5 Reasons To Create A Certificate Lifecycle Management Policy For The New Year
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, December 17th, 2024
Are you in the market for a good New Year's resolution? You won't find a more rewarding one (at least for your company) than to create and implement a certificate lifecycle management (CLM) policy. Among the key components of a CLM are inventory and tracking, renewal and reissue, revocation, auditing and monitoring, and incident response.
Why Should You Implement a CLM?
Here are Five Great Reasons for You to Do So:
1. Enhanced Enterprise Security
A CLM policy strengthens your security by keeping your PKI assets at peak performance. Your certificates are regularly renewed, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data and communications. Outages are far less likely, especially from expired certificates, the most common cause of PKI-related outages. In addition to the security benefits, this improves operational efficiency.
