Organizations often assume SSL automation is complex, costly, or disruptive but modern CLM platforms prove the opposite. According to Forrester’s TEI Study, Sectigo Certificate Manager delivers 243% ROI and full payback in under six months. As certificate lifespans shrink toward 47 days, automation is now the fastest, most cost-efficient path to resilience, uptime, and PQC readiness.
Jason explores the role cryptography and trust systems play in the command and control of groups of autonomous drone systems.
Darling Ingredients, a global leader in sustainable food and feed, faced recurring outages due to expired certificates and fragmented management across teams. By adopting Sectigo Certificate Manager (SCM), they unified public and private certificate management under one platform, gaining automation, real-time visibility, and centralized control. SCM eliminated manual renewals, reduced downtime, and streamlined operations with enterprise integrations and policy-driven automation helping Darling Ingredients scale securely and confidently.
Certificate maximum term is shrinking. In this episode we examine exactly how short they could get.
In our ongoing series on AI in 1000 days, we describe the inevitable, complete distrust of voice printing as an authentication method, including why and what we think will happen.
Quantum computing is coming, and one of the earliest signals of its impending arrival is the emergence of 47-day certificates. Frequent certificate renewals help CIOs improve their organization’s crypto agility, helping them build the operational muscles needed for a future where static cryptography is no longer viable.
We begin a new series about what we expect from AI in the next three years. In this episode we discuss AI emulating emotional intelligence and its benefits.
With the first key milestone just over 100 days ahead, IT teams are facing a new reality: manual certificate management is no longer sustainable.
Why SLED institutions must adopt certificate automation ahead of the 47-day SSL lifecycle era
SLED agencies must automate certificates before the 47-day SSL era to avoid outages, noncompliance, and rising cyber risk.
The Future of Digital Trust: Tim Callan on Certificates, Cryptography, and Identity | Ep 1138
In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas sits down with Tim Callan, Chief Experience Officer at Sectigo and one of the leading voices in SSL and PKI technology. With over 20 years shaping the standards of digital trust, Tim unpacks how the invisible infrastructure behind certificates and encryption keeps our digital world secure.
The PKI perfect storm: how to kill three birds with one stone (spoiler: the stone is automation)
Three major PKI challenges are converging: shorter 47-day certificate lifespans, post-quantum cryptography readiness, and the deprecation of mutual TLS. The good news? A single solution, automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM), tackle them all. Learn how automation unifies discovery, renewal, and agility in one coordinated strategy.
In this episode we discuss the value for enterprises in running mass revocation drills and compare the merits of tabletop exercises versus voluntary revocation events.
As AI models move from the cloud to edge devices, the risk of tampering grows. Unsigned language models can be manipulated, threatening integrity and trust. It’s time to apply code-signing principles to AI models because the machines are thinking, and we need to start signing them.
Online security is changing rapidly. Certificate lifespans are shrinking to just 47 days by 2029. Quantum computing will soon make current encryption obsolete. Organizations must automate their systems to manage these shifts.
This prepares them for future threats and ensures business continuity. Digital trust is now a business imperative for India's growing digital economy.
We are joined by guests Pol Holzmer and Johannes Sedlmeir to describe their recent research that documents and organizes public arguments made about QWAC certificates. You can find this research at orbilu.uni.lu/handle/10993/66334.
The MOSH tool aids the use of SSH-secured sessions, especially across different systems. Jason unpacks the security of this system and how it uses encryption and shared secrets.
We have seen the first known instance of an AI tool discovering a zero-day vulnerability. This could have vast implications on vulnerability detection and bug bounty programs. We discuss the implications.
