Last week, on Thursday 30 September, a root certificate from Let’s Encrypt expired. This is not uncommon in itself, but as the certificate had no update or alternative, it meant that all domains and subdomains running the certificate were suddenly no longer listed as SSL / TLS-secured. The result: thousands of web pages and applications failed and were unable to serve the content people requested. What went wrong? And what can organisations do to fix similar issues in the future?

Our team is proud to announce that Cybersprint is nominated for the Computable Awards 2021 in the category Security & Forensics! With our Attack Surface Management platform, we help organisations monitor their attack surface and mitigate the associated risks within. We are pleased that Computable recognises our approach to help make organisations become more digitally secure.
