Effective website security is now business critical. Website security affects the reputation and operation of virtually every organisation, but with hacks and breaches never out of the news, it’s clear that a faster, more reliable response is needed.
Whether politically, financially or criminally motivated, website hacks affect organisations the world over. Website security is a growing challenge and even something as fundamental as SSL management has proved problematic for companies as big as Microsoft and Google this year, let alone hundreds of thousands of businesses around the world who suffered website hacks, data loss and security breaches.
With the cost of data breaches rising by 23 percent in the last two years, organisations need a new approach to website security and they need it fast. Managing website security isn’t easy, but it shouldn’t be this hard The old style of licensing SSL certificates and delivering website security has made life increasingly difficult for PKI administrators, website security managers and directors of information management. On top of that, the rapidly changing threat landscape has made it harder to predict what defences will be needed and when. Responding to each new development, one at a time, just isn’t practical. The cries for a more supportive, flexible security partner have been getting louder and the need for simplicity has become critical.
Exposing the risk of hidden SSL/TLS certificates. Every PKI and security manager faces the daunting task of searching out hidden SSL certificates and avoiding unexpected expiration. They need tools that will simplify and centralise SSL management. “Trust is the linchpin for everything we do in our digital world,” says Gartner, and yet a third of businesses say their SSL catalogue is less than “somewhat accurate.”
Finding and tracking certificates to avoid unexpected expiration can be extremely difficult, especially if there’s no central management, but it’s vital to trust and productivity. That’s why the right tools and support can be crucial to a business.
