If your team is still juggling spreadsheets, tracking expiration dates manually, or relying on scattered tools to manage digital certificates, it's time to rethink your approach. As certificate requirements grow more complex and critical, manual methods are no longer sustainable. GlobalSign's LifeCycleX by GMO was built with this reality in mind.
Why Certificate Management Needs to Change
Organizations today deal with sprawling IT environments. Between remote work, cloud adoption, and stricter security requirements, digital certificates are everywhere. When managed poorly, expired or misconfigured certificates can lead to outages, compliance failures, or security breaches. This is where LifeCycleX by GMO comes in offering a centralized platform that brings order to the chaos.
Why This Matters More Than Ever: The 47 Day Validity Challenge
Managing certificates has always been important, but it's about to become even more urgent. By 2029, public SSL/TLS certificates will have their maximum validity reduced to just 47 days. This change, driven by industry and browser requirements, means organizations will face far more frequent renewals and tighter compliance demands.
Manual tracking or basic management tools won't keep up. Expired certificates could quickly become a common cause of outages and security incidents.
LifeCycleX by GMO is built for this future. With automation, policy enforcement, and detailed visibility across both public and private certificates, it ensures your organization can handle shorter validity periods without adding complexity or risking downtime.
From Risk to Resilience
The risks of unmanaged certificates are real. Outages can cost time, money, and reputational damage. Non-compliance with security standards can introduce legal and audit issues. LifeCycleX by GMO helps eliminate these risks by giving teams complete visibility and control.
Whether you're managing hundreds or hundreds of thousands of certificates, LifeCycleX by GMO is designed to scale without adding complexity. It automates repetitive tasks, enforces policies, and keeps your organization secure so your team can focus on what matters instead of chasing expiration dates.
