Certificate authority (CA) DigiCert has stated that they will invalidate many SSL/TLS certificates due to a critical domain validation flaw. This flaw, which affects over 83,000 certificates, is a serious issue as it undermines the process of verifying the rightful holders of domain names, a crucial aspect of SSL/TLS certificates.…
What is Zero Trust? Zero Trust denotes a cybersecurity framework and architecture that operates under the assumption that there is no compromise of the trust in any user or device, be it inside or outside the network perimeter. In the Zero Trust model, all users’ devices and applications are considered…
