In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT security leaders Jillian Nix-Anderson and Istvan Berko explore how organizations can secure themselves in the agentic AI era, where vulnerability discovery, response timelines and operational complexity are all accelerating. And they talk about how WWT's ARMOR framework helps teams structure the conversation across infrastructure, models, data, software development, operations and compliance.
SSL Certificate Validity Changes 2025: How to Prepare Your Business Now
Beginning in March 2026 SSL/TLS certificate will begin expiring after 200 days and will continue to be reduced each year until 2029 when validity will be down to just 47 days. This change aims to enhance security, reduce exposure from compromised certificates, and encourage automation, but will require significant changes in certificate management processes for many companies. Organizations should begin preparing now for shorter certificate lifespans and more frequent domain validations to avoid security risks and ensure reliable digital interactions
