How solid is your digital trust—or are you just hoping your PKI is secure?Let's be honest: too many companies run on borrowed trust and forgotten certificates. In this episode of Threat Talks, ON2IT's Lieuwe Jan Koning and Rob Maas pull back the curtain on what really holds your digital world together—and what can tear it down overnight.They break down PKI in plain language: the root of trust that must stay locked away, the intermediates that keep your systems running, and the automation that stops your team from clicking “ignore” on yet another warning.You'll see why rolling your own keys beats trusting anyone else, how to keep your devices speaking the same language of trust, and why short-lived certificates might just save you from the next big breach.This isn't theory—it's how Zero Trust really starts: by proving that your organization can trust itself.Additional Resources• Threat Talks Episode on SSL Decryption – https://youtu.be/Xv_jVHVsD9w• ON2IT Zero Trust: https://on2it.net/zero-trust/• ACME protocol (RFC 8555): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8555/• Let's Encrypt / ACME protocol – https://letsencrypt.org• DigiNotar case study background – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiNotar• Mozilla CA Program (trusted root store): https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA• infographic about encryption  https://on2it.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/20250304_Infographic_Encryption.pdfGuest & Host Links:Rob Maas (Field CTO, ON2IT): https://www.linkedin.com/in/robmaas83/ Lieuwe Jan Koning (Founding Partner, ON2IT): https://www.linkedin.com/in/lieuwejan/Key Topics Covered•  Why root certificates must never be online—and how intermediates provide a safe fallback.•  Real-world PKI failure: DigiNotar compromise and lessons for CISOs.•  How ON2IT built a secure, low-cost PKI with offline key bearers and ACME automation.•  The hidden risks of training employees to ignore certificate warnings—and how Zero Trust demands the opposite.

Di che tipo di vulnerabilità si trattava, come è stata scoperta e perché questo attacco ha suscitato un grandissimo clamore? Ce lo spiega Corrado Giustozzi, esperto di cybersecurity e partner di Rexilience.Continuiamo a parlare di tecnologie per verificare l’età di chi accede a siti e app vietati ai minori. Quale sistema è stato scelto nell’Unione Europea e quindi anche in Italia? Quali alternative esistono sul mercato? Enrico Pagliarini ne parla con Igor Marcolongo, Business Evolution Director di Tinexta InfoCert, il principale operatore di soluzioni Digital Trust in Europa.Nei browser che utilizziamo per navigare sul Web vengono sempre più spesso integrate funzioni di intelligenza artificiale generativa e nascono nuove alternative ai programmi di navigazione web più diffusi. “Di fatto i tool generativi vedono tutto quello che vediamo noi e possono fare tutto quello che facciamo noi” come spiega Simone Righini, esperto di search marketing e motori di ricerca.

Welcome to the Indo-Pacific State of Cyber Series with ISACA and sponsored by Vanta. We present the third session with the State of Trust – Critical to the success of every businessSpeakersJamie Norton - ISACA Board Member Jason Wood - Auckland Chapter former President Reshma Devi - Melbourne Chapter Board Member Evan Rowse – Vanta A copy of the VANTA report is available here https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/vantaA copy of the ISACA report - State of Digital Trust 2024 is available here https://www.isaca.org/resources/reports/state-of-digital-trust-2024Trust is critical to the success of every business. But building, scaling and demonstrating trust is getting harder for Australian organisations.

Today, we dive into the hard-won lessons of digital transformation with Tovi Heilbronn, former digital lead at Harry Rosen and Principal Consultant at Uncork Solutions. From fragile monoliths and business-IT friction to a MACH-powered rebuild that reshaped the customer experience, Tovi shares how his team turned a retail crisis into a strategic breakthrough. He breaks down how they secured executive buy-in, rebuilt trust across departments, and launched both a next-gen ecommerce platform and a clienteling app that brought relationship selling into the digital age. If you're navigating legacy systems, struggling to align business and tech, or trying to scale without drowning in tech debt, this episode is a masterclass in doing it right the first time and maintaining it for the long haul. Tovi also shares why the real value of transformation starts before a single line of code is written, and how upstream strategy can make or break your velocity.

Organizational identity is no longer optional In this episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, host Matthias Reinwarth is joined by cybersecurity research director John Tolbert to talk about the rising threats of organizational fraud, rogue merchants, and the growing need for robust identity verification at the business level. Topics covered: What are rogue merchants, and how do they operate? The staggering fraud numbers behind the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) The importance of Know Your Business (KYB) vs. Know Your Customer (KYC) Why legacy business verification methods are no longer enough How APIs, LEIs, and verifiable digital identities can help The role of CIEM and B2B CIAM in detecting and preventing organizational fraud Whether you're in cybersecurity, compliance, finance, or e-commerce, this episode unpacks how fraud at the organizational level is growing—and what tools and frameworks can stop it.

The last time Philipp Pointner joined me on the podcast, AI was just a whisper on the horizon. We discussed the foundational role of digital identity in establishing trust between individuals and platforms. But fast forward to 2025, and the conversation has shifted dramatically. We're no longer just discussing verification for compliance. We're reckoning with synthetic identities, deepfake armies, and the growing push for reusable digital credentials. In today's episode, Philipp returns to unpack how much has changed since 2022. As Chief of Digital Identity at Jumio, he's right at the intersection of where AI meets trust. Fraud has evolved from lone hackers into coordinated operations that run on an industrial scale. ID fraud is no longer a matter of bad actors copying documents. Its entire networks generate tens of thousands of AI-manipulated identities with the click of a button. So, how are businesses adapting? Philipp breaks down the layered approach required for modern identity verification, touching on risk signals across various channels, including documents, devices, faces, emails, and more. He also points to an encouraging trend: cross-industry collaboration. Companies, regulators, and tech vendors are no longer working in silos. They are coordinating efforts to counter this new breed of threats. But this isn't just about fraud. We explore how identity solutions are now a key part of improving onboarding, boosting customer satisfaction, and even reducing operational costs. With significant regulatory shifts underway in Europe, the UK, and the US, from mobile driver's licenses to national digital identity schemes, businesses can't afford to fall behind. Philipp also tackles the AI paradox. The same technology that enables deepfakes is now critical for combating them. Jumio is using AI to detect fakes, verify liveness, and stay one step ahead of fraudsters. Biometrics, meanwhile, are becoming mainstream, not just in airports but as part of everyday onboarding and authentication. If you're thinking about what identity means for your business in 2025 and beyond, this episode offers a practical, timely look at what's here now and what's coming next. Whether you care about compliance, conversion rates, or protecting your users, it all starts with knowing who you're dealing with. And increasingly, that requires more than just asking for a photo ID. What role will your organization play in the future of digital trust?

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Ashley Stevenson, VP of Product and Solution Marketing at DigiCert, to explore the shifting landscape of digital trust. We are living in a time where certificate-related outages still disrupt critical systems, identity management is becoming more complex, and the arrival of quantum computing is no longer a distant concern. Ashley brought clarity to these issues with a practical look at how DigiCert is helping organizations manage trust at scale. Our conversation began with the foundational role DNS and PKI play in digital infrastructure. While most users never think about them, every secure connection begins with DNS resolving a domain and PKI establishing trust. DigiCert has combined these layers in a single platform, DigiCert1, designed to automate and simplify how trust is managed across networks, users, and connected devices. We explored the increasing importance of certificate lifecycle management. With certificate lifespans moving from 398 days to just 47 by 2029, and domain validations required every 10 days, automation is no longer a convenience. It is a necessity. DigiCert1 addresses this through centralized inventory, policy enforcement, proactive notifications, and full automation from issuance to installation. Ashley also shared insights on the convergence of PKI and identity and access management. From IoT to human users, digital identities are multiplying and evolving. PKI is playing a larger role in enabling passwordless authentication and supporting verifiable credentials, especially as organizations move toward privacy-enhancing and standards-based models. Looking ahead, we discussed quantum readiness and crypto agility. DigiCert is already helping customers evaluate which systems are most vulnerable and preparing them to adopt quantum-safe algorithms when needed. Whether the concern is policy change, an unexpected breach, or emerging tech, the ability to adapt quickly is key. How do you build a strategy for trust that adapts to this pace of change? This episode offers an inside look at how DigiCert is answering that question.

In the latest Leader2Leader episode, Russ Branzell, President & CEO of CHIME, sits down with John Chirillo, Principal Security Architect at Connection, for a timely conversation on cyber resilience, digital trust, and the future of healthcare security.Together, they explore the evolving cybersecurity landscape, the challenges healthcare organizations are facing, and how leadership, continuous learning, and community engagement are key to staying ahead. From real-world insights to future-forward thinking, this episode is a must-listen for digital health leaders navigating today's complex threat environment.

How is digital trust evolving in the age of quantum computing? Quantum computing is no longer a distant future — it's here, and it's already reshaping how we think about privacy, security, and digital trust. If you're curious about the future of privacy and how quantum computing will create both opportunities and risks, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Trent Gillham—also known as Drunk Plato—for a far-reaching conversation on the shifting tides of technology, memetics, and media. Trent shares insights from building Meme Deck (find it at memedeck.xyz or follow @memedeckapp on X), exploring how social capital, narrative creation, and open-source AI models are reshaping not just the tools we use, but the very structure of belief and influence in the information age. We touch on everything from the collapse of legacy media, to hyperstition and meme warfare, to the metaphysics of blockchain as the only trustable memory in an unmoored future. You can find Trent in twitter as @AidenSolaran.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to Trent Gillham and Meme Deck, early thoughts on AI's rapid pace, and the shift from training models to building applications around them.05:00 – Discussion on the collapse of the foundational model economy, investor disillusionment, GPU narratives, and how AI infrastructure became a kind of financial bubble.10:00 – The function of markets as belief systems, blowouts when inflated narratives hit reality, and how meme-based value systems are becoming indistinguishable from traditional finance.15:00 – The role of hyperstition in creation, comparing modern tech founders to early 20th-century inventors, and how visual proof fuels belief and innovation.20:00 – Reflections on the intelligence community's influence in tech history, Facebook's early funding, and how soft influence guides the development of digital tools and platforms.25:00 – Weaponization of social media, GameStop as a memetic uprising, the idea of memetic tools leaking from government influence into public hands.30:00 – Meme Deck's vision for community-led narrative creation, the shift from centralized media to decentralized, viral, culturally fragmented storytelling.35:00 – The sophistication gap in modern media, remix culture, the idea of decks as mini subreddits or content clusters, and incentivizing content creation with tokens.40:00 – Good vs bad meme coins, community-first approaches, how decentralized storytelling builds real value through shared ownership and long-term engagement.45:00 – Memes as narratives vs manipulative psyops, blockchain as the only trustable historical record in a world of mutable data and shifting truths.50:00 – Technical challenges and future plans for Meme Deck, data storage on-chain, reputation as a layer of trust, and AI's need for immutable data sources.55:00 – Final reflections on encoding culture, long-term value of on-chain media, and Trent's vision for turning podcast conversations into instant, storyboarded, memetic content.Key InsightsThe real value in AI isn't in building models—it's in building tools that people can use: Trent emphasized that the current wave of AI innovation is less about creating foundational models, which have become commoditized, and more about creating interfaces and experiences that make those models useful. Training base models is increasingly seen as a sunk cost, and the real opportunity lies in designing products that bring creative and cultural capabilities directly to users.Markets operate as belief machines, and the narratives they run on are increasingly memetic: He described financial markets not just as economic systems, but as mechanisms for harvesting collective belief—what he called “hyperstition.” This dynamic explains the cycles of hype and crash, where inflated visions eventually collide with reality in what he terms "blowouts." In this framing, stocks and companies function similarly to meme coins—vehicles for collective imagination and risk.Memes are no longer just jokes—they are cultural infrastructure: As Trent sees it, memes are evolving into complex, participatory systems for narrative building. With tools like Meme Deck, entire story worlds can be generated, remixed, and spread by communities. This marks a shift from centralized, top-down media (like Hollywood) to decentralized, socially-driven storytelling where virality is coded into the content from the start.Community is the new foundation of value in digital economies: Rather than focusing on charismatic individuals or short-term hype, Trent emphasized that lasting projects need grassroots energy—what he calls “vibe strapping.” Successful meme coins and narrative ecosystems depend on real participation, sustained engagement, and a shared sense of creative ownership. Without that, projects fizzle out as quickly as they rise.The battle for influence has moved from borders to minds: Reflecting on the information age, Trent noted that power now resides in controlling narratives, and thus in shaping perception. This is why information warfare is subtle, soft, and persistent—and why traditional intelligence operations have evolved into influence campaigns that play out in digital spaces like social media and meme culture.Blockchains may become the only reliable memory in a world of digital manipulation: In an era where digital content is easily altered or erased, Trent argued that blockchain offers the only path to long-term trust. Data that ends up on-chain can be verified and preserved, giving future intelligences—or civilizations—a stable record of what really happened. He sees this as crucial not only for money, but for culture itself.Meme Deck aims to democratize narrative creation by turning community vibes into media outputs: Trent shared his vision for Meme Deck as a platform where communities can generate not just memes, but entire storylines and media formats—from anime pilots to cinematic remixes—by collaborating and contributing creative energy. It's a model where decentralized media becomes both an art form and a social movement, rooted in collective imagination rather than corporate production.
