Episode notes
Certificate Lifetimes Are Shrinking Fast
- Certificate lifetimes are rapidly shrinking from ~398 days to a target of 47 days by 2029.
- Rich Campagna warns this creates operational risk because manual renewal processes will cause outages unless automated.
Automate Certificate Management With NGTS
- Automate certificate discovery and renewal using NGTS to avoid outages.
- Rich Campagna explains NGTS combines network visibility from Palo Alto firewalls/SASE with automated lifecycle management to find unmanaged certificates and remediate them.
Enable NGTS On Existing Palo Alto Sensors
- Turn on NGTS if you already use Palo Alto firewalls or SASE for immediate visibility.
- Rich Campagna says sensors are existing network products and the certificate management service is cloud-based with on-prem options.
