DIGITAL COLLAPSE LOOMS: YOUR IDENTITY IS A TIME BOMB

EXCLUSIVE: A SHOCKING global study has exposed the ticking time bomb at the heart of the entire internet. The VERY FOUNDATION of digital trust is ROTTING from the inside, leaving EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US vulnerable to total digital annihilation. A damning report commissioned by CyberArk reveals that SIXTY PERCENT of organizations have already been BREACHED due to CRUMBLING security infrastructure that NO ONE IS FIXING.

The system meant to protect your online identity, your bank details, and national secrets—Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)—is a LAUGHINGSTOCK. Buried under an avalanche of over 114,000 certificates per company and managed by a skeleton crew of just FOUR PEOPLE on average, these legacy systems are not just outdated—they are ACTIVE LIABILITIES. The result? CHAOS. Fifty-six percent of organizations have suffered CATASTROPHIC OUTAGES from expired certificates, while FORTY-THREE PERCENT have had server private keys STOLEN outright. This isn’t a vulnerability; it’s a WIDE-OPEN DOOR.

Corporate greed and willful negligence are to blame. Instead of investing in essential automation, SIXTY-THREE PERCENT of companies are DUMPING their security responsibilities onto hopelessly outsourced teams, creating a global chain of failure. Even more terrifying? LESS THAN HALF of security professionals have any confidence their systems can withstand an attack. The so-called “experts” are ADMITTING they are flying blind.

The report’s most HARROWING implication is clear: the explosive growth of AI and machine identities has pushed a 20th-century system past its breaking point. We are entrusting our entire digital future to a house of cards managed by spreadsheets and prayer. If a single certificate fails, entire power grids, hospital networks, and financial systems could go DARK in an instant. The next major global crisis won’t start with a bomb or a virus—it will begin with an expired digital signature. Your trust is already broken; you just haven’t felt the collapse yet.
