What risks? Major sponsors not using Let’s Encrypt is most likely due to marketing departments using third party software running the company site. I don’t know why, but marketing usually doesn’t want engineering anywhere near their public sites...
- dvtrn 8y agoMajor sponsors not using Let’s Encrypt is most likely due to marketing departments using third party software running the company site. Immensely curious how you came about this conclusion of all the possibilities available
- jteppinette 8y agoMy experience working at tech companies. Also, not assuming that sponsors of Let’s Encrypt don’t trust their certificates.
- res0nat0r 8y agoI currently work for a fortune 5 company, we're not using letsencrypt yet because my team currently doesn't have the manpower to migrate our automation and code to something such as this. Note that I want to move to LE as soon as possible, but we're not on it yet, and folks citing that something like this is easily fixable in a snap just isn't informed on how things actually are working in real world environments.
- noir_lord 8y agoPerhaps or they just work on a different scale of real world. Enterprise is inherently more risk averse than most parts of our industry, largely because they can put a dollar amount on outages. It’s not like cert issues are a solved problem either, O2 (massive uk telecoms provider lost data access for 20 million customers because of cert issues a couple of months ago).
- rhizome 8y agoHeh, in tandem with other current thread(s), I wonder if any company interviews candidates by this criteria.
