GlobalSign Warns of Certificate Management Challenges for Small and Mid-Sized Businesses

John Murray, Senior Vice President of Sales at GlobalSign, stated that certificate validity periods are shrinking, requiring companies to rotate certificates more frequently than before. Small and mid-sized businesses are particularly vulnerable due to smaller teams, generalist staff, and reliance on manual processes, which may not scale with increased rotation demands. The discussion was presented in a video featured at RSAC 2026, highlighting challenges in certificate lifecycle management. No specific technical details, numbers, or dates beyond the event reference were provided. The impact centers on operational strain for organizations unable to automate certificate management.
