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

Nine Days to Exploitation. Two Weeks to Bypass. How Dataminr and Cortex Break the ToolShell Cycle.
Microsoft patched the SharePoint ToolShell vulnerability chain in July 2025. Within nine days it was under active exploitation. Within two weeks, the patches had been bypassed. Eight months later, a third variant was confirmed in the wild. Dataminr flagged the threat before the first CVE was published, giving customers weeks of early visibility that most organizations never had. This post walks through how the attack works, what it means for each team in your organization, and how Dataminr's early warning, combined with Cortex XSOAR, gives the SOC the visibility and prioritization it needs to stay ahead of a threat that won't stay fixed.
