[{"type":"text","content":"Certificate lifecycle automation prevents outages and accelerates post-quantum readinessSANTA CLARA, Calif., March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today defined a new standard for operational resilience with the launch of Next-Generation Trust Security (NGTS). As the industry moves toward a mandatory 47-day certificate renewal cycle, NGTS transforms cryptographic trust from a manual, human error prone process to an automated network control, eliminating service outages and dramatically improving operational efficiency.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nFor decades, digital certificates - the \"passports\" of the digital economy - lasted years and changed rarely. Today, however, the enterprise has entered a period of continuous cryptographic reset: certificate lifetimes are shrinking by over 90%, encryption standards are shifting for a post-quantum world, and sudden decertification of global trust authorities can now force the immediate replacement of thousands of certificates.Anand Oswal, Executive Vice President of AI & Network Security, Palo Alto Networks\"When digital trust breaks, the business stops. Expired or non-compliant certificates trigger outages that take business-critical applications, infrastructure, and cloud services offline. Managing updates manually takes considerable time and coordination across several teams, and with increased scale and speed requirements, a manual approach is no longer viable. With NGTS, and our quantum-safe security solution, the network becomes the ultimate control point to automate the cryptographic reset.\"NGTS is the industry's first network-native platform that unifies certificate lifecycle management (CLM) with real-time network visibility and enforcement. Available today, this unified defense enables businesses to:Gain Increased Visibility: Discover where trust lives across all network services and applications, eliminating the \"shadow\" certificates and blind spots that lead to security gaps.Facilitate Operational Resilience: Protect the business from certificate-related outages and trust failures by automatically identifying and refreshing credentials before they disrupt customer transactions or internal services.Build Cryptographic Agility: Accelerate the transition to a post-quantum future with automated lifecycle management buil...
