Discover how top organizations are preparing for 47-day certificates, post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and the future of digital trust.
Sectigo and Omdia partner to deliver research insights from IT and security leaders across the globe which reveal where the industry stands and what must happen next to stay secure in a quantum-ready world.
Two seismic changes are reshaping the future of digital trust: the CA/Browser Forum’s mandate to cut SSL/TLS certificate lifespans to just 47 days by 2029, and the industry-wide shift to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2030. Individually, each change poses serious operational and security hurdles. Together, they call for nothing less than a complete rethinking of cryptographic agility. For the first time in history, the cryptography that secures global digital systems must be replaced and only the organizations that embrace crypto agility and automation will thrive.
The first deadline of these shifts is fast approaching in early 2026. Is your organization ready?
- 96% of organizations are concerned about the impact of shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans.
- 19%, less than 1 in 5 organizations feel very prepared to support the coming shift to 47-day certificate renewal cycles.
- 13% of organizations are extremely confident they are tracking all (even rogue) certificates.
- 15% of organizations feel extremely confident in their ability to integrate PQC without major disruption.
- 90% of organizations have budgets allocated to PQC preparedness initiatives within the next 12 months.
