The Countdown to 47 Days Webinar Series

This webinar series explores the operational, security, and organizational impact of rapidly shrinking TLS and SSL certificate lifetimes, moving from 200 days toward 47 days. As certificate validity periods compress, certificate lifecycle management shifts from a periodic task to a continuous, high velocity operational discipline.

The series helps PKI, infrastructure, security, and application teams understand what is changing, where traditional processes break down, and how automation, maturity modeling, and long term planning are essential to maintaining resilience in a compressed validity landscape.

Episode 1 – Mar 12 2026, 10am ET – 3pm CET
The 47 Day Deadline The Newest Issue of Keyfactor’s PKI Admin Comic

This session examines what 47 day certificate lifetimes mean in practical, operational terms. It focuses on how compressed renewal cycles eliminate margin for delay, expose manual bottlenecks, and force organizations to rethink workflows originally designed for annual renewals.

Through a candid discussion and live illustration from the PKI Admin comic artist, the webinar translates complex PKI operational pressure into visual storytelling, emphasizing readiness and machine speed automation over reactive response.

Episode 2 -April 9 2026, 10am ET – 3pm CET
Assess Your Certificate Lifecycle Management Maturity in the 200 and 47 Day Era

This webinar introduces the Certificate Lifecycle Management Maturity Model as a structured framework to evaluate organizational readiness for shortened certificate lifespans.

It explains how shrinking validity periods increase risk at every maturity level, from manual and reactive processes to fully automated, policy driven lifecycle orchestration and crypto agility. Attendees learn how to identify maturity gaps, understand risk exposure, and take practical steps toward scalable and resilient automation.

Episode 3 – April 20 2026, 10am ET – 3pm CET
The Countdown to 47 Day TLS Certificates Preparing for a Multi Year Shift

This session focuses on the phased, multi year transition toward 47 day TLS certificates, beginning with the March 15 reduction to 200 days.

It outlines the long term operational implications of recurring lifetime reductions, including increased renewal volume, higher outage risk, and greater management complexity. The webinar emphasizes proactive preparation, automation adoption, and structured transition planning so organizations experience the change as a managed evolution rather than a last minute scramble.
