Managing SSL/TLS certificates is a critical yet complex task for any organization. Certificates ensure secure communication between users and your web applications, but maintaining them involves constant vigilance and expertise. From monitoring expiration dates to renewing and deploying new certificates, the burden of certificate management can overwhelm your IT teams. If your certificate goes unrenewed, your app can experience security warnings, loss of user trust, and potential downtime.

The Challenge of Certificate Management

Keeping track of certificates for hundreds of domains is a complex and demanding task. The recent announcement from Google regarding Entrust has added another layer of complexity to this challenge. Google’s recent announcement to stop trusting certificates issued by Entrust, effective November 1st, is a perfect example. This change means that any site using an Entrust certificate will trigger security warnings for Chrome users, significantly impacting user experience and trust. Such industry shifts demand immediate and expert response to ensure uninterrupted service and security for your websites.
