This month, Sectigo, the strategic partner of ZoTrus Technology's international SSL certificate, released the top five ** in the field of digital security in 2024 in the blog section of its official website, and the author spent the weekend translating and interpreting these five **.
Today's interpretation of **1: Automation will change all industries.
Automation began during the Industrial Revolution with automated assembly line production, using a large number of machines to replace manual labor and reduce costs and errors. From manufacturing to service, automation has penetrated into all aspects of social life, including all kinds of automation realized by artificial intelligence. The focus of this ** is the automatic deployment of SSL certificates and the automatic implementation of HTTPS encryption, this is because the realization of HTTPS encryption is the core application of automation in all industries, and is the fundamental guarantee of data circulation security required to achieve automation, so the author directly translates the original English title as: certificate automation will subvert various industries, the following detailed interpretation of this point of view will help readers to read the Chinese translation of the following sectigo blog post.
For CA institutions, if they are still in the stage of selling SSL certificates, they will definitely be eliminated, because of the global 6More than 80% of the 500 million valid SSL certificates are automatically applied for and deployed, and users need HTTPS encryption services, not SSL certificates. The top 4 in the global SSL certificate market share ranking are not traditional CA institutions, which confirms a wise saying - it is often not your peers who really beat you, and the secret of their success is automation, so CA institutions must actively embrace certificate automation in a timely manner. However, the popularization of the application of business secret SSL certificates requires more automated solutions to help users achieve HTTPS encryption of business secrets without transformation.
For cloud service providers, if they are still in the battle of cloud hosts, they must lose everything. In the era of ubiquitous HTTPS encryption and the era of large data circulation, it is necessary to tightly integrate HTTPS encryption automation services into various cloud products and services in order to enhance its core competitiveness and win the cloud service market. This is also the secret of international cloud service manufacturers such as Google, Cloudflare, Amazon, Microsoft, etc., to win the cloud market, and at the same time successfully cross-border to become the leader in the SSL certificate market.
For provincial municipal cloud platforms, to manage thousands of ** and HTTPS encryption applications of business systems, manually applying for and deploying SSL certificates is definitely an unattainable goal, and it is impossible to achieve the goal and compliance requirements of using commercial cryptography to ensure the security of critical information infrastructure. The only solution is automatic certificate management, complete the transformation of the national cryptography https with zero transformation, and hand over the work that needs to be handled manually to the machine, which is the national cryptography https encryption automation gateway, which automatically applies for and deploys dual-algorithm SSL certificates, and automatically realizes the https encryption of adaptive encryption algorithms. Automation is the only solution for the government cloud platform to complete the transformation of commercial secrets, not one but the only one.
For the construction of smart cities, a large number of data collection and data processing processes are currently HTTP plaintext transmission, which not only makes these important data very easy to be illegally stolen in the transmission process, making a large number of sensitive data leaks, but also makes these important data very easy to be illegally tampered with in the transmission process, resulting in serious distortion of the collected data, and even the wrong data leads to the wrong results of the artificial intelligence algorithm and causes huge losses and huge security risks. Therefore, all smart city systems need to embrace automated certificate management and realize the automatic HTTPS encrypted transmission of data collection channels with zero transformation, so as to ensure the security of the transmission and circulation of various data. This is just as important for the Internet of Vehicles as it is for the Internet of Things.
For the security of the industrial Internet, at present, a large number of industrial equipment data collection and equipment control are HTTP plaintext transmission, which seriously threatens the data transmission security of the industrial Internet, that is, the security of industrial production. In the same way, only by automating all certificates and realizing HTTPS encryption for industrial data transmission can we ensure the security of industrial data collection and equipment control, ensure the security of industrial Internet, and thus ensure the security of industrial production automation.
The key to digital transformation is the interconnection of everything, the value of data lies in circulation, and the key to the security of interconnection and circulation is https encryption, which in China is https encryption. However, there is only one way to achieve HTTPS encryption, and the traditional way of manually applying for and deploying certificates has become impossible in the ubiquitous application scenario of HTTPS.
Therefore, as sectigo** said, the core of all automation is certificate automation, and the automation of https encryption can ensure the success and healthy development of other automation revolutions. Embracing the wave of certificate automation is to be at the forefront of the trend, to capture the core of automation, and to gain and maintain core competitiveness in a new era characterized by seamless automation services.

Automation will transform all industries
Certificate automation promises to mark another important milestone—transforming and redefining businesses and industries of all sizes. The proliferation of automation will boost the development of already connected digital infrastructure. We're going to see a world of seamlessly automated services.
As the New Year approaches, 2024 will be a time of change, especially in the field of automation. Automation is not only redefining enterprise-level operations, but will permeate businesses and industries of all sizes. A key player in this revolution is certificate automation, which is expected to reach its peak milestone next year.
Once confined to the domain of large enterprises, certificate automation is now pushing the boundaries of what it used to be, leaving an indelible mark on all businesses and industries. The ripple effect of the automation wave promises to intricately weave together the already connected digital infrastructure, heralding a new era characterized by seamless automated services.
The driving force behind this wave is the continuous evolution of technology. With advances in artificial intelligence, machine Xi, and data analytics, automation has become more complex and adaptable. As a result, businesses are increasingly recognizing the need to integrate automation into their operations to remain competitive in a dynamic technology and cybersecurity environment.
Perhaps the defining characteristic of automation is its ability to streamline processes and increase efficiency. Certificate automation plays a key role in not only reducing total cost of ownership, but also enforcing cryptographic compliance and preventing potential service disruptions caused by human error. Traditionally, certificate automation only managed SSL certificates, but certificate automation now covers a wider range of tasks. From authentication processes to cryptographic key management, certificate automation is becoming the cornerstone of ensuring the integrity and security of digital transactions.
The impact of automation isn't just about operational efficiency, it's reshaping business architecture. As automation becomes more accessible and essential, the once-clear lines between large and small businesses are fading. The lifespan of digital certificates is decreasing, and for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and their teams, this represents a significant change in the way they build digital trust in the future. Manual or traditional methods of certificate lifecycle management through the use of electronic** and siloed point solutions are no longer viable.
The interconnectedness of digital infrastructure is a key enabler of this automation revolution. Automation thrives in an environment where data flows seamlessly between systems, and we can expect a more connected environment by 2024. This will not only facilitate the exchange of information, but will also lay the foundation for a more collaborative and integrated approach to business operations.
2024 will be a landmark year for automation, and certificate automation will take center stage in reshaping the industry. The impact of this surge isn't just about technological advancements, but it's also marking a fundamental shift in the way businesses, large and small, operate and compete in the digital age. As we embrace automation, we're ushering in an era of efficiency, security, and collaboration that will redefine the future of the enterprise.
