Crittora Unveils ARC for AWS: A Game-Changer in Automated Certificate Management
Crittora, a notable AWS partner and innovator in the realm of encryption and security automation, has recently made headlines with their groundbreaking release of ARC (Automated Rotating Certificates). This solution is specifically tailored for Amazon Web Services (AWS), aiming to revolutionize how organizations manage their TLS/SSL certificates.
The Urgency Behind ARC
In an era where the lifespans of TLS/SSL certificates are rapidly decreasing—from a maximum of 398 days to as little as 10 days—this shift creates a significant burden for DevSecOps teams. The number of required rotations has surged more than fourfold, heightening the risks associated with manual management practices across enterprise environments. Recognizing this pressing need, ARC offers a straightforward one-time setup that ensures perpetual automation, compliance, and enhanced security.
Designed for the Future of Certificate Lifespan
ARC is poised to address the imminent challenges posed by upcoming standards:
- - Google's 90-day certificate mandate set for early 2026
- - Apple's 47-day TLS standard anticipated by early 2029
- - The 10-day Zero Trust best practices aimed at countering threats like quantum-era attacks
With ARC, organizations gain the ability to automatically discover endpoints and ensure continuous compliance. The solution supports various rotation schedules—be it daily, weekly, or monthly—eliminating the need for manual interactions with certificates.
