When outages hit, and teams scramble to trace the expired or misconfigured certificate that brought the system down this time—the default response is often, “We need automation.” But automation alone doesn’t fix the root problem. It’s not a strategy—it’s just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Modernizing PKI and ... Read More

If renewing TLS certificates already feels like a recurring chore, it’s about to become a full-time job. Welcome to the world of 47-day certificates. With the CA/B Forum approving Apple’s proposal to reduce public TLS certificate lifespans from 398 days to just 47 days by 2029, organizations are staring at ... Read More

On June 23, 2025, The EU released a new PQC implementation roadmap with clear steps and timelines for all Member States, laying the groundwork for a smooth and coordinated transition to post-quantum cryptography. Imagine knowing a storm is coming but not precisely when, how strong, or where it will hit ... Read More

Today’s financial systems are highly digital and deeply interconnected. That’s great until something breaks. Whether it’s ransomware paralyzing critical services or cryptographic vulnerabilities quietly eroding trust, disruptions are no longer rare—they’re systemic. The Modern Heist Bank Report 2025 shows just how serious it’s become: 64% of surveyed financial institutions reported ... Read More

Recently, Google announced that starting August 1, 2025, the Google Chrome browser will no longer trust TLS certificates issued by Chunghwa Telecom and Netlock Certificate Authorities (CAs). According to Google, the decision follows a pattern of compliance failures and a lack of measurable progress in addressing publicly reported issues. Chunghwa ... Read More

Assess. Improve. Future-Proof Your PKI Strategy The Need to Give Legacy PKI a Serious Makeover From securing communications and authenticating users to ensuring data integrity, Public key infrastructure (PKI) plays a vital role in keeping today’s organizations secure and trusted. While its importance is clear, deploying and managing PKI effectively ... Read More

Not long ago, cryptography management was a quiet, behind-the-scenes task. TLS certificates had long validity periods, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) felt like a distant conversation, and maintaining an up-to-date crypto inventory wasn’t a top priority. Fast forward to 2025, and the landscape has shifted dramatically. TLS certificate lifespans are shrinking, thanks ... Read More

As the reality of quantum computers capable of breaking today’s encryption algorithms gets closer and closer, the urgency around post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is growing fast. Since NIST announced the first set of standardized PQC algorithms in August 2024 and a timeline for implementation, governments worldwide have launched official roadmaps and ... Read More

Quantum computing is not some far-off theory anymore, and the threat to today’s encryption is real with the clock running for organizations to be resilient. And for banks and finance organizations sitting on mountains of sensitive data, the urgency to prepare for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is growing. With Q-day (the ... Read More

Recently, the CA/Browser (CA/B) Forum approved Ballot SC-081v3, launching a gradual reduction of public TLS certificate lifespans—from today’s 398 days down to just 47 days by 2029. This landmark change ranks among the biggest in PKI in recent years and is already driving intense conversations about how reduced validity periods ... Read More
