The Importance of Certificate Lifecycle Management in a Public Key Infrastructure

If your company has a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), you understand the importance of secure, trusted communication between devices and systems. A key part of maintaining this security is effective management of the certificates that make these communications possible. This is where Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) comes into play.

CLM oversees the entire lifecycle of PKI certificates—from issuance to renewal or revocation. It automates tasks such as renewing certificates before they expire, revoking compromised ones, and issuing new certificates to devices and systems as needed.

Implementing a CLM system can save your company time and resources by automating these often time-consuming tasks. It also ensures your PKI remains secure and compliant by monitoring all certificates and alerting you to potential issues.

Beyond efficiency and security, CLM can enhance the experience for employees and customers who rely on your PKI for secure communication by streamlining the certificate management process.
