Certificate validity periods are getting shorter — is your team ready to keep up with the new demands? Two options for managing shorter certificates…
There’s no way around it — certificate lifespans are getting significantly shorter:
- Validity periods for SSL/TLS certificates will be nearly halved from 398 days to 200 days before March 15, 2026. This move is coming slightly sooner than expected, with some certification authorities
(CAs) implementing their shifts to 200-day validity as soon as Feb. 24.
- Validation data reuse periods will also be reduced. Certification authorities will have to re-verify your information significantly more frequently.
Just to be clear, this does NOT mean that you’ll need to purchase twice as many SSL certificates — you’ll just need to reissue (which is free) and reinstall your SSL certificate twice as often.
Here’s what you need to know about the coming changes, and what new SSL certificate automation tools we’re rolling out to help you.
Let’s hash it out.
