ACME protocol enables automated TLS certificate management

The Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol is an internet standard designed to automate the process of issuing and renewing TLS certificates. By coordinating interactions between a certificate authority (CA) and a server operator, the protocol allows for automated domain-control challenges, reducing the need for manual requests and preventing downtime caused by expired certificates.

Sectigo offers a Certificate-as-a-Service (CaaS) model utilizing the ACME protocol to provide domain-validated (DV) SSL certificates. This service is designed for infrastructure teams to manage issuance and 90-day renewals automatically, supporting multi-domain and wildcard configurations without manual intervention.
