TLS/SSL Certificate Lifecycle Management

Effortlessly manage the complete lifecycle of your TLS/SSL certificates — from discovery and deployment to renewal and compliance monitoring — all from one centralized CLM hub. Imagine TLS/SSL Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) with ease, flexibility and in control.

Gain full visibility and control over your digital infrastructure, prevent service disruptions with automated renewals, and enhance security to protect against vulnerabilities and cyber threats. Strengthen trust and secure communications with up-to-date, robust encryption protocols. With the KeyTalk CKMS solution automating and managing TLS/SSL certificates at scale become a breeze.

By automating TLS/SSL Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) with the KeyTalk CKMS, you can prevent risks associated with human management errors and save a significant amount of time and resources related to CLM. 

The explicit desire of Google to reduce the lifespan of TLS/SSL certificates to a maximum of 47 days by 2029 makes automating CLM essential.

The importance of securing websites and applications cannot be emphasized enough, and TLS/SSL certificates play a crucial role in this. Large organizations often have hundreds to thousands of such certificates. This includes different types of certificates, on different types of servers and applications, managed by different team members, sometimes in different network domains, with varying expiration dates, and obtained from different CAs. The result is a complex, error-prone, and time-consuming management process.

Certificate Lifecycle Management systems (CLM) like the KeyTalk CKMS offer various advantages to organizations in managing TLS/SSL certificates, including:

  • Improved security: TLS/SSL certificates are a vital part of web application and website security. With CLM, organizations can better manage the certificate lifecycle and ensure that the certificates are up-to-date and not expired.
  • Reduced downtime: CLM can help reduce website downtime by ensuring timely renewal of certificates and avoiding interruptions in the certificate chain. This is particularly important for organizations relying on e-commerce and other web-based transactions.
  • Cost savings: CLM can also provide cost savings for organizations. By automating certificate management, the number of human errors and associated costs can be reduced. Additionally, organizations can lower their certificate expenses by avoiding unnecessary certificate purchases and working more efficiently with existing certificates.
  • Compliance: TLS/SSL certificates are often required for regulatory compliance and certifications such as PCI-DSS and ISO 27001. CLM systems assist in certificate management and provide reporting and auditing capabilities, enabling organizations to meet these requirements more effectively.
  • Reliability: CLM systems can help prevent unexpected server failures due to expired or invalid certificates. This ensures greater reliability for the systems and applications that rely on these certificates.

    Although we were one of the first customers to choose the combined S/MIME Management and Automation Service from GlobalSign & KeyTalk and we had to overcome some initial hurdles, we got fantastic support from the KeyTalk team and the service is working perfectly now. I would absolutely recommend their S/MIME Management and Automation Service to any company that needs easy-to-use end-to-end secure email communication. — Matteo Snidero, Head of IT @ Finance in Motion
