GlobalSign, a leading Certificate Authority, has introduced its latest certificate lifecycle management (CLM) solution, LifeCycleX. This innovative tool is designed to help businesses streamline and secure their digital certificate operations, reducing potential security risks.
LifeCycleX serves as a centralized system that enables companies to consolidate and manage their digital certificates from various sources, including Public, Microsoft, and EJBCA Open Source CAs. It simplifies certificate management in multiple environments, offering features for issuance, discovery, renewal, and deactivation to prevent downtime due to expired or failing certificates.
With the decreasing lifespan of TLS certificates, manual management is becoming more challenging. Devan Rice, product manager at GlobalSign, emphasizes the importance of automation in addressing these concerns. LifeCycleX automates certificate discovery, inventory maintenance, renewal enforcement, provisioning, and reporting, providing IT and security teams with the visibility and intelligence needed to stay compliant and secure.
In addition to SSL/TLS certificates, GlobalSign offers a range of certificates for authenticating users, machines, emails, and client-side applications. The company also helps organizations manage IoT device identity verification and issues services under local legal frameworks like eIDAS in the EU and the UK.
Expired certificates can lead to system outages and security breaches, as seen in the Equifax incident of 2017. To prevent such incidents, LifeCycleX offers a comprehensive solution for managing digital certificates effectively, ensuring visibility into machine identities to enhance security and compliance.
