TLS certificate lifespans are shrinking—from 398 to 200, 100, and soon 47 days—creating an exponential surge in renewal volumes by 2029. Manual certificate management is no longer sustainable. Automation is now an operational necessity, not a luxury, for organizations that want to avoid outages, compliance gaps, and audit headaches. This article outlines a practical, outcome-focused approach to certificate automation, integrating PKI with PAM and IAM controls for resilient, audit-ready operations.
The Certificate Authority/Browser (CA/B) Forum’s phased reductions mean renewal volumes will multiply—2× in 2026, 4× in 2027–28, and 8× by 2029. Manual workflows will break under this load, exposing organizations to service outages, security risks, and audit failures. The shift from “nice-to-have” to “must-have” automation is clear: only automated, integrated certificate management can keep pace with the new reality.
PKI (machine trust) and PAM (human privilege) are converging disciplines. Integrating certificate lifecycle management with PAM/IAM change control prevents application outages and audit churn, especially as renewal cadence accelerates. Modern identity teams must own both sides of the equation, ensuring that automation is embedded, actionable, and outcome-driven.
“Don’t panic—plan. Build to 95%+ automation coverage and close the long tail iteratively.” — Nick Curcuru, Product Marketing Director, CyberArk
Traditional advisory often meant lengthy assessments and static recommendations. Today, organizations need advisory that is embedded, actionable, and outcome-driven, not just a report, but a partnership that accelerates change and delivers measurable results.
MajorKey's practice areas map directly to your automation journey: discovery & onboarding, credential management, session launching & recording, threat detection, and audit/reporting—with maturity models to guide sequencing.
Don’t let manual processes put your business at risk. Take the next step:
TLS certificate lifespans are shrinking, causing renewal volumes to surge. Manual management can’t keep up, risking outages and audit failures. Automation is essential for operational resilience.
It prevents application outages and audit churn, especially as renewal cadence accelerates. Modern identity teams must own both machine and human identity controls.
