IT bosses are confident they’ve found the certificates they don’t know about

A Sectigo survey of 500 senior IT and security leaders found that 40% believe they are well-prepared for monthly TLS certificate renewals, yet only 4% reported having automated certificate management systems in place. The discrepancy suggests a significant gap between perceived and actual readiness, with 61% of respondents having experienced certificate-related outages or incidents within the past year.

Why it matters: IT and security teams managing TLS certificates risk unexpected service disruptions if they overestimate automation maturity; practitioners should audit actual certificate lifecycle processes and deployment to close the gap between confidence and capability.
