As TLS/SSL certificate validity periods continue to decrease — from 398 days today to only 47 days by 2029 — organizations are facing a growing operational burden in managing certificate lifecycles across increasingly complex IT environments. What was once a periodic administrative task is becoming a continuous operational process that requires significantly more oversight, automation, and coordination.
This industry-wide transition has drawn media attention to ASEE’s Certiligent platform, introduced as a centralized solution for monitoring and automating TLS/SSL certificate lifecycle management.
TLS/SSL certificates remain a critical part of digital security infrastructure, enabling encrypted communication, protecting sensitive information, and validating the identity of online services. When certificates expire unexpectedly, organizations risk service interruptions, browser security warnings, operational downtime, and reputational damage.
The reduction in certificate validity periods significantly increases the number of required renewals each year, placing additional pressure on IT and security teams. Organizations operating large-scale digital infrastructures — especially banks, financial institutions, healthcare systems, e-commerce providers, and enterprise environments — are expected to face the greatest operational impact.
“What used to be an annual administrative task is becoming a continuous operational challenge. Instead of one renewal per year, we are now talking about up to eight renewals per certificate. If an organization manages hundreds of certificates, this is no longer a side responsibility — it practically requires a dedicated employee to handle it.” — Robert Preskar, Director of Product and Solution Development for Security and Card Business, ASEE Croatia.
Certiligent provides organizations with centralized certificate visibility, continuous 24/7 monitoring, automated renewal and replacement workflows, flexible policy management, and proactive expiration alerts. The platform supports multiple certificate authorities and adapts to different IT environments, helping organizations reduce operational complexity while minimizing the risk of certificate-related incidents.
By automating certificate lifecycle management, organizations can reduce manual workload, improve scalability, minimize emergency interventions, and strengthen the resilience and availability of their digital services.
ASEE has decades of experience in cybersecurity and digital infrastructure solutions, with technologies implemented across financial institutions, public sector organizations, and enterprise systems in 24 countries worldwide.
