DigiCert reported a 38 percent revenue increase in its certificate management business as large enterprises shift toward automated infrastructure. This growth coincides with upcoming industry changes that will shorten TLS certificate validity periods.
Why it matters
Automated renewal processes have become necessary for enterprises to maintain infrastructure reliability as certificate lifespans contract. Companies managing high volumes of digital credentials must now adopt these systems to avoid service disruptions.
DigiCert posted 38 percent revenue growth in its certificate management division. The shift supports large-scale operations like the Switzerland-based MediData system, which processes 120 million documents annually across its 24,000-member network.
The players
DigiCert
A global provider of digital security certificates and identity management solutions for large enterprises.
MediData
A healthcare-focused network operating out of Switzerland that facilitates document exchange for 24,000 participants.
The details
Enterprises managing more than 100,000 certificates are increasingly relying on tools like Trust Lifecycle Manager to handle automated renewals. This platform uses continuous validation to automate domain control checks and Apple Device Attestation to verify hardware identity before issuance. These automated pipelines are designed to mitigate the operational burden of managing certificates as the industry shifts toward shorter expiration cycles.
Timeline
2029: TLS certificate validity periods reach a maximum of 47 days.
Market Landscape
The move toward shorter certificate validity creates an urgent compliance baseline for security infrastructure management. This operational transition is currently forcing large organizations to move away from manual renewal processes to maintain uptime.
Business operators with large certificate inventories should review their renewal cycles before the 2029 shift to 47-day validity. Automating these workflows now is necessary to prevent potential service outages caused by expired digital credentials.
The takeaway
The industry is trending toward significantly shorter certificate lifespans that make manual management unsustainable for high-volume users. Evaluate your current certificate volume to determine if you need to implement automated validation and renewal tools before the 2029 deadline.
