Commercial Certificate Authority (CA) Sectigo, a provider of purpose-built and automated PKI management solutions, is sponsoring Electronic Frontier Foundation’s (EFF) free, open-source software tool, Certbot.
Required certificate lifetimes are being reduced by browsers, and all entities on the web are confronted with the problem of certificate expiration.
The industry benefits from a collaborative, open standard environment that enables everyone to move more quickly to secure the internet.
EFF and Sectigo’s open standard collaboration enables certificate issuance and renewal automation beyond Domain Validated (DV) certificates and extends to both Organisational Validated (OV) certificates and Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates, which are the foundation for not only encrypting communication, but also authentication of a website’s legal owners.
In addition, the Sectigo solution integrates a central certificate management portal that many customers find beneficial as they can track and monitor their certificates to be compliant to their IT policies.
“We are pleased to work with Sectigo to advance the functionality of our Certbot tool,” said Max Hunter, engineering director, EFF.
“Collaborating with an industry leader like Sectigo has helped to amplify EFF’s ability to address emerging web-based threats.
Sectigo’s support and sponsorship play an important role in EFF’s ability to make the internet safer by extending our capabilities for digital certificate renewal automation.”
Sectigo’s collaboration with EFF expands on the company’s commitment to advancing the cybersecurity industry.
