We are all familiar with the damage network downtime can do to a business. Most people can probably imagine how losing access to critical business data might affect a company specializing primarily in data, computers, or security—but what about businesses with services that seem non-digital to customers, like local artisans, tattoo artists, restaurants, and coffee shops? Well, they’re at risk too.
Single domain SSL certificates secure both the www and non-www version of a single domain. They are available in Domain Validation (DV), Organization Validation (OV), and Extended Validation (EV) options.
When it comes to securing a website with digital certificates, single domain certificates stand out as the best option since they are more secure, easier to manage and automate, and more cost-effective when compared to other options. Wildcard certificates (secure the primary domain and unlimited subdomains) and multi-domain SSL certificates (secure multiple domains) come with inherent risks that create complex management challenges and could result in significant consequences to the business.
Digital certificates—an integral part of identity and access management—are nothing new, but their uses are increasing as we accept them as the best passwordless security solution. From authenticating machine-to-machine interactions to confirming the digital identity of employees accessing business networks and services, digital certificates are part of every secure interaction. Digital certificates are even issued for IoT devices and are so commonplace in today’s digital environment, that many of us forget how much we rely on them.

What does “crypto” mean? It seems a straightforward question, but the answer is quite complicated. Ten years ago, the answer would be unanimous: it means cryptography, how information is encrypted. However, the rise of blockchain-based currencies—like Bitcoin and Ethereum—brought a shift in how the public thinks about the term.
In a recent post, we discussed the known logical errors that the security community continues to make. Now, let's discuss the emerging technologies that can remedy those fallacies. The fallacies we outlined are rooted in the limits of the technologies that facilitate them. The way to remedy them is to remove those limits, and the trends outlined below illustrate how the industry is moving in that direction.
