In this episode about certificate agility, Jason and Tim discuss what it takes to replace any or all digital certificates across an organization rapidly and reliably. They explain why browser root programs are driving shortened certificate lifespans (down to 47 days) and deprecating public clientAuth certificates as a forcing function for automation, why public WebPKI rules exist to protect everyday internet users, and how visibility and Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) prepare enterprises for revocations, key compromises, and post-quantum transitions.
