most organizations don’t actually know how many keys and certificates they have. Known certificates<br />
account for a small percentage of an organization’s overall inventory. As a result, unknown or rogue<br />
certificates create significant exposure to unexpected outages and downtime.<br />
Reason #5: Spreadsheets are a time-suck<br />
Organizations who have roughly 100 or more X.509 certificates and use manual processes typically need<br />
a full-time, dedicated resource to manage certificates within their business. In most organizations<br />
responsibility is juggled between several team members. This isn’t only a time-suck, it’s a budget drain,<br />
too - the reality is that IT and security resources are already spread thin. InfoSec teams juggle multiple<br />
responsibilities at any given time, which creates more room for error and oversight when it comes to<br />
certificate management.<br />
If you’re starting to reconsider the way you manage your digital certificates, consider these criteria:<br />
● Scale – do you have more than 100 digital certificates?<br />
● Complexity - do you use multiple certificate authorities (CAs), network devices and cloud<br />
platforms?<br />
● Resources – does your staff spend too much time on certificate-related tasks rather than IT<br />
priorities?<br />
● Outages – have you experienced certificate-related outages over the last two years?<br />
If you answered yes to any one of these criteria, you may want to consider certificate lifecycle automation<br />
to lessen the burden on your in-house team. An automated platform not only streamlines your certificate<br />
management process, it also monitors and reports on certificate status for compliance, saves time and<br />
mitigates security risks posed by manual processes. And with the number of choices available,<br />
onboarding an automated platform is a lot easier than managing your digital certificate spreadsheets.<br />
