DevOps pipelines introduce additional complexity, with certificates required for secure communication between services, build systems, and deployment targets. The webinar explores how organizations can implement certificate management practices that work across these diverse environments without slowing development velocity.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is intended for IT security professionals, DevOps engineers, cloud architects, infrastructure managers, and product leaders working in organizations with significant cloud, hybrid, or DevOps operations. The content is most relevant to mid-to-large enterprises managing substantial certificate volumes across complex infrastructure.
