Today we announced that Sectigo is sponsoring Let’s Encrypt’s new Certificate Transparency (CT) log "Oak." As Let’s Encrypt’s CT log sponsor, Sectigo makes it economically possible for Let’s Encrypt, a non-profit, to create and maintain a CT log capable of meeting high-volume needs.
The Root Causes podcast explores the important issues behind today’s world of PKI, identity, and digital certificates. Podcast hosts Jason Soroko (CTO of IoT, Sectigo) and Tim Callan (Senior Fellow, Sectigo) recently sat down to discuss the issues and requirements surrounding public key infrastructure for Internet of Things (IoT).
Sectigo has acquired Icon Labs, a provider of cross-platform security solutions for embedded OEMs and IoT device manufacturers. With this acquisition, Sectigo’s expanded Internet of Things (IoT) security platform will provide device manufacturers, systems integrators, enterprises using connected IoT, and entire interoperable ecosystems with the industry-first ability to use purpose-built IoT issuance from a trusted third-party CA.
One size does not fit all when it comes to automation of SSL certificate lifecycle management. That is why Sectigo provides a number of alternatives and a choice to pick one or more that are the most suitable for your organization. Here are the many options for your organization.
Last month marked the release of Firefox 66, the newest iteration of the ever-popular web browser. The update adds a number of interesting new features, including improvements to content loading and extension storage, auto-play sound blocking, and support for the AV1 codec (on the Windows version, at least).
When Extended Validation (EV) SSL first launched in 2007 people began to refer to the "green address bar." Browser interfaces have evolved since then. Perhaps the way we refer to how these TLS certificates display should evolve as well.
In order to introduce automation in your network, you do not want to disrupt your existing environment too much. You may already have auto-enrollment and auto-renewal set up in your Windows environment using the Microsoft CA. While this takes care of your internal (private) certificates, you'll have to choose another vendor for your publicly trusted SSL certificate needs. Why deal with managing multiple vendors? You can drop a Sectigo Proxy in your Windows Active Directory server and start issuing both public and private certificates from us.
It is tempting for the enterprise to use S/MIME without automated certificate management in hopes of saving some money by requiring employees to share the burden of managing certificates - but encryption and digital signatures are the best way to ensure the integrity and privacy of email communication. Using S/MIME for encryption allows both sender and recipient to utilize their existing S/MIME capable email applications with their familiar capabilities.
