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

Partner POV | What Is Lateral Movement in Cybersecurity?
Lateral movement in cybersecurity allows attackers to stealthily navigate networks post-breach, escalating privileges and accessing sensitive data. This technique transforms minor breaches into major threats. Understanding and preventing lateral movement through deep network visibility, Zero Trust, and least privilege access is crucial for safeguarding organizational assets.

Stop Treating Cloud Security Like a Post-Deployment Fire Drill
Cloud environments ship too fast for security reviews that happen after deployment. This post breaks down what DevSecOps and cloud workload security look like when they're actually integrated — security requirements defined before code is written, pipeline gates that enforce rather than just report, and runtime findings that feed back to the team that owns the workload. Security built in, not bolted on.
Beyond the Big Stages: Why Grassroots Cybersecurity Events Matter
Cybersecurity isn't just built at RSA and Black Hat. It happens in local communities, regional events and grassroots conversations—and that's where organizations should be investing more of their time and energy.

Is Your Branching Strategy a Security Control or Just a Workflow?
Shift-left security only works if the foundation underneath it is built to enforce it —and that foundation starts with your branching strategy. This post makes the case that branching isn't just a developer workflow decision; it's a security architecture decision. We cover what branch protection actually enforces, how to choose the right model for your team, the three controls to implement this week, and how WWT's Cloud Workload Security practice helps teams build this foundation through hands-on workshops and implementation guidance.

Cyber Resilience: Why Security Fails When It Matters Most
Your organization didn't avoid a cyberattack — it endured one.
That distinction matters more than most leaders realize.
In this WWT Presents Research episode, we push back on the outdated idea that cybersecurity is about keeping attackers out.
Instead, cyber resilience assumes compromise and focuses on what must keep running when defenses fail. Host Robb Boyd is joined by Madison Horn, WWT's National Security and Infrastructure Advisor, and Rob Joyce, former NSA Cybersecurity Director, to unpack why many organizations recover once — but struggle to recover again.
