Digital transformation has led to an explosion of machines—all of which must be authenticated and secured. That’s where machine identities come in.
Machine identities, like TLS certificates, help maintain secure connections and communications across mobile devices, cloud instances, websites, online apps and services, APIs and SDKs, containers and more. But managing machine identities, especially in such distributed environments, has become immensely complex.
Read this white paper to learn about the most common challenges in managing TLS certificates, NIST recommendations for mitigation and more.
What you’ll learn:
- The most common challenges associated with managing enterprise TLS certificates
- Why certificate-outages are an indicator of systemic problems and risks
- Summarized guidance from NIST SP 1800-16—including the 5 steps you must follow to ensure compliance
- Illustrations of manual and automated certificate management approaches, and why automation is the only way forward as certificate lifespans get shorter
- How you can easily start building your own NIST-compliant certificate management program today
