The CA/Browser Forum has voted to significantly reduce the maximum lifespan of new SSL/TLS certificates to just 47 days by March 15, 2029. This decision, which received unanimous support from major tech companies, aims to limit the potential damage from compromised certificates. Currently, certificates last up to 398 days, but shorter renewal periods would minimize the time stolen certificates can be abused. The move aligns with Apple's earlier proposal and seeks to bolster digital security and agility in the face of evolving cybersecurity threats.
The industry's unified support for reducing certificate lifespans to 47 days reflects a shared commitment to enhancing digital security and trust for all.
This pivotal and positive advancement for our industry underscores the importance of agility and proactive risk management in today's threat landscape.
