The Root Causes podcast explores the important issues behind today’s world of PKI, online trust, and digital certificates. Early in 2019 the Kremlin announced plans to temporarily disconnect all Russian traffic from the internet as a proof of concept for a potential future cyber war. At the time our hosts Jason Soroko (CTO of PKI, Sectigo) and Tim Callan (Senior Fellow, Sectigo) discussed what a Russian disconnection from the internet might mean and the pitfalls associated with it. With recent announcements from the Russian government that this trial run is complete, now is a good time to revisit that discussion.

Non-HTTPS pages, or pages without an EV SSL certificate validating them as trustworthy, will be flagged as potentially dangerous sites.
