Security News > 2024 > April > How Google’s 90-day TLS certificate validity proposal will affect enterprises

Announced last year, Google's proposal to reduce the lifespan of TLS certificates from 13 months to 90 days could be implemented in the near future.

As a result, the new 90-day TLS certificate lifespan proposed by Google will have far-reaching impacts on three areas of corporate IT: DevOps, security and operations.

If a TLS certificate expires, a critical internet application could become unavailable and untrusted.

The new 90-day TLS certificate lifespan will effectively quadruple their workload, as certificates will need to be renewed and deployed four times a year instead of just once.

Create cross-functional teams including representatives from DevOps, security and operations to ensure a common understanding of Google's 90-day TLS certificate lifespan proposal and its implications.

By forcing the more frequent renewal of TLS certificates the Google 90-day proposal will help organizations reduce their exposure to exploits and improve overall security posture.
