This means they require more frequent maintenance than other certificates, which often have a duration of 12, 24, or 36 months.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-959230 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image2.png\" alt=\"Lets Encrypt\" width=\"1333\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image2.png 1333w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image2.png?resize=300,149 300w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image2.png?resize=768,381 768w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image2.png?resize=1024,509 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Sophos ZTNA helps overcome this issue with support for auto-renewal 30 days prior to expiry.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-959231 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image3.png\" alt=\"Lets Encrypt\" width=\"2944\" height=\"1162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image3.png 2944w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image3.png?resize=300,118 300w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image3.png?resize=768,303 768w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image3.png?resize=1024,404 1024w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image3.png?resize=1536,606 1536w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image3.png?resize=2048,808 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2944px) 100vw, 2944px\" \/><\/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><a href=\"https:\/\/techvids.sophos.com\/share\/watch\/s7ijMp5qrjAP8usfHrtqQm\">Watch the demo video<\/a>.<\/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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-959232 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image4.jpg\" alt=\"Regions\" width=\"670\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image4.jpg 670w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image4.jpg?resize=300,161 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you currently manage your Sophos Firewall and\/or Endpoints in one of these regions you can now easily add Sophos ZTNA to your account.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get started with ZTNA for free<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not already using <a href=\"https:\/\/sophos.com\/ztna\">Sophos ZTNA<\/a>, you can get started for free.
