The 47-day update: an expected evolution in digital security
The passage of the CA/Browser Forum ballot to reduce the maximum certificate lifespan to 47 days represents a natural and anticipated progression in the industry’s ongoing effort to enhance security and streamline certificate management. This move, while significant, is neither surprising nor disruptive to those who have been following the industry’s trajectory over the past decade. Rather, it is a continuation of a well-documented trend toward shorter certificate lifetimes - a trend that has consistently aligned with the need for improved security, agility, and automation.
