The radical shortening of SSL/TLS certificate lifespans from 398 days to 47 days by 2029 is shaking up the cybersecurity world. New research shows 96 percent of organizations are concerned about the impact of shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans on their business.

The study from Sectigo, developed in collaboration with global research firm Omdia, surveyed over 270 IT decision makers and finds fewer than one in five organizations feel very prepared to support the coming shift to 47-day certificate renewal cycles.

As quantum computing speeds edge closer to practical use, the ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ approach is already in motion with adversaries collecting encrypted data today, anticipating they'll be able to crack it tomorrow. But is enough being done to prevent it?

New research from Forescout highlights the urgent need for organizations to prepare for a future where quantum-capable adversaries can break widely used cryptographic protocols.

As we approach the end of the year it's time to start wondering what the next one will have in store. As always we'll be running a series of pieces looking at what industry experts think will be key tech industry trends for 2025.

We start with a look at quantum, which is getting ever closer to widespread commercial deployment and could open up great opportunities but is also leading to increasing fears about security.

The arrival of quantum computing, like nuclear fusion, is one of those things that always seems predicted to be a decade or more away, but the issue of quantum cryptography is on the doorstep now.

While quantum computers have the ability to break current encryption methods at alarming speeds, The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) release of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards throws down the gauntlet on quantum cybersecurity.
