As you probably know, Let\u2019s Encrypt is a non-profit open certificate authority run by the Internet Research Group (ISRG) that provides X.509 certificates for TLS encryption at no charge.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s Encrypt makes certificates free and easy but comes with the inconvenience of only being valid for 90 days. This means they require more frequent maintenance than other certificates, which often have a duration of 12, 24, or 36 months. Fortunately, Sophos ZTNA helps overcome this issue with support for auto-renewal 30 days prior to expiry.<\/p>\n<p>You can take advantage of this with your existing gateways anytime, regardless of your deployment mode (cloud or on-premises).<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techvids.sophos.com\/share\/watch\/s7ijMp5qrjAP8usfHrtqQm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the Demo Video<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8795 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-domains-certificates.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1309\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-domains-certificates.png 1309w, https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-domains-certificates.png?resize=300,149 300w, https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-domains-certificates.png?resize=768,381 768w, https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-domains-certificates.png?resize=1024,508 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1309px) 100vw, 1309px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8815 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-gateway-details-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"936\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-gateway-details-2.png 936w, https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-gateway-details-2.png?resize=300,118 300w, https:\/\/partnernews.sophos.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/ztna-gateway-details-2.png?resize=768,303 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Added Sophos Central Regions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sophos ZTNA central management is now supported beyond the standard US and EU regions adding five new regions:\u00a0 Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, and Canada.
