Automate Certificate Life Cycle Management: ManageEngine Key Manager Plus | SourceForge Podcast #141

ManageEngine Key Manager Plus is an end-to-end certificate and key management platform that helps enterprises automate SSL/TLS certificate lifecycles, SSH key management, discovery, renewal, deployment, and monitoring from one centralized interface. With built-in machine identity management, vulnerability protection, key vaulting, integrations, and automated workflows, it helps organizations reduce security risks, prevent certificate outages, and simplify management at scale. This episode breaks down the browser industry’s move to shorten public TLS certificate lifespans from 398 days to 47 days by 2029, and why that shift matters right now. We speak with Kumar Ramakrishnan, Director of Marketing for the ITSM and Privileged Access Management Suite at ManageEngine, to explain the timeline, the operational risks, and what certificate lifecycle automation actually needs to cover. We discuss how the change affects organizations of every size, why manual renewal processes are going to fail at scale, and how teams should start with discovery before choosing tools. Kumar also shares how ManageEngine’s Key Manager Plus helps automate certificate discovery, renewal, deployment, and post-deployment actions across hybrid environments.
