Manual Certificate Management Falling Way Behind PKI Growth

Share post:

Organizations now manage more than 50,000 certificates, indicating the existence of new management challenges that many companies are struggling with.

The survey found that while some organizations have more than 1,200 unmanaged certificates, 47% of respondents also report discovering certificates ordered outside the IT process, which are often neglected and not properly managed.
