  impact: |
    An SSL certificate with a validity period exceeding 398 days poses a higher risk of compromise and misuse. It also fails to comply with industry standards, potentially leading to incompatibilities or security warnings in web browsers.
  remediation: |
    Review and adjust the renewal configurations for SSL certificates to ensure their validity periods do not exceed 398 days.
