The Cert Wars: The Race Against Expiry
About
The White Paper
The first wave already hit. In March 2026, TLS certificate validity dropped to 200 days overnight. By March 2029 it reaches 47 days, meaning 12,000 renewal operations annually for a mid-size organisation. Manual processes, spreadsheets, and contractors cannot keep up. The math was never going to work.
The Cert Wars is the story of a city that ran on trust. Every building locked, every door sealed, every certificate was managed by one Admin with a clipboard and a spreadsheet. It is the story of what happened when a padlock nobody owned fell off a door nobody visited. And it is the story of how the organizations that survived did not fight the horde. They built immunity to it.
The story is fictional. The math behind it is not.
