SSL certificates are crucial for encrypting traffic between systems and protecting sensitive information.
The SSL Certificate Best Practices Policy outlines guidelines for certificate issuance, management, renewal, and revocation.
Key recommendations include using trusted internal and external certificate authorities, configuring SSL certificates for all applicable processes, and ensuring two-year expiration dates and minimum 2048-bit encryption.
Automated enrollment and renewal, along with careful private key configuration, are also suggested for efficient certificate deployment.
