- AppViewX , a leader in automated machine identity management (MIM) and application infrastructure security, today announced the results of a research study conducted by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) on SSL/TLS Certificate Security.
- The survey found that nearly 80% of TLS certificates on the Internet are vulnerable to Man in the Middle (MiM) attacks, while as many as 25% of all certificates are expired at any given time.
- “We were surprised with the sheer volume of expired and self-signed certificates in circulation, and how many organizations are still not using TLS 1.2 and 1.3,” said Ken Buckler, CASP, Director of Information Security Research for EMA.
- “The recent certificate expiration incidents at Cisco, Microsoft and StarLink demonstrate the importance of automating the management of digital identities to eliminate critical outages and ensure strong security and risk postures.”
