Preparing for the future: Apple’s 45-Day certificate lifespan proposal
The digital certificate lifecycle is undergoing significant changes, with a push towards shorter validity periods for SSL/TLS certificates. Currently, the lifespan of certificates is about 398 days, but companies like Google and Apple are advocating for much shorter terms, with Apple proposing to reduce lifespans to just 45 days by 2027. This shift aims to enhance security by limiting the time a compromised key can be exploited, but it poses challenges for IT teams accustomed to longer renewal periods. Organizations must prepare for this transition by adopting automated certificate management solutions to manage the increased administrative burden effectively.
