With certificate lifetimes shrinking, and domain control validation (DCV) reuse periods being cut dramatically, organizations will face a sharp increase in frequency of required secure sockets layer (SSL) certificate renewal. Manual SSL tracking is no longer sustainable, digital certificate automation and enterprise-class SSL management are becoming the only viable paths forward.

Get the full report to see how organizations across industries are responding to these market developments and major cybersecurity trends. Leading IT teams are prioritizing stronger certificate life cycle management and automation to stay ahead.

Domain security continues to be a significant area of risk for some companies, and the upcoming changes to SSL certificate life cycles and domain control validation reuse periods will shine a spotlight on how effectively companies are managing their domains.

Between the SSL industry changes accelerating required renewal frequency, and cybercriminals’ increasing use of domain validation (DV) certificates to launch fraudulent websites, organizations cannot afford to rely on manual SSL tracking or delay implementing a strategic response.

Key findings

74% of SSL certificates issued are DV certificates, the easiest certificate to obtain for both legitimate users and malicious actors

60% of organizations use three or more certificate providers (more than 25% use five or more providers)

The providers that supply 89% of DV certificates do not offer the enterprise-class support required to prepare companies for upcoming SSL industry changes
