Helps organizations achieve the process
simplification and automation necessary to meet the needs of new
TLS lifecycle standards and post-quantum cryptography
Ahead of RSA Conference 2024, Venafi, the inventor of machine
identity management, today launched its new 90-Day TLS Readiness
Solution to help organizations comply with Google's proposed 90-day
TLS certificate standard, improving security posture while reducing
the risk of certificate-related interruptions.
According to a Venafi study, 83% of organizations have been hit
by certificate-related outages in the past 12 months, and 57% of
organizations have experienced security incidents involving
compromised TLS certificates. Shortening certificate lifespans will
help businesses reduce the risk of compromise.
"Google’s proposal in the CA/Browser Forum to reduce TLS
certificate lifespans to 90 days is an important step toward
increasing the web's responsiveness to emerging threats and
technological advances, including quantum computing. This
significantly decreases the risks associated with key compromises
by reducing the value of a key to the attacker,” explained Ryan
Hurst, former head of product at Google. “Moreover, embracing
automation not only enhances security but also mitigates the risk
of outages, allowing organizations to reduce operational toil and
free resources to work on more impactful tasks while supporting a
more agile and trustworthy Web PKI."
“Transitioning to the 90-day TLS certificate standard isn't just
about deploying technology—it's a comprehensive organizational
shift,” said Ryan Douglas, cybersecurity architect at FactSet.
“Venafi has been a crucial partner in equipping us for this change,
not only by automating our certificate lifecycle management with
TLS Protect but also by partnering with us to build a robust,
cross-team foundation that prevents outages and ensures continuous
compliance with the new standard. With Venafi’s support, we are
starting to prepare early for 90-Day TLS certificates to ensure our
entire organization is set up for success during this
transition.”
Venafi helps organizations implement an effective certificate
management process at both the technical and organizational level.
Powered by Venafi’s Control Plane for Machine Identities, the
Venafi 90-Day TLS Readiness Solution leverages Venafi’s TLS Protect
to proactively identify and map TLS certificates into a
comprehensive certificate inventory and renewal schedule for an
organization. By delivering full visibility and control over TLS
certificates—coupled with Venafi’s expert guidance to review
policies, align processes, and design advanced automation
workflows—this solution helps reduce the time and risk associated
with automating the entire lifecycle process. Additional details on
the new solution, including a full features list, can be found at

“Venafi’s 90-Day TLS Readiness Solution goes beyond the limited
focus on certificate discovery and visibility that we see in the
market today,” said Shivajee Samdarshi, chief product officer at
Venafi. “Our solution combines cutting-edge automation technologies
with strategic planning and support to help organizations simplify
and navigate what is an overly complex process, enabling them to
reduce outages, strengthen their overall security posture and
ensure the agility required for initiatives like post-quantum
cryptography.”
