The CA/B Forum’s approval of a 47-day maximum certificate lifespan marks a pivotal shift in digital security. While it presents operational challenges, it significantly strengthens online trust, drives automation, and reduces exposure to threats. This change compels organizations to modernize certificate management, improve agility, and adopt a security-first mindset over ... Read More

Subdomain hijacking is a cybersecurity risk where attackers exploit abandoned DNS records to take control of legitimate subdomains. This can lead to phishing attacks, credential theft, and malware distribution. Organizations must regularly audit DNS records, remove outdated entries, and strengthen cloud security policies to prevent these vulnerabilities ... Read More

A Crypto Center of Excellence (CryptoCOE) provides businesses with a centralized framework to manage cryptographic policies, enhance security, and prepare for post-quantum threats. By standardizing encryption strategies, automating certificate management, and ensuring compliance, a CryptoCOE mitigates security risks while improving operational efficiency. With quantum computing on the horizon, organizations must ... Read More

In cybersecurity, perfection is a myth. Yet, time and again, we encounter arguments rooted in an "all-or-nothing" mentality - the flawed belief that if a security measure isn’t 100% foolproof, it isn’t worth implementing. This fallacy, which has persisted for years, leads to inaction and increased vulnerability. Rather than striving ... Read More

Deliberate delayed revocation—the intentional postponement of revoking compromised certificates—poses a severe risk to internet security and trust. This practice creates vulnerabilities, erodes confidence in the web PKI, and weakens industry standards. As a leading Certificate Authority (CA), Sectigo rejects this harmful approach, advocating for immediate revocation, transparency, and accountability. To ... Read More

Public Certificate Authorities (CAs) play a crucial role in maintaining internet trust, but not all CAs meet the highest standards. True CA leadership is built on three pillars: ethical excellence, which prioritizes public trust over corporate interests; technical excellence, which ensures security through automation and innovation; and intellectual excellence, which ...

By 2028, SSL/TLS certificate lifecycles may be cut down to just 47 days - a dramatic shift from the current 398-day maximum. Apple’s recent ballot submission to the CA/Browser Forum proposes this change, and it’s gaining traction among industry leaders, including Sectigo. While some enterprises may see this as an ...

Lattice-based cryptography is a quantum-resistant encryption method that uses complex mathematical lattices, offering security against quantum computing attacks. Unlike traditional encryption methods such as RSA and ECC, which are vulnerable to quantum computers, lattice-based cryptography remains secure due to the computational difficulty of solving lattice problems. It is expected to ... Read More

Quantum computing could revolutionize cybersecurity, but also introduces serious risks, including making current encryption methods obsolete. As quantum computers become more powerful, they may compromise cryptographic systems like RSA and ECC, allowing attackers to decrypt sensitive data stored today. However, quantum computing also offers potential benefits, such as enhanced data ... Read More

The quantum era is approaching fast, bringing both advancements in AI and major cybersecurity risks, as quantum systems threaten traditional cryptography. However, new quantum-resistant algorithms are being developed to mitigate these threats, and organizations must prepare for this shift ... Read More
