DigiCert is a certificate authority issuing SSL/TLS certificates and providing PKI management for websites, devices, and machine identities.
Admins reinstalled Windows after Defender scans began crashing with 0xc0000005 errors. The remedy was a newer signature build, which is not the same thing as a rollback.

DigiCert chief executive Amit Sinha says the 47-day certificate mandate and the post-quantum rebuild share a 2029 deadline, so the renewal automation a PKI team is already budgeting is the migration's first floor. The interview is a vendor's account of its own customers.

Microsoft's Trusted Root Program is running a pilot where participating certificate authorities can test issuance and compatibility against its platform in a controlled environment. DigiCert is the only participant named.

Executive Order 14412 sets Dec. 31, 2030 for high-value assets and one cryptographic function, while Australia's cyber agencies have asked for complete migration by the same year. The same certificate estate gets scoped twice.

Christian Pfister says quantum safety entered the bank's risk meetings in 2022, and the live pilot's problems turned up in load balancers and content delivery networks along the path between customer and server.

DigiCert's survey of IT and security leaders puts a price on the outages that certificate expiry already causes, and it shows how unevenly enterprises are preparing for the 47-day deadline in 2029.

Google said faster progress in quantum hardware and error correction moved its migration to 2029. A Caltech, Berkeley and Oratomic paper published the same month put the qubits needed for Shor's algorithm as low as 10,000.

Thales's Imperva is shipping a connector for DigiCert's lifecycle manager. The deadline that makes it necessary belongs to the CA/Browser Forum, not to any vendor.

A DigiCert CTO argues the human approval step in agentic AI will disappear entirely. If he is right, the control most boards signed off on is going before its replacement is provisioned.
