47-day certificates lifespan mandate: How we can help

The CA/Browser forum has voted to amend the TLS Baseline Requirements, setting a schedule for shortening both the lifetime of TLS certificates and the reusability of CA-validated information in certificates. The new certificate validity lifespan is 47 days by March 15, 2029. This change requires organizations to prioritize automation of certificate lifecycle management processes to ensure operational uptime, availability, and better security. HashiCorp Vault can help mitigate these risks by automating the entire process, reducing the risk of outages and manual errors. It offers a central source of truth, automatic certificate generation, and automatic certificate renewals, taking the complexity out of managing internal certificates while ensuring adequate security and operational scale. By adopting Vault, enterprises can address this new challenge with ease and renewed confidence.
