Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) is important in today’s digital world because digital certificates are used to secure users, devices, and systems. As organizations grow, the number of certificates increases. This makes it harder for IT teams to deploy, track, renew, and manage them—especially in companies with multiple departments, global operations, remote workers, and many physical or virtual servers. Without proper management, expired certificates can cause system downtime, security risks, and compliance issues. CLM helps organizations stay organized, secure, and in control of their certificates.
