Snapt Adds Let’s Encrypt Functionality to the Snapt Application Delivery Controller
New plugin delivers significant time and IT cost savings by
automating the management and renewal of SSL certificates
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/ADC?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#ADClt;/agt;–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.”
