DigiCert announced yesterday that the company has been acquired by Clearlake Capital Group and TA Associates. With this latest ownership change, it’s worth pointing out how crucial it is for Certificate Authorities to maintain the highest levels of performance. To preserve its place of extreme trust in the digital ecosystem, a CA needs to get a whole lot of things right.
Suppose cyber hackers successfully penetrated and infected critical components in a manufacturer's vehicles? Imagine now that the bad guys had the software or security keys that could fix these problems, but hold them as ransom, jeopardizing an entire fleet of new cars.
The Root Causes podcast explores the important issues behind today’s world of PKI, online trust, and digital certificates. In this segment hosts Jason Soroko and Tim Callan discuss recent revelations about spoofed GPS signals, their root causes, and the potential impact of this new attack on commonly accepted infrastructure.
I have been engaged with many decisions makers who are evaluating whether or not to use Extended Validation SSL on their sites, and I have repeatedly observed how a psychological phenomenon called loss aversion biases this decision-making process. Read on to learn more.
IoT botnets and cyberattacks just keep coming. The most recent attack, the Silex botnet, is particularly nasty. It doesn’t use devices to create DDoS attacks or attempt to steal personal data. The malware simply deletes the software from the device rendering it useless, or “bricking” the device. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent these kinds of attacks.
In our latest Secure Impressions: Online Banking Study, Sectigo reveals how well the world's largest banks in North America and Europe ensure and demonstrate security of customer information on their online banking websites. Sectigo rated websites based on the presence of SSL certificates; verifications provided by a CA, which confirm that a website is authentic and legitimate.
Leveraging a public root delivers instant universal trust across your user base. An organization may also have servers that are not external-facing and don't need publicly rooted certificates. These servers, however, may still need authentication, signing, and capability, to establish a secure TLS session with other internal servers or applications. This post explains three deployment architectures to consider for using Sectigo Private PKI.
The Root Causes podcast explores the important issues behind today’s world of PKI, online trust, and digital certificates. In episode 5 podcast hosts Jason Soroko (CTO of IoT, Sectigo) and Tim Callan (Senior Fellow, Sectigo) previously described the challenge quantum computing raises against the world’s de facto PKI infrastructure. In this episode they delve into the requirements for a new, post-RSA cryptographic model to replace today’s standard ciphers that will resist the advantages quantum computing holds for breaking today’s cryptography.
