Snapt, Inc., the disruptive application
delivery controller (ADC) company, today announced Let's Encrypt for the
software-only Snapt ADC. The addition of the Let's Encrypt plugin allows free,
automated SSL certificates for websites enabling significant cost and time-savings
for users. With the Let's Encrypt functionality, Snapt is helping to ensure
their users are able to secure their websites easily and
effectively.
"Automatic Let's Encrypt certificates make admin life so
much easier, and, critically, prevent any user interaction errors or delays
with certificates that are expired," said Dave Blakey, CEO of Snapt. "Expired
certificates end up costing companies money as they often lead to a decrease in
customers who trust that their online data is encrypted and secure. By
leveraging Let's Encrypt's capabilities, Snapt allows for both cost and
resource saving efforts when it comes to updating and maintaining current SSL
certificates."
Streamlining SSL Certificate Management to Protect Web
Applications
The management of SSL certificates is time consuming and
subject to error as an organization can require the use of hundreds or even
thousands of SSL certificates. The cost of purchasing each certificate can
quickly add up, and if a certificate is missed, mishandled or not renewed on
time, major errors in website security of encrypted information can occur.
Automating SSL certificate renewal processes can improve upon the manual entry
of these updates significantly, reducing the overall cost and time it takes to
manually purchase, deploy and renew them. And, unlike other certificate
authorities, with Let's Encrypt, there is no cost to obtain or renew a
certificate.
Snapt with Let's Encrypt will allow users to:
- Automate the ability to obtain, renew and deploy SSL
certificates for free;
- Seamlessly scale by issuing unlimited numbers of
certificates to support any number of web applications; and,
- Script and automate the creation and deployment of
new sites
"In terms of security, without Let's Encrypt, users will
assume your site is compromised or that they've landed on an impersonator's
site," said Daniel Alfonso, Director of IT, Digital Target Marketing. "They
then might be more susceptible to actual impersonation attempts because the
scammer remembered to renew their certificate."
